Electric longboard first build

Hi to all members. I’m a new at this forum. I’m going to build electric longboard. And I need little help with motor. Will this motor be good for build: https://www.der-schweighofer.si/ROXXY-BL-Outrunner-D63-72-Air230kv-a90651

I will have single setup on 8-10s and gears 16-48. I’m looking for more torque and not for speed. Tnx

If you want torque over speed you better lower the kv 6374 170kv would be my choice.

Expensive motor AF. Do a lot more research before u waste ur moneys

Those look like they would connect easily to a Focbox, that would remove some DiY work - does it have any hall sensor connectors?

no sensors 10 char

all bldc motors connect easly to a bldc controller?.. not sure what your aiming for there. Hallsensors are overrated imo.

I recently got into this more seriously as a hobby other than just riding around lol sorry, just saw a motor I didn’t recognize and noticed it could connect to my Focs

Don’t worry about it, you got me scouring hobby king for some 149 kv Turnigy motors now lol - I can’t find any on hobby king but I did find some here on Amazon via HobbyKing. I’m thinking it might be worth it, since I wanna get more torque and less drain on my batt; though with Focs, I think that wont be a problem…

Yes I see this turnigy sk3 motors. But I think robbe is much higher quality and more reliable than turnigy. Robbe motor is equipped with triple ball bearings which are are big and can take more load. I can get this motor at really good price only 50e for new one. Here’s link with English description : https://www.multiplex-rc.de/produkte/314992-roxxy-bl-outrunner-d-63-72-air-200-kv

My consider is just if it will perform beter than turnigy.

For esc I will use this one https://hobbyking.com/en_us/turnigy-sk8-esc-v4-12-for-electric-skateboard-conversion-w-bec.html

I hope it will be ok.

The mounting holes say 14mm centres which won’t fit regular mounts. There is the x adapter plate which may make it fit although it will stick out further.

I have custom made mount…so this is not a problem for me.

Do you think it would fit on an Evolve mount?

I don’t know. Between holes is 4cm.

I just tested my e-longboard for the first time…it is insane My setup : 5s lipo, turnigy vesc, motor pulley 16t, wheel pulley 48t, belt htd 3m 15mm wide, 70mm wheels and mini remote control from ebay. I cant believe how fast is it. It run very smoth and nice. I noticed when I breaking my belt sliping. Must be problem with 3m belt. I will order new set with 5m pulleys and belt. I will also buy 80mm or 90mm wheels but I need off roads. In my country roads are very rough.
