hey guys I'm trying to build an electric mountainboard I've been to numerious forums and I've tried talking to hobbyking support but they are not helping me. I have an sk3 6364 190kv motor an need help getting batteries controller and charger for it. Ill be using a dual motor setup. I'm a total noob when it come to this please. Need help
 
Hey welcome to the forum!

I'm kinda new too but I think you should read the sticky on longboard build. A lot of the parts there are also good for mountainboards.

1) you'll need a ESC. Make sure the amps meet the motor specs
2) batteries most common setup 6s 5000mah
3) Radio system

These are just the electronics. For The actual board and mount you have to look around and see what fits you the best.
But definitely read the first thread.

Hope this helped.
 
Agree..
Take the time to do some research here and your build will go a lot smoother...

Youll be an expert by then..actually not..but you'll save time and money.
 
Yes, definitely read up that way you at least know what the main terminology are. Here's the main one you want to check.

FREE Step By Step 6S Electric Longboard Build Guide - http://endless-sphere.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=35&t=56375.

There's a few people on here that have built emountain boards. They also have mounts for sale if you didn't want to fabricate your own. They most of the time are chain driven as they can deal more with the beating of offroad rather than belts.

Good luck should be fun! Build a 4WD Mountain Board!
 
if im running a dual motor setup will i need two esc? i will have 2 batteries 6s 5000 mah should i go parallel or series on it other setup is having 4 3s 5000mah batteries.
 
From what it looks like is if you have a powerful enough ESC with higher amp rating then you can use it to power a 2nd motor. Check the end of this thread here for more research - http://endless-sphere.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=35&t=55119&start=25.

If you are running 2x 6S 5000mah. You can run in parallel and have 10,000mah 6S and/or in series and have 12S 5000mah. However, if you do 12S you would need an ESC that works with 12S. I personally prefer the 3S 5000mah or 8000mah ZIPPY Flightmax batteries as they are real thin at about 25mm's. Just under an inch. I would then just pair them together in whatever setup you need 2P2S, etc.

Yes, the safest way is to have two and use a y connector. I haven't tried running 2 motors on the EZ RUN 150A Pro. I'll most likely try it to test.
 
You can buy another EZ Run Pro 150A from ValueHobby about $90 shipped in US. I think it's this connector here for the Y connector - http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/__9690__jr_y_servo_lead_30cm_length_5pcs_bag_.html. You simply just connect both the ESCs to the y connector and the 1 end of the y connector to the receiver.
 
What do I need to connect two motors, I've already purchased two motors I have one esc I might need to get another once how do I connect everything together

You will need a Y connector for the ESC's RX connectors. Depending on if you are going to power each motor with an individual battery each and/or together. You can for example use 6S and if you have (2) 150A ESC's. You will need to have a connector where both "positive/red" turn to one wire and both "black/ground" turn to one wire. Those two wires should now be positive/ground and should go to the ESC itself. You'll need to utilize a few different Y connectors which you will have to solder/create yourself.
 
im trying to run a dual motor setup ive already mounted both motors in place i hooked it up and one motor its working the other the red light its going on off im running two turniny 190 kv and 2 ezrun 150a escs i have a hobby king 2.4 ghz remote and ideas do i have to add something to run dual
 
Similar to this guy here - https://www.google.com/search?q=servo+y+connector

It's a Y Servo & Extension lead. You have to remove one of the red ones that you plug into the esc wires on one of them. Use a xacto and put the pin down and pull through.

You really have only one of the two ESC connected to the receiver?
As far as y cables are concerned, you might find them in a remote control model shop, especially if they deal with planes
