Hey guys, it’s my first post, and decided I might as well say high! I’m a total noob, (but quite the nerd when it comes to computers) and I decided I wanted to find a fun new hobby. 
And advice for a first-timer would be rad!

Hi, Totally addicted to my Fiik Street Surfer.
Yesterday it stopped. Remote does not see or control board. Everything else seems normal. Thanks for any advice before I crack the electronics open.
Also looking to radically hack ES in Austin, Texas, if anyone reading this is nearby.

Hello DIY community, Just build my 1st Esk8 and having a blast ridding it. It’s a road setup carving and speed.
Board generic 38" Trucks Flipsky 13.78 dual KP Motor Flipsky 6384 190 kv VESC Flipsky dual 6.6 Battery custom 12S 6P Remote Flipsky VX2 Pro
So far more power than I can use, working on my skills.
It’s good to know that there is a good group for support here.

Hello,
I’m stijn. I’m a 24 year old getting into esk8 ing after using a onewheel for over 2 years now.
I recently bought an ownboard carbon as a starting base and learning platform. I mainly use the boards for commuting (partially with train) but enjoy the occasional longer ride.
I’m currently planning on rebuilding the original hobbywing remote to fit my own hands a bit better and to have more control.
I’ve got a 3d model and pcb design background and currently work in pcb/electronics repair for the belgian railways.

Hello, I’m building my first electric skateboard at the moment. It has dual 800 watt 10in hub motors, independent suspension, and a 10s 7p custom lithium-ion battery. It’s been over a year since I first made the CAD but it’s finally almost finished.

@torqueboards is a local company to you have has a really good deal on a ESC right now that would let you change to using any remote you like and add telemetry like speed and range etc…
Please make a thread for help and we can getit working great!

Have you ridden it before or this is first run of the thing?
I’ve ridden it a bit at low speeds but I just finished up welding the spring system on the rear trucks so I’ve never ridden it fully finished. Got to do a bit of grinding and everything needs paint, but otherwise it’s done.

Hey guys, pretty old forum member but recently got back into building now that I have a bit more time on my hands. Looking forward to catching up on new and improved diy parts!

Thanks for the help so far.
I am cracking open my Street Surfer next, to see what sort of Flintstones electronics inside. If no simple fix, I’ll upgrade to Torqueboards ESC and remote.
Will take a picture of the components and start another topic. There are quite a few Fiik boards out there, but almost no documentation. Upgrading esk8 dinosaurs looks like a “thing”.
