Hey guys! i’m planning my esk8 build right now and ive more or less decided to copy this build. However. i also would really like to use hub motors in my build because they’re quieter and i can still push my board if i run out of juice. I can’t afford a set of hummies or carvons but i did find these which i thought were interesting. There seem to be a lot of sets of dual hub motors on aliexpress for about $150 and i basically want to know if they’re total junk or worth buying.
it’s probably worth mentioning im pretty light (like around 120lbs) and i want to run this off of 6s lipos but i can obviously go up from there if i need to
yeah 1800 watts (on the torque) sounds like way too much
as the actual expert on hubs, should i cop these alibaba ones or should i stick to a satellite drive? i like the idea of being able to push a dead board around
I’m no expert just interested.
Of course I’m biased and think you should get the hubs I sell!
Steelhubs.com
But I don’t sell those ones on there, long freak wheels and motors now. You can find pics here. Very new
Low resistance for pushing is nice but I almost never push.
1800 is not the continuous power possible but some unknown peak momentary power. Even two of those won’t put out 1800 continuous
Hell, these Chinese are pretty confusing with numbers. But it’s obvious that the price can’t be 50 for each set, cause a vesc alone, even from the worst factory, would cost more than that
