Hello to everyone on the forum, I am just doing a little update on my longtime planned board.
This is the setup I am going with and some parts that have already come in;
2x SK3 6374 192kv motors
1x torque boards 218mm trucks
a gearing of a 20/36
12s lithium ion battery
custom built wireless controller (i made the solidgeek one)
107mm wheels
deck (IDK, i need help deciding one…)
speed controller (idk if i should go with the focbox, or the diyelectric vesc)
I need help to decide what deck to get and what speed controller, help please!! Ask me any questions you have as well!
Also, I weigh 155 pounds and don’t worry I have full motorcycle gear including a big ass motorcycle helmet for this, I know ill hit speeds above 40 mph.
You could theroetically hit 60 MPH on this, make sure you get a downhill deck designed for those speeds. The one @Deckoz just suggested is a good choice.
As always be careful and safe when hitting high speed, and make sure to take video as proof if you end up getting above 50 MPH or so.
I think he’ll be fine. In my early days I ran that exact gearing on 90mm wheels with VESC set to only 50Amps. With 2 motors and VESC set at 80 Amps, I think he’ll be alright, he just won’t rocket off the line
I’m pretty sure that a motorcycle helmet will do more harm than good in the sport. The additional weight as compared to something like tsg can cause basilar skull fractures…
