The “MBS all-terrain flywheels” seem super small tho, only 100mm, and big wheels are kind of like the focus of this build ._.
Take a look at this build:
Only input I can make is that to avoid Aquaplaning on urethane wheels, you can try using a lathe to modify some flywheels so that they’re safer to use in wet conditions.
And zealous bearings for your best bet against rusty bearings
Something like this

Sorry for not replying earlier @anorak234 , @Michaelinvegas & @Luke
The reason for doing that is that I had reached the maximum number of replies a new user can create on their first day.
Anyways, I have been doing a ton of research in the meantime and have come up with some sort of a parts list, no idea if the final price is accurate or not since I could not find the 99€ vescs and stuff, but I think it’s pretty close. So here goes…
1x Deck+Normal Trucks (2nd hand, drop through/down) = ~50€ 2x Vesc (@anorak234 said 99$ to 149$ per-unit) =~200€ 2x Motor (Turnigy Aerodrive SK3-6374-149kv = 167€ + (15€) Shipping 2x Battery (5000mAh 5S 25C Lipo) = 84€ + (^=0) 1x Controller (GT2B controller) = 22€ + (^=0) 4x Wheels, 8x Bearings (Trampa 8" Hypa wheels) = 120€ + 10€ Shipping Misc (Gears, motor mount, belt/chain) = ???
--------------- Total without shipping = 643€ --------------- Total with shipping =~ 668€ ^Not including Misc parts, guesstimating ~100€
------------ -------------Total Total = ~ 768€ But if the Trampa 8" Hypa wheels don’t work with normal trucks, then I will have to buy Trampa trucks aswell, or choose different wheels. So… 2x Trucks (Trampa Infinity Carve) = 140€ + (would ship with the Trampa wheels… So shipping included)
--------------- Total with Trampa trucks= 908€
Edit: I can try to stretch the budget out a little bit… But the closer to the original budget = the better. I don’t want to compromise on quality tho, no point in buying crap parts and having them break a week later.
Wow! Nice step up, I love the list. All reliable parts from what I’ve seen, and that motor is going to give you an incredible amount of torque. Keep in mind if you go dual drive it may be a good idea to go dual diagonal, there’s a couple of threads that can compare benefits of that. Drop through/down will be interesting as far as electronics go, but if the hypa wheels work out then it shouldn’t be a problem. Also, since you’re planning for this to be more mountainboard style then you may want to consider adding bindings and mounting the electronics on top of the board. Great job with research!
^Not including Misc parts, guesstimating ~100€
Realitly this will be 500$ or something like that, unless you make everything yourself.
A few gears and a metal slab to put a motor on and a chain/belt to connect them = 500€ ? That doesn’t seem right… Or then the prebuilt parts are just stupid expensive.
if you want cnc made custom mounts … if you make it yourself it’s just some aluminium and man hours ofcourse
Maybe it’s a little bit too much but still 100 dollars seems way to low. Or maybe I buy expensive stuff …
You seem intent on wanting a ferrari for the price of a fiat. That’s not the way to do it. You’ll end up spending more in the long run or end up with an unreliable/dangerous board… but that’s your choice.
Just take everyone’s advice that it’s a lot more expensive than you think but and you should budget for that… but you’ll find out soon enough once you start putting everything together.
I’m pretty sure I could copy something from here, people are making motor mounts for <20€ and yet they seem to be holding up pretty well. I have no problems with spending time on a project like this, but there is not much room for error, if I break something I might very well not have the money for a replacement, that is why I have yet to buy the parts and want to make sure that everything seems perfect on paper.
Edit: Whoops, forgot to add the link to the thread I was referring to. http://www.electric-skateboard.builders/t/making-a-motor-mount/2876/64
I really do not understand why you would be saying that the board will end up being unreliable/dangerous 
.
I tried to select reliable parts, that should last me a very long time, for example I could get cheaper wheels but I know that the hypa wheels wont break on me nearly as easily, so I am willing to spend more on them. But please do tell me if there is something I should improve on, I am trying to make the most out of my money.
And if this is about the motor mount, then I suggest you check out the thread I linked, the motor mounts those people are using seem to be holding up pretty well. Then again I am new to all of this so I could be wrong, I am open to constructive criticism 
I will also need a charger, completely forgot about that. Would this charger work and is it a good choise for my batteries? http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/__58285__IMAX_B6AC_V2_Professional_Balance_Charger_Discharger.html Edit: I also need a way to turn the board on/off, suggestions?
I have yet to decide weather I will be adding bindings or not, if I have enough room underneath the board I will mount the electronics there first, and try using the board without bindings, and if I feel like I need to use bindings I will then add them and put the electronics in between them.
Charger is fine, I’m using the same one. For the switch you could buy one, or just disconnect your batteries at night (which might interfere with the enclosure. Switch
Alright thanks, ordered the charger. I guess I will just have to disconnect my batteries, since the switch seems to be quite pricey 
Please don’t forget to add protective gears to your list.
Here’s a thread you should check out! Ha!
If you were just looking to build a standard electric board, you can keep the budget under control. Once you start wanting a more specialized setup, the cost goes up exponentially. For example, you want a board that you can ride in extreme cold, but still have a good range. Once temps drop, your battery life tanks. So you either need a bigger battery, or someway to keep it warm in the winter. Perhaps an insulated cover for you enclosure that would also be water tight. Throwing water, snow, or mud into the equation means you will also need to housing for your motors, gears, and a way to keep your bearings dry. I’d also recommend a carbon fiber deck since wood decks and water don’t mix so well. You get the picture.
All the odds and ends such as extra belts, bearings, switches, foam padding, velcro… they all add up, but shouldn’t be much more than $200USD. It’s really the wet and cold weather related items that are going to blow your budget.
@DilatedPupils
Yeah, I am new to this electric stuff but not to boarding in general. I wish I could make something with just 2 wheels to get a board with the same feel as a snowboard . But yeah, I already got a good set of protective gear, might get a fullface helmet but I’m not sure if that’s necessary.
Building something similar to a boosted board isn’t even that expensive, but building when building something like this it changes. I totally agree with you.
2 wheels? Try 6. These guys made the ultimate sliding board
