Hi, I decided to start building my mountain board with a single engine configuration, and then adding a second engine in a V2. Given this, which motor do you recommend me? Size and KV.
Any other advise or recommendation on any other aspect of the construction is more than welcome.
Thanks.
Low kv⌠High battery S, It is hard to give advice on this as all parts are a balancing act together, the classic would be 12s, around 150kv and a RC car esc,⌠but Vesc6? budget? what you doing for a mount? As they say in gaming âŚ

30c would be enough? I do not understand the last part of your comment, my English is very limited.
I would be willing to buy a vesc6, maybe FOCBOX if I had the certainty that it is suitable for what I intend to build.
I understand that my other option is FVT 120 12S - âSleeping Lionâ, will the braking be good?
What inclines me to choose a Vesc is the safety in the braking, so it is important that if I choose another option, it has similar characteristics in the aspect of braking.
At first I do not look for a great acceleration or speed, I will get to that point when I make the V2, if I look for a decent speed, safety in braking and good torque.
Maybe the new 125kV turnigy motor from hobbyking? It has sensors so great for startup torque. Sealed so rock canât go inside the motor. I got the motor right now and itâs very silent, powerful and well built.
Is not it too small? in that size I have seen that people speak very well of the big foot heel 160 5335, but it seems to me a very small motor.
This isnât a small motor 
Itâs 63mm diameter and 55mm long so I shouldnât say itâs a small motor
I thought the reference in the name â5035â indicated the size of the engine, so this engine is not 5335? Bigfoot160-5335-245Kv https://www.raidentech.com/p/10484-Tacon-Big-Foot-160-Brushless-Out-Runner-Motor-for-Airplane-245KV.aspx
I actually donât know anything about those ââ5335ââ-numbers. I only look to the kv rating, diameter, max amps/power/voltage. Yeah I have heard about that motor but isnât the kv rating to high?
Yes, it can be a very high kv, but it seems better motor in terms of numbers, can the high kv be solved with a different ratio in the transmission?
I would recommend sk3 6374 149kv with 12s. If you can get censored ones, that would be recommended. Focbox would be sufficient enough but if budget is not an issue, then vesc 6. But then again if budget is not an issue, go dual right away. I did what youâre trying to do, mono drive. It was disappointing, itâs ok if you donât plan to go offroad.
Mostly I want to be able to run on dirty roads, not the mountain, maybe some gravel and dirt (like parks paths). I am almost convinced to choose the Sleeping Lion, it cuts the budget quite well, I also understand that the Vesc have little power for e-mtb. Do you think the turnigy engines are of better quality than the Tacon?
I actually donât know anything about those ââ5335ââ-numbers.
That probably are stator dimensions 
I must say I didnât know this motor was so big, nice pic with 50mm motor size comparizon.
Where are you located?
Madrid (Spain)
Do you already have the trucks, mountsâŚ
And do you have an estimated budget?
Yes, tomorrow I will see this table to buy second hand. 145âŹ, seems like a good price, right? https://cdn.wallapop.com/shnm-portlet/images?pictureId=355065420&pictureSize=W640
About budget, i started with the idea of putting whatever Chinese motor to my current longboard, to start on eboards build, and now I want to build a mountainboard, the budget is growing every day, so it is flexible.
Canât say anything about the board, I couldnât see much(
I would say get 2 FOCBOXâs from @okp https://www.unikboards.com/fr/boutique/focbox-motor-controller/
And 2 motors from @JLabs https://buildkitboards.com/collections/parts/products/6374-190kv-motor?variant=30211207493
As well as the remote and kindly ask him to perhaps put a second receiver for you for free) https://buildkitboards.com/collections/parts/products/mini-remote
Thanks @BoostedBuilder , but I think choosing the most expensive of the most used components is the easy and expensive way, my idea is to look for a good value for money.
Sure @Nicoalix
Iâm making an order from this guy and he also sells these: https://m.ebay.com/itm/C6374-high-efficience-brushless-motor-170KV-for-electric-skateboard-longboard-/302439715230?_trkparms=aid%3D222007%26algo%3DSIM.MBE%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20150519202348%26meid%3D12f2ee19a97f4284914b29dbb9a8f884%26pid%3D100408%26rk%3D13%26rkt%3D25%26sd%3D272848829754&_trksid=p2056116.c100408.m2460
I donât know if they are tested but the price is what you want I guess, they are senosred, and seem very powerful so you can try going that route!!
But I would still recommend using FOCBOXâs!!
