I have seen these used a bunch of times. They are rated for 58V which is important since the normal 32V automotive fuses wonât cut it at 12s.

Really it is your power system can provide more then your motor is rated for.
So you will never hit your peak battery wattage with only 46 motor ampsâŚ

Well that is good and reassuring to hear.
Im new to the whole esk8 scene and reading for most of that but I do have a couple of questions. This is my overview of my electronics.
- Im looking to build a skateboard around 16mph (25km). I live in The Netherlands so itâs almost all flat terrain. I dont see a reason for that speed to buy a VESC so im looking for a esc like https://hobbyking.com/en_us/hobbykingr-tm-x-car-beast-series-esc-1-8-scale-120a.html?___store=en_us or https://nl.aliexpress.com/item/Mini-afstandsbediening-enkele-motor-elektrische-longboard-skateboard-controller-ESC-Substituut-Voor-Elektrische-Skateboard-Longboard/32857633779.html
Does this look correct to you guys?
Hello,
I apologize if this isnt the right place to post this, but I searched the forum and all over youtube looking for an answer but I couldnt find anything. Hopefully someone here can help me, or direct me in a place that will help me out.
After watching Low Guidoâs Chop Shopâs youtube video I was inspired to copy him and learn about electronics and try out building a skateboard even though I have zero knowledge. I bought:
HobbyKingŽ ⢠X-Car Beast Series ESC 1:8 Scale 150A Turnigy Aerodrive SK3 - 5055-280KV Brushless Outrunner Motor Turnigy 5000mAh 3S 25C Lipo Pack W/XT-90 (x2) Hobbyking GT2E AFHDS 2A 2.4ghz 2 Channel Radio System W/ Receiver
I ended up soldering the two lipo batteries together in series, and connected them successfully to the X-Car ESC. When I end up powering up the ESC, I figure that I have synced the remote to the ESC because the motor does a small jolt and it is followed by several beeps. However when I try to throttle the remote, nothing happens. Am i missing something? Any reply would be appreciated thank you.
Im looking to Extend range and keep the same speed on my MotoTec Board, both motors are brushed 800w, belt driven, and the battery is 3, 12v 14ah Lead-Acid Batteries. I weight 190LBS and would average 10 miles with and average speed of 18-20mph on mostly flat ground, but switched between grass and concrete. and im looking to upgrade the battery to a 36v 28ah LifePo4
- Would that even work with my currect set up without swapping parts?
- If it did work how far could i expect to go and how fast?
let me know if you need more info, any help is appreciated.
A skateboard controller might be better than a car controller because you donât know how smooth the braking is on the car controller. If it was jerky it wouldnât affect the car too much but can throw you off a skateboard. Itâs important that it has really smooth transitions.
That´s a good kit to start with! You have to bind the remote to the receiver first, after that you have to calibrate the remote to the ESC. Both things are explained it detail with the papers which came with remote /ESC.
Good plan to upgrade the battery. First measure how much space you have available for the new battery. If the 36v 28ah LiFePo4 works out you have the same speed as before, but twice the range (14ah before - 28ah after)
Is there tutorial how to configure dual focbox split ppm? Thank you in advance for help 
Hi. Thank you for this place to ask Noob QuestionsâŚ
My question:
I want to have backup motors on hand for my Evolve GTX just in case they die I donât want to wait for them to be shipped.
I bought 3 of these below. I should have asked beforehand but didnât think of it. Will these by okay? Are they easily swappable? I know that they are 140kv when I think the GTX motors are 150kv? Is that a big deal? I understand maybe Iâll lose some torque but I only really ride on Fast mode anyway (not GT) in NYC and do not think Iâm even using the GTXâs 150kvâs full potential anyway.
Was this the right move?
Those will work you just will have to change out the contactors to standard bullet connectors. Also you will have to change out the sensor cable to the jst 2.0mm connector and solder the lines on.
Seriously?? Ugh. Someone on Facebook said they were Plug and Play. Great⌠I canât solder stuff. lol
Iâm not sure about plug and play I guess it depends on the vesc the GTX has and if it uses the plugs that are on the motor. Open up enclosure and check.
im having issues finding info on mounting a battery pack and dual focboxs to my deck. im using a enclosure from @psychotiller. it doesnt seem thick enough to have everything mounted inside of the enclosure like ive seen on longhairdboys builds. i have a 12s5p battery and my deck isnt really all that flat. ive thought about using a rubber mat and then using nylon straps ( like the kind found on backpacks) to secure it using screws but not sure if this is all that great of an idea.
For ABS you want to secure it to the board and just use the enclosure as a cover. You can secure everything to the deck by using industril velco or servo tape.

Could anyone give me a rough estimate on what kinda range i can expect on these batteryâs? Two Turnigy Graphene 6000mAh 4S 65C Lipo Packs wired in series. Board is a AT trampa setup but dont do much offroading (mainly for roads/pavements). Thanks
I donât think just connecting new motors without running motor detection is a good idea!

the question is how far do you want to go because you will only be getting 6000 mah still in order for that to increase you would need batteries in parallel. to make it a 8s2p
if i connected the 2 batteryâs in parallel it would make only a 4s though wouldnât it?
