So I’ve been lurking here for around 6 months and am finally going to get a build started over winter ready for next year (and hopefully a bit of sun!). I don’t have the biggest budget so will be sticking with single motor for now. Deck is to be decided, possibly will be making my own as I have a friend who is a decent woodworker. I have a 10s4p 25r pack with charge only BMS waiting to be built.
This is what I am thinking of so far (Updated with what I have!)
Really? That’s a shame. The pavements etc around where I live are not the smoothest hence me wanting a bigger wheel. Suppose I could do the flywheel thing but they are rather expensive
If you want rough stuff wheels then try the mbs option. As far as I know that and slick is it for semi urethane. Could go trampa gummies but shit pricey as
As for motors I like to build in some space. Go for something that rates higher than 10s and it’s not going to be running at its max the whole time. Sk3 work if you’re on a budget. Sk8 if you want sensored. The VESC is cool. I have 4. Seem to be strong so far. There are better products out there but I haven’t had any issues with them yet so for the money all good.
Make sure you post the pictures. We love pictures.
I should have a hummie deck on the way with a single stack enclosure. Got a Sk3 motor coming also and have almost decided to go dual motor from the off so will probably end up getting another.
I’m still totally stuck on what wheels to get though, i’m running so many ideas round in my head right now I’m confusing myself. I don’t need atb type wheels however the roads/pavements around where I live are not the best. I’m open to suggestions that will run on caliber 2 trucks (these are bought).
Don’t forget to have slightly flexible battery for the hummie deck.
I have a used set of mbs wheels if you’re in a budget.
Not bad for a large wheel. Abecs are king or pneumatics even better.
@bigben any good places to grab a set of pneumatics for the hummie deck? I am waiting on my own to get shipped, but pneumatics looks on your instagram pics
I’m not sure on the pneumatic thing if I’m honest, quite pricey for decent ones plus I’m not sure I like the look. Those boa’s look the part - anyone actually ridden on them?
theres a thread somewhere where alot of high rep riders (@b264, @longhairedboy, etc) who have ridden them / are riding them and the general answer is that theyre quality and have outstanding grip
