e-board parts questions

[Martynas]

Hi guys, i'm currently picking parts for my build ant this is how far i got.

ESC: Alien 150A 2-8S Heli ESC BEC - http://alienpowersystem.com/shop/esc/alien-150a-2-8s-heli-esc-bec/
Is this good ESC to run on 8s ? Does it have brakes and will i be able to connect it with wii receiver to control it with wii nunchuck ?

Batteries: Since the ESC can take up to 8s i think it would be a good idea to run it at that so i would have more power to go up hills.
I want about 7-10k mAh so would something like this work
3x ZIPPY Compact 2700mAh 8S 35C Lipo Pack http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/__21401__ZIPPY_Compact_2700mAh_8S_35C_Lipo_Pack.html
can these 3 packs be connected in paraller for a total of 8100mAh 8S ?
If they can't would these http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/uh_viewItem.asp?idProduct=36032 work in 2x2 setup to get 10k mAh 8s ?

Motor : 190-275kv motor, Not sure which one, i want more power(speed or ability) to climb hills so would lower or higher kv be better for this ?

Motor mount: From torqueboards and will try to wield myself.

Controls: Wii nunchuck - arduino + wiireceiver from torqueboards

Deck: I want something very similar to this ,but havent found it for a normal price http://www.aliexpress.com/item/3pcs-OEM-Blank-Skateboard-Deck-Maple-41-5-Longboard-Single-Rocker-Deck-DIY-Patterns-Decks/2005467889.html

Hi Martynas,

The ESC works with the wiiceiver and wii nunchuck. The ESC should be good for up to 8S Lipo.

Batteries - The batteries you've linked too are about 40mm high almost 2 inches. You will want to use 4S batteries if you want to keep the battery height lower.

Motor - 190kv and 275 are both good. I don't notice much of a while difference in my setups.

Thanks for answering, you're really the heart of this community in my eyes, keep it up
Most of the batteries are about 40-50mm high and anyway i was thinking of putting spacers between the trucks and the board to keep the board higher. The only thing that i'm not sure is can i connect 3 of these 8s batteries to ESC http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/__21401__ZIPPY_Compact_2700mAh_8S_35C_Lipo_Pack.html in parallel to get 3x 2700mAh (8100mAh) capacity ?

Currently i'm looking for wheels and a deck. For the wheels i want something that is not hard (plastic) and maybe something like made out of rubber so i would have better ride on non flat tarmac ,but i can't find anything.

Lol thanks but it's not needed. Takes a community not just one person There's a ton more smarter people on here than I.

Using 2700mah would equal too many batteries. IMO if you plan on swapping. If your leaving your batteries in your deck then it should be fine. I like these ones the best I think - http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/__16226__zippy_flightmax_8000mah_4s1p_30c.html

Deck you can shop on muirskate, daddiesboardshop and all the other countless sites. I tend to like decks 32-36" with a kicktail.

For rubber wheels they have http://xtwheelz.com/ but they're about just as hard as the typical ABEC Flywheel type wheels so no point to using them IMO.

A lower durometer might help and/or soft risers. I ride in SF with 83mm Flywheels and they're decent. I've been wanting pneumatic wheels for some time now though. Was thinking of using the 6" Caster wheels but I think the MBS 8" Offroad's are more durable. Going to be a much bigger board lol.

...Does it have brakes. ?

It has no brakes : " BRAKING: % (CAR ONLY)"

You should be able to update the firmware to a car ESC and it should be fine. I'd ask Bruno to double check.

I send an email for confirmation about firmware update.
I decided that for the trucks ill go for randal 180mm 50deg raw trucks
The batteries that u linked me earlier ill get 2 of them to get 8s 8000mAh
Is there some kind of shield/case for the outrunner motors ? Because i don't really wanna know what happens when some small stones or dirt gets into the motor when going at 15-30km/h
