Hello, i’m new in the world of electric skateboards.
I want to motorise my trampa mountainboard and have browsing this forum, youtube and several sites for a setup of my own to build.
Can you tell me if this is a good setup for me?
I weight about 84 kg and my board is about 7kg.
I live in Belgium, a flat country but i want to go offroad sometimes…
I have 14years experience on a skateboard and 10y on a snowboard, so am not a beginner on boards.
Also i need a charger for the batteries below in my list, wich is one recommeded?
Disclaimer: I am not an expert. These are just my suggestions:
Motor mount: Never heard of them before. Check out @Nowind , or @Idea for some quality options.
Motors seem good, although I think you could go a bit higher with KV.
Those VESCs will probably not be enough. Check out VESC 6 if you have a lot of money.
If you make a 10S battery with those, range will be short. Like 5km…
Remote looks ok, and XT90s are fine too.
@jbalint1122 Thanks for your possitive critisism
I found this electrical setup from somebody on youtube.
I can change this setup because i didn’t buy anything yet.
What do you suggest which is affordable like this setup?
E-mountainboards are not known for being affordable. @Idea has well priced motor mounts, and if you don’t care about slightly worse startup and braking, you can go with something like an Fvt 12S sleeping lion ESC. It has more power than a regular vesc, but it is less customizable. It is the same price though. As for batteries, you don’t have to go 10S if you want to same some money. Just buy two giant 4S packs. Like 10000mh.
Yeah i’ve Just found out about the motormounts of Idea. His set is less expensive then the parts that i found. Definitely going to buy those.
About the batteries: found these on hobbyking. Please take a look and tell me if they’re good or not.
Can you post a link about the sleeping Lion ESC’s?
you can try, but the general agreement is that lipos with a <20c ratting will sag and are not good for our purpose. Maybe with a huge 15c pack and small motors you might not notice…
@Cobber, i’m still researching what would be a good setup.
Didn’t plan anything yet.
The links i posted on all the parts are for me to calculate the total price of the build.
@tueboard, yesterday i found the thread of Idea’s motormounts and i’m loving those! They are cheaper and look more robust then the scramboards. Definitely going to change my plans untill i’m sure enough to finally start buying.
First up is the motormount from Idea.
What about this setup proposal?
2x Hobbywing 30105000 EZRUN MAX6-V3
2x Turnigy Aerodrive SK3 - 6374-192KV
4x ZIPPY Flightmax 5000mAh 4S1P 20C to make 8S2P
1x motormount set from Idea
Always a good Setup…
Hobbywing max6 never fails in so many builds from mine/friends/customers
Sk3 really good…
Around 1:5 gearing
Only batterys i would take maybe some nicer ones… forexample ZippyCompact 6200mah 40C
@Nowind I will look at some stronger batteries then. But how many and how do i need to link them(serie or parallel)?
@cobber yes, thanks for the feedback
@munkyheed i allready have a trampa board. i don’t find a kit from trampa without a board. i want to build my own setup instead of a bolt-on kit
So the first purchases have been done.
Maybe it’s a weird choice of parts i’ve started with.
But a start is a start, right?
First the smallest and maybe the most forgetable parts…
charger? Nope, which one do you suggesties?
power supply? No, stupid question: why do i need this?
soldering iron? Yes!
some safety gear? Yes, got helmet, crashpants, backprotector, kneepads and gloves.
Oh almost forgot, i need a program card for those max6, right? Does somebody suggest one?
