Recently, I got a Kryptonics board from wal-mart. With a quick change of bearings and bushings, it holds quite well to my Penny Board, but I am willing to take things to the next level. Considering how cheap the board is, I am willing to kick it up a notch to make it motorized.
I have done some research and went to some hobby stores for some help, but it always looked clunky and unappealing in terms of performance and turning (Pen E board, Kickr). With that in mind, I thought of putting one motor inside the bottom left wheel along with a flat battery pack for the bottom of the deck. (The hobbyist explained that if the battery is to rupture in some way, it will heat rapidly and may risk my life)
I am aware of the fact that more components are needed (ESC, Speed controller, etc), which is why I am here to ask questions from experienced people. I am very new to this field and community and would like to make this project a reality with you guys.
Any help or opinions? Where should I start?
