Hi there,
I have been following you for quite a while, as a ready. But it's time to contribute to this big family of e skateboarders!
Well, after many (many) years skateboarding, snowboarding, kitesurfing... it's time for me to build/assemble my own electric skateboard. I have also been 5 years into RC (3D helicopters, cars...). This is now time to mix best of both worlds.
I was looking at evolve boards. They cost like 1000 euros delivered with a good combo between miles and speed. Well it's plug and play but I'm quite sure I can do something better, build myself with your advices.
Requirement : City cruising with a great top speed (30mph), good torque and of course under 9kgs. I have no CNC neither 3D printer available and would prefer to have a sleek finish (no big transparent box from wallmart to protect the electronics)
- Board : WeFunk Stealth Division made in Germany - what a beauty !
- Mechanical part : Alien Precision Caliber I and II Truck mount kit - Dual Diagonal Motor - 36T - 12T pulley - 8mm shaft
- Electronic part : Alien Power Systems - 4.4kw kit - 7s 10ah battery
- Trucks : Caliber II 184mm 50° Melon color
- Wheels : 76mm Abec Flywheel 78A
- Remote control : Nunchuck + wii receiver
Thanks a lot for your recommendations, I will keep this thread live - seems to be a pretty decent setup.
