I’m thinking about replacing my single chain DC build with a dual hub lipo cruiser, what’s the cheapest reasonable build? I’m thinking less than $250 and less than 8kg

Drive train: ($129) (4kg) eBay dual hub 550W 90mm [offer of dual Koowheel made] ESC: ($66) (1/3kg) dickyho dual hub ESC w/ remote Battery: ($42) (2/3kg) Turnigy 6s 4Ah lipo (butterfly modded) [offer of 3x 4s Flourion cells made] Deck: (owned) (1/2kg) nickel board deck Enclosure and handle: (not a lot) (1/2kg) vacuuformed sheet and 3D prints Charger: (owned) iMax B6 (hence the 6s)

Maybe looking for a 10s lipo bms if you got one

Post if you know where to get cheaper PM if you’ve got something similar you wanna sell

Have ___ to trade for stuff

  • glowing white ABEC clones w/ bearings
  • 10s DC ESC and remote
  • 170mm super light white RKP trucks (steel axle and plastic hangar/baseplate)
  • TKP trucks with welded mount (made for 3" DC motor but I can re-drill them for you)
  • 180mm clone Paris trucks (perfect condition)
  • 60mm longboard wheels (I can steal them from the other wheels)
  • 50mm skateboard wheels w/ bearings

I’ve got 3 4s LiPo I could sell…

#3

The esc he wants to use doesn’t accept any of the battery combinations made with 4s batteries unless completely dismantled

#4

Ah ok didn’t see that haha

#5

No worries…I was gonna flatten it anyway…a cell is a cell…TBH if by half a dozen individual cells if they were cheaper

Pics of these tkp trucks? Single or dual mounts? 50xx or 63xx?

#7

Basic aluminum trucks with a DC motor mount, standards trick board material with a 3/8 plate for 3" motor

#8

There’s Zippy 4s Lipo with 5Ah Well, you may go 8s with 10$ more

#9

I want a higher voltage pack but then I’d need to buy an 8s or 10s BMS

I don’t think I’ll need more than 14mph on a campus board and I don’t think it’s safe on such a small deck

Who thinks these will work well together? Rumors going either way so far (new ESC and used wheels)

  • Cheap/light/fast
  • You’re burning money

If these are the trucks I think they are, they might be Caliber TKP hollow-kingpin.

Neither 50xx nor 63xx but would need to be drilled for mount holes.

I’m not sure the hubmotors will work fine with the esc. I have had that esc too and it did only work with motor with a specific amount of motorpoles. If you wanne be sure it works well I should also buy hubmotors from dicky.

Ownboard also sells pretty affortable and good hubs and esc. chrome

Gonna risk it for the biscuit, $40 less for front trucks and 200W more power. Bobby says it works well enough for what I need so I’m gonna go for it
