First electronics build proposal from a new builder

Hi newbie here trying to put together my first electric skateboard build. After some basic research I’ve come up with the following electronic set up.

Battery: https://hobbyking.com/en_us/turnigy-high-capacity-battery-8000mah-4s-12c-drone-lipo-pack-xt90.html (two of these, planning to connect in series to make an 8s pack)

Motor: https://hobbyking.com/en_us/turnigy-aerodrive-sk3-6364-245kv-brushless-outrunner-motor.html

Ive also looked into a balance charger for the batteries as I know Lipo batteries can be dangerous when charged uncautiously

Am I missing anything glaringly horrid with this setup or is this a reasonable start point? Any advice as to what changes I should consider?

Thanks :slight_smile:

consider how your going to mount your motor to your trucks because that’s really important,what gearing ratio, chain or belt etc
