This will be my first electric longboard build so be nice . I have done some research for about a month now and I have already ordered all the parts that i need (I think ) . I wanted a build that would be quite easy to put together so i went with these parts.
Tbh I’m not really sure about what kind of speeds i want yet… I have been skating almost whole my life so I’m quite comfortable with speed. I might just test out these parts at first and then add/or replace the batteries later. The calculator gave me these speeds: Top Speed 17.09 mph / 27.50 kph, Weighted Top Speed 11.96 mph / 19.25 kph. So yeah these speeds seem kinda slow? I’m also quite a heavy guy (about 93kg)
Hmm, I don’t think I will be changing the motor as it’s already ordered… Would it be stupid to get another 3s to make it a 9s battery? I haven’t really seen 9s setups before…
Quick update: I got my remote from today. I orderd 2 more batteries from Hobbyking so i will go for 9S or 12S probably. The parts from Enertion haven’t been shipped yet even though they said they will probably ship them this week…
No clue, it came pre-assembled so i assumed it would be properly installed. I don’t have the tools at this location but I will get my hands on tools tomorrow. I have to check it then.
I second the key missing in the key way. Looks like both components are spinning freely individually of each other. The key is supposed to lock the pulley in place with the motor shaft so the two parts spin together.
