@AutoHax0r , gotta agree with @onloop its a very good deal. All my future boards are going to be using that system.

I’m back guys!

Would this battery be good for my e-board?

http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/_84150__MultiStar_LiHV_High_Capacity_6S_10000mAh_Multi_Rotor_Lipo_Pack_EU_Warehouse.html

I’m a bit concerned about the discharge rate, but since it’s so many milliamps, it may work?

I’m going with:

150A Car ESC 2400w Motor

Thanks!

10000 mah … 10c

I’d pass

I’d look for something at least 25c and higher

Split the pack to two 5000 mah or 6000mah What U have is a brick

I semi-agree with @Michaelinvegas, but I have used these batteries in a couple of boards without an issue. I think as long you don’t push it too hard you would be fine. If you plan on full throttle runs you’d definitely be better with a higher discharge.

Lol who wouldn’t push their board too hard?

Get a higher c rating so you don’t have to ride like a little girl (I have two little girls so I should know) lol

You are going 8s? What 150a Car ESC you using?

20

I’m actually not sure. Does Hobbyking have some good stuff?

21

The only 8s ESC’s on HobbyKing I would suggest would be the HobbyWing MAX6 or MAX5. I have had two of the Turnigy 8s car ESC’s and both had problems.

22

Actually, do you think 8s is worth it over 6s? Considering prices for ESC’s. Is there a big difference in speed?

23

I’d say punch in all your variables into this calculator: http://toddy616.blogspot.com/2013/07/electric-skateboard-calculator.html?m=1

I predominantly use 6s.

Update:

Got my 9mm pulley today. I tried attaching a photo with it, hope you guys can see it?

It does look quite thin, but I hope it’ll work out. Sort of regretting buying it this instead of 15mm.

Thoughts?

26

I weigh 100 kilo and use a 9mm on a single motor. Its fine.

27

'Bout to pull the trigger on an Alienpower motor, but what is a sensored motor?

Cheers

Does 12 miles on a 10s3p sounds about right? (thats what im getting)

Dual 6355 190 kv Dual VESC Kegal wheels 32 tooth wheel pulley 14 motor pulleys

Hi,

last week I had the honor to check out an dual motor esk8 and I was overwhelmed by the power and speed.

Because of limited budget I won’t be able to build such a rocket what I had under my feet last week, so my question is: Which motor would you recommend or are there any other motors not mentioned which will do perfectly well in a hilly area and need for around 35 km/h topspeed.

Thx in advance for every answer.

Regards

Chris
