Hello everyone!
I made a build last year around this time, august I believe, but decided not to go trough with it because I didn’t have any longboarding experience, basically chickened out .
However this year me and a friend decided to get a longboard first to see if we would like it and then take the plunge into an e-skate. I built the board to be eskate upgradable, basically just used caliber II trucks and flywheel clones.
The board will be mainly used to cruise and get around. Does not need to go super fast, I’m not a daredevil, so only some decent torque / acceleration is needed, no crazy top speeds
Now for the last weeks I have been going trough the forums and my build of last year again and decided to improve a little bit upon it, in combination with new stuff I’ve learned and found. I have access to a soldering iron, basic tools, 3D printer and also have basic electricity and building (DIY) knowledge.
The entire build should go for around 650 depending on shipping / import costs or switching to more expensive VESC or other components.
10s2p should give me decent range and still be portable enough.
The N.E.S.E modules are convenient for someone who owns a 3d printer but not a spot welder. Enclosure I will design and print myself, all will be printed in PETG.
The BMS would be used for charge / discharge, if the 45A is not enough for this I’ll only do charge wiring.
In case I’m missing anything, or I’m choosing incompatible parts, please let me know!
