Beginner setup/compatibility check

ESK8 Electronics
#1

I’m new to the entire scene and after what I believe to be sufficient research I’ve got my first parts list. I’m ready to pull the trigger and order it all, but I just wanted to double check and post here that everything compatible and there are no major bottlenecks or anything else I might be missing or can do to improve. This list can also be used by anyone in the same position as me. If anyone actually takes the time to look through some of these parts then a million thanks to you!

Deck - https://ebay.to/31reZtK (might go with a pintail not sure)

Trucks(Calliber 2 50 deg) - https://bit.ly/32r2huj

Wheels(83mm flywheel) - https://bit.ly/3lihw1l

Motor mount - https://amzn.to/3aVaYAW

Pulley/gears - https://bit.ly/3gpDb3T

Motor(6355 180kv) - https://bit.ly/2FUMV9P

ESC+Remote - https://bit.ly/31tJCPq

Batteries(21700, 10s2p) - https://bit.ly/34EhYRP

BMS - https://bit.ly/32r34LN

Charger - https://bit.ly/3aVL2Fm

Battery monitor - https://bit.ly/2EpYplm

And finally for the battery pack I believe I only need 2 14 gauge cables(https://bit.ly/2YzlKYx) 1 pair of xt-90 connectors(https://bit.ly/2Qmuahy), and the nickel strips(https://amzn.to/2EqVJ71).

This is everything I’ll be getting nothing more nothing less. I don’t think anythings missing but of course that’s why I’m posting. For anyone looking to build a setup in total this is right about $450 and all the calculators I’ve put it into say I can get around 20-30 mph, and just under 20mi distance. Any feedback from anybody more knowledgeable at all is extremely helpful. If you made it this far thanks a ton!

motor mounts can destroy like everything.

here’s a short list

  • motor pulley

  • motor itself

  • belt that cost 5 bucks and takes months to arrive

all and all If you aren’t skint or broke just go for it you’ll learn rather fast that way.

also I’d up to 90mm+ on the wheels adleast just for clearance sake.
