Hello everyone, I already intended to build my first board last year, but the summer ended so I dropped it in the hope of building it this year. I haven’t completely decided about what parts to use yet, but I kind of know what I’m aiming for. So I would try to build a board with a single 6374 motor, 10S battery, and VESC. Also, I’m located in Europe.
VESC: Probably going to use the Focbox (or is there another viable option that isn’t overly expensive)
Motor: Bought the APS 6374 HEV 170kv - http://alienpowersystem.com/shop/brushless-motors/aps-6374hev-outrunner-brushless-motor-170kv-3300w/Remote: GT2B with a custom case looks like the most reliable way to go.
Battery: I have decided that I’ll get a 10s4p Li-ion pack from a local battery builder, I currently don’t which cells he uses, but I’m sure I can have it built with samsung 30q or some other cells that are good for esk8.
Other parts :
Motor mount: Caliber V2 mount from @e.board_solutionsEnclosure: Not sure yet, might try diy fiberglass
Deck : I’m going to use the deck from my Brunotti Boxter, maybe I’ll later upgrade to a loaded vanguard.
I was going to use 44-degree Caliber II trucks and 97mm flywheel clones, my deck is a bamboo-fiberglass sandwich, it flexes, but since I’m pretty lightweight I don’t think it’ll be a much of a problem.
I have almost the same setup what you planning but on a mountainboard trampa:
single
FocBox
motor sk3 6374 192kv
nano-x remote
4 x 5s 5000mah = 10s10000mah
gears 15/72
This setup is realy good. I can reach 55km/h without any problem but i have big tires 8". Range is around 15/18 km its depend on your ride style. I can go up the hill and still speedup.
Hi!
The Vesc and motor you picked are good for a 10S battery. For the deck you have to pay attention to the flex. If it flex then either you make it stiff by adding carbon fiber or fabirglass or you split your enclosure in two part, front and back. For the trucks few are compatible with the motor mount available (as moon said). THe last thing the battery. I build mine recently for the first time. It is not that difficult but you nned a spot welder. I made my custom one for the occasion from a microwave trasformer and an arduino I had at home. My suggestion is ho for it if you have the time to spend in learning and the money for a spot welder, otherwise you could either ask to one of the guy of the forum to build the Liion pack for you. I would suggest stick with Liion if possible, othersie LiPo it’s also fine, then the soldering skill needed are really basic and yes connecting a BMS will allow you to simple recharge them with a normal charger.
Good luck!
No, I have a imax b6 charger and I have to charge every battery separately.
I considering to buy a charging board to connect all 4 batteries and charging them in one time.
just write him an email. he response quite fast, but it probably won’t be 4mm connector.
Btw just a tip, since this build will go fast, try to do a split between the axles. Like 50° front and 44° rear, i did it on my board and stabilized my board at high speeds.
I recommend reading up on this thread, loads of good info about bushings ect.
Does anyone have some suggestions or ideas for a 10s4p 18650 Li-ion split enclosure? Would be great if it was made for the Vanguard. So far I’ve considered diy fiberglass, 3d printing and @Eboosted Vanguard enclosure.
, let me know
