The motor, VESC & battery pack will be fine together. What deck, trucks, wheels, enclosure are you using?
Im interested in hearing about how you are going to use an arduino as a controller. If you decide to go a more traditional route, check out the Benchweel Remote from MEB.
I’m using a 48in moose deck(7 ply I believe), 50 degree caliber trucks, and actually haven’t gotten an enclosure yet might just get a cheapo project box from the hardware store.
