Hello guys, my name is Agustín. I’m 22 years old and I live in Buenos Aires, Argentina. I was looking to build my very first electric longboard but I have some questions. I’m not very good with this sort of creative stuff, and in my country its very hard to find the required equipment to build one. I was thinking to buy the 3 items from Carvon Skates, anyone has some experience with them? What else do I need apart from the batteries? Which batteries would be nice for this setup? I’ll be staying in the US for 15 days in May, so I need to buy everything then. I already have a board to build it, I wish to spend 600U$S or less including the listed items down below or similar items that you can recommend.
That’s a good set up
For that ESC you will need a ubec in order to power the receiver.
Since you are going to be in the USA for a limited time order in advance to avoid any delay.
P.S
Torqueboard remote is the same but he charges less for it
Edit: I can’t go over 650U$S (I dont need a board). And I need to be able to carry the components in the plane with me, I understand that the batteries can’t be over 99WH.
the batteries will be very difficult to get by security
about the 600.00 you need to be flexible, do you have a charger ? or a power supply ? this are other spences
seems like everyone loves Carveon hubs… I’d buy a pair to try them out if it didnt cost so damn much.
Like @cmatson said if you want to save money, use a single drive satellite motor system. I got a bunch of basically brand new stuff for that. if you want.
Two of those in series will give you about 97 watt hours. Yes i just went through hobby king’s listings and did a bunch of math, but it was kind of interesting to see what i could grab for a target watt hour range.
yeah these would be fine in series. And as far as charging goes, you can either go with a single 6S charger and charge them separately one at a time, or go with a dual 6S charger and charge them separately at the same time.
Another option would be to tear both packs down and make a proper 8S pack out of the pouches and use an 8S charger. Not sure if its worth the effort, but the extra work would allow you to use a single charge port and just plug the charger into the board instead of having to unplug packs. But since you’re on a budget you might be doing the sandwich box thing which would make taking the packs out a lot easier.
True, since taking it on a plane is no longer an option, having to stay under 99WH isn’t necessary. May as well crank it up a bit for only a few more bucks if the ESC can handle it.
