Asking $1200. Prefer pickup, and willing to drive a little to facilitate a good transaction, but may also ship in US at buyer’s expense.
Hi everyone, new member here in Chicago, IL. I’m trying to sell a custom board I made and its charging system. I kept it for awhile as it has been one of my favorite pieces of engineering work in college but I regularly bike around now, so I think it’s time to part ways and give someone a decent deal on what I think is a good-quality build for a custom board. Roughly $2000 of material cost put into it.
- Charger Power Supply: MeanWell SE-1000-24
- Balance Charger: iCharger 3010B
- Batteries: 4x Turnigy nano-tech 5000mah 5S 25-50C LiPo (wired as 2 parallel pairs in series to create a 10S 10,000mah power source. The charger can balance charge the entire system at once.)
- Motors: 2x Turnigy Aerodrive SK3-6374-192kv
- ESC: Alien Power Systems 150A 2-12S Twin ESC
- Throttle Control: Wiiceiver (wireless Nintendo Wii Nunchuck controlled)
- Anti-spark Power Switch
- Motor Plates + Truck Mounts from Alien Drive Systems
- Trucks: Caliber II
- Wheels: 5" Skike (will include some spare tires and tubes)
- 15:44 motor-to-wheel gear ratio with HTD gears and belts
Some personal touches:
- Battery voltage % indicator
- White headlights and red taillights
- 3 position light switch (flip it one direction and get lights continuously on, flip it the other direction and get flashing lights)
- Adjust the flashing lights between 1Hz and 25Hz using an adjustable dial on a handmade timer circuit
- The board side of the batteries are attached with adhesive-backed velcro, then the entire board bottom is covered in Gorilla Tape. Ideally someone would put a hard case on the bottom, but the velcro+tape has held everything snugly together on city streets.
The ESC is currently programmed to keep max speed at 21-22 mph as that has been plenty fast enough for me. The buyer could reprogram it to full power and get it into mid-30’s I believe, if you really have the need for speed.
Let me know if you have any questions!

Hey man welcome to the forum. Nice first build. However the price is a little bit out of the realm of reason. 
Probably have a better chance of getting some of your money back by parting if out.

Thanks for the feedback Crisfell. I may have been a little out of touch with the market here. Just dropped price $200 here and some other places I’m posting the board 
Would you have a recommendation for the best place/forum/market to post complete builds for sale?

not much traffic here anymore.
Theres the more active DIY places like, esk8.news, freesk8 maybe. place but completes rarely sell there.
Facebook, Letgo, craigslist will be your best bet to sell complete. However, and not to knock your builidng skills, youll stand to make a lot closer to your asking price if you part out. Completes made in a garage rarely sell. I chop boards for people every now and then, (youre out of my range unfortunately) but I can help you through the process if you like. Dismantling the board is way less work than you think. Youll probably want to try and sell as a whole but inevitably these things get parted out.

- Deck $100
- Charger $150
- Batteries: $20
- Motors: $150 together
- ESC: $200
- Throttle Control: $20
- Anti-spark $20
- Mounts ( wicked cool btw) $150
- Trucks $50
- Wheels: $100
- pulleys $30
- extras (lights etx) $50
all in all, there is ~$900 worth of parts here.
realistically, I’d suggest parting it out since, in light of what can be bought with $1200 these days in the esk8 world, this build as complete is worth an asking price of $700 as a complete.

like a chop shop. a place that takes cars chops em into bits and sells all the parts.
so a chop board, is one to part out.

Lol parting out a board is so easy though… Takes like 20 minutes

You’d be surprised how many people want to just sell it as one piece. The usual reason is dealing with lots of small boxes. But it’s often enough to just order thosee usps Flatrate boxes.

No I totally agree. Hence why I suggested the same thing. And I’m the worst about derailing a thread. Kind of my forte…
