Hi! Just wanted to share my newest build. I’m upgrading my current board to a dual, so I had some parts left over from that. I really wanted a compact board I could carry with me home on the weekends, so that’s why it’s a small 22" deck.

My parts: Motor: Turnigy SK3 168kv ESC: esk8.de VESC Battery: 10s (2x 5s) Turnigy LiPo 5Ah Motor mount: Enertion Mount Gearing: 15/36T 12mm belt Wheels: Black flywheel clones Trucks: Painted Enertion trucks Remote: Winning remote (still waiting for dat Nano-X doe) Deck: Generic mini-longboard style deck Enclosure: @Dunkirk ABS enclosure

Since most of the parts is from my old build (The iBoard) the building process was fairly easy.

Stuff I need to do: * Add grip tape

  • Smart charging solution * Cutout for button

It’s so tiny!!! Nice build man! This could be the ultimate e board for kids :laughing:

#3

Yea! I really like the size. My Vanguard 38" is still a lot more comfortable to ride though, but this is just so damn easy to carry!

#4

The deck is so cute :heart_eyes: Have you ridden it yet?

#5

Yeah, took it out for a spin earlier today. Feels great! My 38" Vanguard is softer and smoother to ride though. But this is just perfect for small commutes! :smiley:

Now I only need a solution for charging with loop-key of some sort… I already have a balance charger, just not capable of 10S…

Looks really cool! :sunglasses: How is the stability at high speed? What bushings you running?

#13

It’s quite good, even when the trucks aren’t tightened very much. Since the trucks are the standard Enertion caliber clones, it’s also the stock bushings. They’re quite noisy though, so I might change them soon.

Love your build dude :grin:
