Just wanted to thank you for this wonderful forum and people on it with their valuable insight. It has helped me a lot and I just wanted to share with you my very first Longboard. I tried to stay low on budget w/ somehow good components. With limited cash & tools , I am happy with the result.
Here are specs:
213kv motor
2x 5s 5000mAh batteries in series
Turningy sk8-ESC
83mm wheels
cheap trucks from china
loop key w/ xt90 antispark
battery LCD display
2,4ghz remote from china
PS: I havent tested it yet properly, just few houndred meters around block, however already LOVING it!
It depends HEAVILY on how you ride it. I can kill a 5Ah battery in a few miles but I can also ride it for 8 miles (12.8km) if I’m easy on it, and still have juice left when I get home.
Hahaha but you can cross a sideway when we can’t !
b264 what’s for you the more economic ride type ?
I mean obviously without carving, pushing at stops (I do it anyway because unsensored motor and belt wealth) and all, but does it is better to have a smooth and i’d say a sustained acceleration when cruising or to accelerate then let the board in free wheels ?
Boys, just tested it today. Did 9km and was still sitting on 50% before shut off at 3.5v . My legs are still shaking . so much fun and so much torque and speed…( Why do people need dual drive? I nearly craped my pants with this single one ) did not have enough courage to go top speed, not even remotely . really enjoying it!
quick question, would normal deck made from veneers make a big difference in suspensing bumps on the road comparing to hard wood one of mine? I could feel quite a lot of bumps and holes on this deck. So maybe thats something that I could improve in future.

and use Loctite 243
I get like 12km out of a 12s1p 5Ah pack with belts.
