Need help with getting my parts!

4.20V/Cell x 12 Cells, in Series gives me a max voltage of 50.4 Volts. Add 2-4 Cells in Parallel will increase Ah. I’m getting this right? Note: Lipo Cells are slim/flat, so I might be able to fit all this in a large pack. :thinking:

I can help you with ur bms once ur ready to wire it. Shoot me a PM and I can walk u through the process

I know I’m just saying why I don’t necessarily need a heatsink on my board. But let’s stay on topic

Thank, I defenitly will when time comes.

Ok take ur time and learn. This can be a very tedious process. Good luck

For science, yes

What do you mean science? Buy, test, post here?

Update: So after some more research and thought, I have further refined and zeroed in on how I want my E-Board to look like and perform. Here is my updated parts list and explanations:

Note: The board will be built around my weight, height, budget, and personal preference. I’ll take any constructive criticism happily.

I weigh ~145-150Ibs (66-68Kgs), 5’11" tall, male, currently 17.

Mechanical, non Electric:

  • Deck will be made of 3 x 3/16" Plywood w/ Fiberglass tape in-between layers. Bonded with Bondo Fiberglass Resin. The deck will be 10" wide and 42" long. I want stability.
  • The Trucks will be 2 x Caliber II (44 Deg.) and will be drop through. Nothing special. They got good reviews, are very common, and very cheap. They’re 10" wide axles, so overall width w/ wheels will be over 1’. This will also increase stability.
  • Wheels will be 4 x Cal 97mm wheels. They’re cheap, got good reviews, and large. I want higher speeds than acceleration.
  • The pulley setup is a bit iffy. I will go for a ratio of ~2-3. I don’t got any hills to go over around me, at least significant, so I’ll prefer speed. The motor gear, or input will be a 20T, 10mm bore. I can’t seem to find any reasonable priced and ‘good’ quality gear for the motors. They are expensive (~$100 for two sets) and that would be ~40-42T. Recommendations? 10mm belt(s).

Electrical:

  • I’ll be running a dual drive system. The motors a will be 2 x 6374’s. I was going to go with “Hobbysky” motors, but they are $80/Ea. Too much. I know going with unbranded Chinese motors is iffy, but spending ~$180 is too much.
  • I’ll go with two Focbox systems. They seem to be popular and good. Not to cheap, but reasonable.
  • A cheap, ~$30 Tx/Rx. Nothing special.
  • I’ve updated my battery system as well. I want to go with Zop 5200mah 50C 3S Li-Po’s. They get good reviews on eBay and Bangood. I’ll buy them from eBay. The seller is selling 4 of them for only $100! That’s awesome! I will be running 12S4P, so 11.1V (3S) x 4 cells = 44V. Than i’ll add 3-4 more in Parallel to increase capacity.
  • I’ll bypass BMS, but will charge w/ BMS.
  • The charger will be a Power Supply rated for 60V @ 5A.

So, that’s about it for now. Any corrections, recommendations, etc are welcome. Here is the parts list with links on Google Sheets. Total price right now is around ~$800.

You need a remote

" A cheap Tx/Rx…" Tx= Remote. Rx= Receiver.

power supply for 12s should be 50.4v

Forgot to mention, you can change the Voltage and Amperage. 60V is max.

can you post a link where u are getting it from

It is in the parts list Google Sheet slink, but her it is:

im just gonna check and make sure its cc-cv charging

you cant get this one because it doesnt have cc-cv charging and your battery will be all out of wack if theres not cc-cv charging

I didn’t even know that. Thank you. I have a charger that i charge my lipos with but it would just take to long to charge each battery individually. Any recommendations on chargers?

look at diyelectricskateboards.com chargers for 12s. it should be there
