This is the shopping List for my planned e-longboard build. I don’t have a Board yet but i probably going to buy a used one. I have added the cost at the end of the items they are in Swiss francs and are about the same as USD.
ESC
I have ordered this VESC, it seems to be as reliable as the maytech one and it is the cheapest i found
- FLIPSKY FSVESC V4 50A SK8-ESC w/ 5V/1.5A BEC for Electric Skateboard RC Car Z2J1 69.- (ebay)
First wanted to buy this one but missed the 4. July sale
- FLIPSKY FSESC 6.6 based upon VESC® 6 + Aluminum Case 145.- (flipsky.net)
Motor
Least expensive 63mm motor, not sure about the quality. It should be possible to run it at 12s.
- KEDA 63-64 190KV Brushless Outrunner 10S 2000W 52.- (hobbyking)
Same price as the one from ebay but the phase wires seem to be much thicker. The D-Shaft is not ideal because i dont know if the pulley will fit.
- 190KV SL D-shft: 190KV, sensorless, D-shape shaft 55.- (aliexpress)
Good price and kV but the phase wires are too small, i would have to replace them sooner or later. This Motor also has a D-Shaft, so im not sure if the pulley will fit.
- High-Efficience-Brushless-Motor-170KV-C6374-Electric-Skateboard-Longboard 54.- (ebay)
Cheap but not enough power, maybe good for a dual motor setup?
- New Arrival Brushless Outrunner Motor N5065 270KV 1665W For DIY Electric Skate Board 1820W 320KV 30.- (ebay)
Seems to be a good motor, but because its over 65.- i would have to pay high customs tax.
- turnigy-aerodrive-sk3-6374-192kv-brushless-outrunner-motor 80.- (hobbyking)
Board
Not decided yet, i will probably go for a used Board from ebay, they are cheap here 30.-
UPDATE: I got a Globe Spearpoint Bamboo, bought it second hand for 22.- (pictures)
Remote
I will not use that remote. There are a few threads on this forum about it and it seems to be very unreliable.
- 2.4GHz 2 Channels Wireless Fernbedienung Empfänger Für Elektrisches Skateboard 34.- (already ordered from ebay)
I did not hear anything bad about this remote, its not as small as the nano but should be more reliable. Its also very cheap.
- Radio 2.4GHz Remote Controller + Receiver Binding Plug For Electric Skateboard 16.- (ebay)
This one is even bigger but its the most reliable.
