I’m trying to do the same thing, a good board under 500 euros. I spent 175 on wheels (90mm flywheels clones), pulley+belt kit, motor (sensored 6374) and remote (torqueboards trigger one) from @ajaynagra, best prices in Europe, 25 on a motor mount from a group buy here on the forum, 125 for a custom 7s2p li-ion battery pack with bms, switch and charger, i’m waiting for a 100 dollar vesc from another member of the forum and will probably buy some caliber trucks on eBay for 30 bucks. That keeps me under 500, I can probably buy some custom enclosures and stay under the budget limit

Single drive.

Ty, @ajaynagra. But what with a VESC? which one is good to this setup? And which charger is best for the Lipo’s? Will i need to buy a ON/OFF switch, or is it with? Do you have a good website that sells the mechanical kit to EU?

Sry that i have so many questions. But you are fantastic to help:)

Im trying to work with @onloop with VESCx in Europe. Maybe a potential group buy.

It might be too expensive for your budget maybe look at this if you want to wait

How much do you want to spend on a deck

Hmm. I think about the $70-75.

I will soon be selling a deck for £50

32

Nice. Do you have any pictures of it?

33

It will be this,

I will be making improvements to it aswell, :smiley:

Nice! That deck looks absolutely dope :smile:. Do you for example make a concave on it? You know, making it curve downwards?

35

Yeah thats what i am going to do, it has a slight concave already
