It is about damn time. I have consumed about a 1000 articles, builds and youtube videos and I am about ready to put one together myself. This board totals right around $830. The goal is to be able to get me to and from the train that takes me to work. Beats getting another car payment. (Pictures will be coming soon)
Please feel free to add any opinion, suggestion, shaming or anything else you might think of.
@ARetardedPillow - I was thinking about doing the spraypainted sandwich container from Target for the enclosure. Probably wont buy it until I have all the parts and know what I need to try and fit in with.
I am thinking about trying to create the XT90 Y connectors myself instead of ordering them from China. Probably need to think through it a bit more though.
@Sampreston I have a Loop Key Set which I haven’t listed yet but it uses 4mm HXT battery connectors not XT90. Might interest you as you won’t need to buy any soldering irons, wires, etc.
Hey Sam, seems like you did your research! Good job! I always love it when people read for a few days before posting a build thread
Speaking of that, I have some flywheel “clones” for sale, but they aren’t like all of the other available. The reviews they have are great and people say they ride almost as good as genuine flywheels.
I also have some other parts available if you are interested. Let me know if you have any questions!
haha - I am trying to balance keeping the cost down, but also want to put the best items on the board. It is hard to think through that the more expensive option is actually the more cost-effective option.
