My name is Ryan and I am a first time builder of an E Board. I am open to any suggestions or help and have a tough skin so feel free to be critical. The reason for the title of the build is that the first creation will be for my wife ( who is a dancer so at some point there will be a ballerina motif on the deck, helps to get the ok to fund projects… lol) I’ll use this board to learn the arts of the assembly and hopefully then move onto a second build for my own board.
So the setup so far is thus:
Deck is a BSA Blank Lunar Top mount ( 9" x 36") natural wood - But I will cover the top with Black grip tape.
motor is a 6355 Rspec Enertion 190Kv Motor
Running gear from Enertion - although Im still waiting on a motor pulley and a rear truck as the order was sent as a partial shipment, with little to no support from the team at Enertion after a week of chasing… I’m sure they’re just getting slammed and I’ll hear something soon.
VESC from Enertion
Battery is a 10S3P enclosed in the Enertion space cell ABS hard case.
Still deciding on one of two remotes, I have a nano remote from DIY electric skateboards, and a GT2B from hobby king, any advice on these would be appreciated.
Welcome to the community who has electric boards on their minds. I myself also am in middle of my first board. Maybe some experienced guys here can give you some advices.
How is that deck? I wanted one of their blank decks but the shape I wanted wasn’t stiff enough, does that bend a lot when you stand and bounce a little?
Ill have to get back to you on the bend -ishness of the board, waiting on the rear trucks so haven’t assembled it completely yet, I may have to steal trucks and wheels from my Sector 9 to test it…
Haha True that @tweakdout This one will help iron out the wrinkles. Although I have already started ordering the parts for my next build, found a sweet site that does custom grip tape. Mock up is the below…
So I placed my other trucks and wheels on the BSA from my Sector 9 to test the flex ( thanks @Tweakdout ) and must say I am a little concerned that there is too much flex with the Enertion space cell.
Anyone have any workarounds to create more stiffness?
