It’s looking good! I love the CF vinyl wrap, are you planning to use any grip tape?

And I’m just wondering, are you in Australia?

Yeah I am in Aus, near Albury/ Wodonga area, you?

Thanks and I eventually do plan to add some grip tape but I haven’t decided yet if I will use clear grip or go for a hexagonal pattern

Sounds great! Yeah I’m in Aus too, Melbourne for me. I was just curious cause that plant saucer looks like one I saw at Bunnings :stuck_out_tongue: .

How did you go about sticking the vinyl down? Did it adhere well to the board or did you need to use some other sort of adhesive?

I highly recommend using wrapcut and 3M primer for any kind of vinyl. anywhere.

Lol it is the one from Bunnings. The vinyl stuck to the deck quite well by itself I just added a few drops of super glue around some of the edges. I did order some 3m 94 adhesive but I wrapped the deck before it arrived

You can try jb weld to keep the motor plate form coming loose but it would make it imposisble to take apart

Just out of curiosity, what’s the clearance on the motor mount? Looks pretty low?

Yeah your right it is very low to the ground, maybe 1" clearance. I wanted to move it up more but I am unable to due to one of the bolts not being able to slide back further. It’s kinda hard to explain what I mean but that was as high as I could get it. Also even if I could get it any higher I would only be able to by about 1cm and then it would hit the base plate.

@faithfulpuppy, yeah I could try that but I would also like to be able to get it back apart

This board is no longer, it has been taken apart and turned into two separate nicer builds. Links here

Do you think it’s necessary to use two keda motors or would one be good as well, I’m planning on making my first build and don’t want it to be too expensive

One is fine, get the 6364 version for only a few dollars more though

Do you mean these https://hobbyking.com/nl_nl/turnigy-aerodrive-sk3-6364-190kv-brushless-outrunner-motor.html?___store=nl_nl ?

Nah, they are Keda 190kv 6364 motors

I want to make a board with about 25 miles of range and a top speed of 20mph would this motor be able to do that with the right battery, and if so what kind of batteries would you recommend?

Yes, I have a board with this motor and I can easily do 40Km/h and I get about 15-20Km range depending on how I ride. You would need a bigger battery though maybe 10s4p, you would need to work it out

Does the 10s influence the range a lot, or could I also use 6s or 8s? Or would I then not be able to hit the 15/20mph

It all depends, range is based on Wh which is nominal voltage times Ah. For example my battery is 10s and 5Ah so 36x5= 180Wh and the general rule is about 10Wh per Km but that depends how fast you ride.

To work out the speed use this calculator

Does the nominal voltage depend on your speed?

Yep, the voltage, wheel size and gearing all effect your speed
