I’ve been looking to build my first electric longboard and noticed that motors from ESK8 specific suppliers tend to be more expensive. Saw a video a while ago (can’t find the link anymore, I think it was from enertion) explaining how ESK8 specie motors like the R-spec have things like better quality windings so they don’t melt under high load. Then I also see many people using the Turinigy Aerodrive SK3, is it necessary to spend the extra on an ESK8 specific motor or will a normal hobby motor work fine?
