Heyy guyss Ive always wanna build a budget electric skateboard and I wanna build aamini sized one, like a fiik mini. I’m planning on taking it to England next year but I am living in Hong Kong China right now. I do know the site taobao but I do want some advice on selecting components. Anyway nice to meet you guys
I don’t think you will want to go there next year after what happened today 
Hi my name is Moe I’m looking to build my first electric long board, I’ve done some research and have come up with the following parts for the electronics of the build (excluding transmitter, receiver and balance charger)
Motor: http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/uh_viewitem.asp?idproduct=18129
ESC http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/_32127__HobbyKing_174_8482_Brushless_Car_ESC_100A_w_Reverse_Upgrade_version_AU_Warehouse.html
Batteries X2 http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/__8583__ZIPPY_Flightmax_5000mAh_3S1P_25C.html
I believe these three parts are compatible with each other but my only concern is that the motors spec say “14TVoltage: 10~12S” after rewiring the two 3s batteries I will have 6s. Will this 6s be sufficient or will it not be compatible with this configuration? I would greatly appreciate any help with this.
Thanks!!!
Thanks for the link! Looks like if I use these parts ill be able to get the long board to a comfortable top speed . Would you happen to know if the 3 components listed above are compatible though?
Thank you, this is perfect

Hello eSk8 community! I’ve been sifting through this place for weeks helping to decide on my pre-built and get ideas for my DIY boards. Have at least 4 builds on the cards atm, mostly for other people. For myself, I’d like a DIY Raptor Dual AT and a Trampa. Can’t wait! Loving my Evolve Carbon AT, but knew before I ordered it wouldn’t tackle the hills in my area. Will get tonnes of use before I upgrade to my DIY.

Hello my name is Michael, i live in NZ, ive been wanting an eboard for a while now but stuck on what to do :-/ i have the perfect board for it (in my eyes) but when i add everything up that i want it would be cheaper to get an evolve bamboo series. I like the idea of adding to it later but after buying some great slim batteries motor mounts etc it would be around the same price and i dont think i could do as a good job as an evolve board so kind of stuck on what to do. Any suggestions would be great, was thinking of enertion battery and maybe go with a single motor for now.

Hi eBoarders,
Been lurking around this site for awhile, think it is time to say hello!
Welcome, My name is Darien, I’m 48 years old. I have 6 lovely children. The oldest is 24 and the youngest are 2, yes a set of twin boys. I got into eboards when I was looking for an alternate source of 
transportation while commuting. Came up with a wonderful idea. Helped solve my techie nature and transpotation issue as well as recreation. Couldn’t have found a better solution.
I’m a jack of all trades. I can pretty much do anything I put my mind to. My main career is 
barbering. I cut hair for a living. Love it to death. I’m also a video gamer, comic book lover, photographer, dj, build 
computers, carpenter, painter, chef cook, bake and BBQ. Also rollerskate quad wheels. Now I want to try a hand in e-board skating and building. Looks like a well stable community. Getting all my parts ready. Done a lot of research and I’m pretty much ready. Hope to talk to everyone soon. Are there any e-boarders who live or reside near the Dallas/Ft. Worth Metroplex. Would Love to hear from you and build a community e-boarders here.
