Currently I have the ESC Substitute, the same one that Meepo used in their first boards. The Focbox will come in a few days

I’ve printed the enclosures, they will be used as the moluds and I’m gonna make them with resin and fibreglass

When they are dry, I’ll sand and paint them! :slight_smile:

I’ve added too much of part B for the resin and it caught fire… Be careful! (it’s poliester resin, I was supposed to add about 2-3% of part B to the mix.)

I’m looking forward to where this is going. Have you got a budget in mind?

Hmmm… So the focbox is around 150e The motor is 120e but i got it used for 60 I’ve build my battery pack with bms and charger and that was about 100e The wheels were about 30 usd (from meepo) The motor mount about 15 usd The longboard 80 euro Firefly remote was about 10 bucks to make and the enclosures… idk about 50 myb

  • chains/belts and stuff like that

So around 450 usd myb… But i’ve spent like over 800 in total because i’ve bought alot of parts that i dont use now… This is my 3rd motor

My deck broke so I got the loaded vanguard, but now i have to make new enclosures
