I have a pair of never used hub motors here: http://www.electric-skateboard.builders/t/eu-dual-90mm-hub-motors-trucks-front-wheels-never-used-120-shipping
For hobbyking mount you need their trucks 30$, just change the bushings. Then add two 5s 3ah zippy 34$. Add hobbyking vesc for 60, cheap longboard for 30 and Tupperware box for enclosure. And there you go, cheap 250$ esk8.
Youāre right, sorry. Good luck with the project though.
How much do you think shipping to Canada would be? Because Iām actually quite interested
The HK mounts are compatible with Caliber II trucks, which I must prefer rather than some Chinese origin trucks that are probably casted with impure aluminum that will inevitably fail. Buy once, cry once.
Yeah, I was hoping itās end up under 210$ CAD, if the shipping wasnāt so expensive Iād buy em
Yeah I was looking to get caliber trucks
Tell you what, they are yours for $240 CAD including shipping. Thatās the lowest I can go.
I got the banggood hubs last week. I rode them a good amount over the weekend. They are good, and are a steal at that price. I ran them on a 10s2p pack (am trying to keep weight down), 2 focboxs, i probably couldāve just used DIYās Vescs for this but used what i had on hand. I set up canbus style, 15 amp batt max to each vesc and 30 amp motor max to each motor. I am about 180 lbs and the board responded well. The hubs were torquey, and fast enough, i didnāt measure speed, also the hubs didnāt get hot at all. This setup is not as fast as my dual belt drive but is fine nonetheless. All in all i was pleasently surprised by these hubs. On a side note, the banggood hubs look identical to Maytechās hubs. The hubs came already attached to the truck hanger and i noticed some very slight wear on the hardware, which leads me to believe these hubs are maytech refurbs. Also, I cannot get the hubs off of the trucks, I wanted to dissassemble but even with significant force, I canāt get the axle nut loose. I guess itās been loctited or something. I may put a torch to those nuts (lol) at some point and see whatās cooking inside but so far I am pretty satisfied.
My hubs are not tightly on the trucks. There arenāt any locktite or anything. All i had to remove is the normal bolt on end of axle. But then my hub bolts are very tight and bad, canāt twist without rounding the bolt head 
But i donāt need to look inside anyways until iāll need to change the rubber.
By the way, have you got the hall sensors working with VESC?
Yeah, Iām really sorry but Iāll have to pass
yeah, had to solder bullet connectors and sensor connectors.
Interesting. Do you have a picture?
I mean, VESC detected the hall sensors right away withour any extra circuitry etcā¦?
yea, once i soldered correct connector and ran hall sensor detection in vesc, all was good.
