The name alone makes me hate it and anyone who rides it
Donât you ridicule the Dutch. Iâll have you banned for it.
Just kidding.
The faboard is awesome btw. Itâs the very first esk8 designed by a skater!

Its a decent product imo. You get very good wheels and a dual belt drive board for a decent price!
I recently built a board with DIYEBoard dual motor drive, my own enclosure and dual vesc. After some small adjustments, iâm actually quite happy. $158 for a pair of pre-built drives is very good! A similar price on BKB or Torqueboards would cost close to $480. Not as smooth, quiet as a self built setup but canât complain for the price.

On the topic of fab boards, am I the only one whoâs noticed that hub motor model has a rkp rear truck and a tkp front truck?

Going to keep the riptide until I buy al the parts to rebuild it. I donât have another board so I still want something to ride for the time being. probably changing the esc and battery on it.
Yeah it looks so bad⌠At first I really liked his videos but now he got his âown designedâ esk8, Iâm really laughing when he tells about his battery which is specially designed and blabla⌠Itâs just the fcking kit from diyesk8.

Not trying to defend his board at all but the front TKP and back RKP setup isnât bad. I believe some people on this forum run a front TKP with a back RKP. Its actually pretty nice for lower speeds as you can carve a lot better compared to dual RKP.

Not saying that itâs a bad idea to have a tkp up front and an rkp in the back but I find it weird that itâs like that on the hub motor version and the belt drive version (at least from the pictures on his site) has a rkp truck front and back

Yeah I think in his final version he will just use RKP trucks, this was just a quick prototype.
I donât think so because the pictures on his site for the hub motor version have the tkp truck on it. And if the version in the pictures wasnât the final version why would he bother doing a full on photo shoot for that prototype knowing he would have to do another one for the final product in the end?

Because he doesnât care. He also advertises his branded âuniqueâ eyycam with two different prices on the same page. YouTube video with a cheaper price still in the title.
well i jus found that may be Fab will have a small problem, because even on DIYeboards they say that the dual belt motor should be use with a 6s or 10s batt and if im not wrong the 7s wont be that good for those dual belt motors, or does he change the internal bat of the enclosure for a diferent one?
because if thats the case i would like to know the specs of that batt, becuase i see that having a 10s bat against 2 or 3 7s that i can swap on the go, could be better, but i dont want to buy the 7s kit and then feel like i was better with the 10s.
nice deck. what is it?
Donât get the 7s itâs shit. Buy the 10s5p or the 10s2p Sanyo/30q. Idk if diyeboard sells these but other Chinese board companies have them for reasonable prices

Right now im buying the parts to build a esk8 by myself, because âsearch functionâ, at the end i didnt found somethong that suit my tast and looking for one i saw that i could build for half the proce a master piece and not spend my money in a board that in 3 months would be in the trash or wasting more money to fix it, so, waiting for the pieces to put them together and have my own esk8 
Just parts that work was what I was talking about. Not builds although they will give you inspiration. Good quality components that wonât let you down after the first 3 months. Buy cheap buy twice.
well im stock with my build, i bought the trucks and wheels, caliber II with abec 11 (the same as riptide R1Elite), the battery will be a 10s5p with a esc (for the moment), but my problem itâs with the motors, dont know if i should buy the 5055 270kv 1400W or the 6354 180kv 2000W.
second choice for sure, the dual 180kv should pack enough punch and topspeed with 10s, especially in a dual config
just stay away from diyeboards though. theyre scammers and bad people
