As you can see it should be fairly simple for my first diy, with hubs motor and good enclosure i plan on making it pretty waterproof aswell, ill order the parts in a few days
cheapest esc similar to the mboards one was on ebay for only like 20$ less and i dont wanna take the chance with some sketchy seller, but i could use some deck recommandations that fit the enclosure
you still would be better off using all the meepo parts except for the battery.
For 40$ the VESC is a no brainer. I’ve been using the exact for the last 1 3/4 years on my Mountainboard.I even paid 99$ back in the day for them EACH.
if i bought a meepo i would still need new enclosure and flexy deck would snap my battery in half, also the handle cutout would be getting in the way of mounting the XL enclosure, heck is a 55cm long (22 inch) enclosure even able to fit under it?
I fail to see the appeal of hub motors, they aren’t repairable, you can’t change or upgrade anything, the quality is low, performance is bad.
You’d be far better off going with a single large motor like a 6380 in a single drive satellite configuration on the rear heelside wheel, like probably belt or chain.
im not a speed demon, i already have a pre built with dual 1200watts belts and while its a beast i hardly ever use the full power and besides on steep hills i cruise on medium/high mode, the reason i choose hub motors and pretty average ones is because i want to maximize the range and make a stealthy water resistant board, i know many people here dont like hubs but im satisfied with average top speed and acceleration and would rather focus on lighter weight and more range, besides i already have a powerful belt board which can fill the secondary role
