I just ordered my battery pack from themlooks like a great option but costs twice as much for the same performance. If I didn’t want to learn to build a battery pack I would go with them.
Fully respect that I don’t have that much time available for a battery build unfortunately
Making batteries is fine, but if you want something that is very durable then you need the right tools and the skill to use them, typically people are not willing to make the investment

I don’t see a battery listed, which is 3rd on the list
Also, I don’t know how well a 3D printed enclosure will hold up. A fiberglass one will be a LOT better. Flipsky ESCs are not the best choice but their motors aren’t too bad.

Thank you for your list that is very helpful. Im building the battery, the parts are further down in the spreadsheet. I have picked out a deck, its on the list. Im an engineering student so I am looking forward to designing the enclosure. Im printing it with PETG which is much stronger than PLA filament but will do thorough testing to make sure everything is safe and will keep my electronics safe. I know the esc is under powered for the motor. I plan on upgrading that down the line, for now im just trying to save a hundred bucks and from my understanding it will still work. I already have cads for the enclosure to make sure everything fits.

You comfy with double king pin trucks? I have a lot more speed wobble with them. I just go slower…
