Hello! I’m also from Finland and I would like to know where you ordered your pulleys, bellt and the vesc from 
Really awesome build by the way! I’d be happy to achieve something even half as good looking!

Moi Jesper!
I ordered my pulleys from china and belts from my local supplier. I am also selling pulleys to Europe, so if you need one let me know:
I have also few htd5m 270mm 9mm belts if you need some.
My vesc is from esk8.de
Thank you for the compliment. Let me know if I can help you somehow!
Tervetuloa! Facebookissa on myös ryhmä electric longboarding finland, jos kiinnostaa joskus järjestellä miittejä tms.

Looks great!
Im a noob builder and want to build one exactly like yours as It looks soooo good and like the boosted board.
If I bought the deck and an enertion motor, wheels and trucks kit, What battery, esc or vesc, controller and charger would I need and all the wiring and connectors and stuff???
Im sorry to be a pain but this would really help!
If you just told me what you used that would be great
Thanks
Sounds good!
Yes you need some connectors like xt90s and xt60. Any kind of connectors will work but they have to handle the current that you are running through them.
Then the wiring. 10-12AWG wire will be best. I use standard 6s charger.
I recommend going with two lipos, 5s or 6s. Capacity is up to you depending range you want. Any controller which uses 2.4GHz frequency will work. I have found that wii controller is not reliable and when reading threads where people fall of their boards often the reason is unreliable controller, like wii nunchuck.
Also you need heat shrink and good soldering iron.
HTH!
For example the charger that I use is only capable of charging 6A. If you go with two 5Ah 5s lipos you can charge them safely at 10A when charging them in parallel.
But there is no harm done at charging batteries at lower current.
Little update to my charging system. I’m still charging my batteries in parallel and discharging them in series. I use little loop key to hook by batteries in series. When charging I take the key off and connect charger to that connector. Another charging connector goes to the main power cable.

I am confused about how you are switching from series to parallel?

That picture is the one of the pack not in the enclosure
is the only reason you are creating two packs is because of your charger limitation or is there something else?
Yes that is right.
10s chargers costs about 200euros so I am good with my 6s charger. I do not want to use BMS either because I don’t want that balancing capability on my longboard adding weight and taking space. I have that capability in my charger.
Heloo @Dunkirk, first of all, awesome build, I carefully read all the thread and learnt every detail, I was just wondering about the weight of your board, how much is it in total?
I see that having 30 LG HE2 batteries gives you 277.5Wh for 1,44kg (at 48g per cell), pretty good right?
I’m thinking of building maybe a 6s4p, that’d give me a max discharge rate of 80A right? And how do I determine what my motor will draw?
Thanks, see you!!
