Doomy's first E-Longboard | 1x 6364 190kV | DIY Geared Belt | 12s4p LiIo | Flipsky VESC 4.12

The ones @JLabs has are better than the average clone, better rebound and truer.

Okay :slight_smile: @doomy Then I would get the ones from BuildKitBoards

The BKB 6374 190kv Motor is solid as a rock, sealed can too. I have a set I’ve been running for over a year. https://buildkitboards.com/collections/motors/products/6374-190kv-motor

The TB 6374 190KV is also great, I have a set on my Bludgeon/6 Shooter build and another set on my Gear Drive build, no issues at all. collections/electric-skateboard-motors/products/electric-skateboard-motor-6374-190kv

The BKB 15t 15mm Motor Pulley is only $9, a lot cheaper than most places, 15t 15mm is the standard for a single motor build.
https://buildkitboards.com/collections/pulleys/products/15t-15mm-motor-pulley

Or you could get this TB pulley kit that has the motor & wheel pulley plus a belt. collections/electric-skateboard-pulley-belt-combo-kits/products/36t-kegel-pulley-15mm-combo-kit

The BKB motor mount is simple and it works well. https://buildkitboards.com/collections/motor-mounts/products/motor-mount-1

Here’s a link to the BKB wheels as well… https://buildkitboards.com/collections/wheels/products/90mm-build-wheels?variant=5041515102238

@doomy Don’t get the 36T KEGEL Pulley 15mm Combo Kit if you decide to get the wheel from BKB. Get the 36T ABEC Pulley 15mm Combo Kit instead (KEGEL pulley won’t fit in the wheels) :slight_smile:

Thank you mmaner and legend27. The prices on bkb are really good but im based in europe and shipping from the US is very expensive. Also for orders over 62$ value i have to pay a high import tax. This is why i mainly chose the stuff from china.

Check out this website http://esk8builds.com/shops/. They have listed all the esk8 shops in the whole world.

Are you going for a single build? I have one of those mounts I could sell.

Yes its going to be a single build, i dont have the board yet but there is an Auction for a Globe Spearpoint Bambo that finishes in 2 days. I will probably have to do a custom motormount because the trucks will not be compatible with the mounts they are selling online.

@legend27 Cool, thanks im definitly going to check out those shops.

Probably custom mounts then :slight_smile:

And wheel pulleys

I would stick to 8mm Motor shaft set up … also I find that 14/40 gearing is the sweet spot for decent braking and acceleration with a 190KV single on 12S … It will pull a 15/36 or 16/36 but it will take 300+ feet to stop from top speed

whats the problem with 10mm shafts other than the need for a 10mm bore pulley?

@moon yes if that does not i will get caliber ii trucks

@doomy my 3d printed wheel pulley only works for flywheels, not clones.

Thanks JohnA, do you know about any 3d print models in 46 - 50T that will fit 97mm clone wheels?

What about those: https://www.electric-skateboard.builders/t/abec-11-flywheels-clones-34-36-38-40-42-44-48-50-tooth-pulley-stl-files-for-9mm-12mm-and-15mm-belts/7642

I got my board yesterday, its a Globe Spearpoint Bambo. I tried to ride it down an incline, while picking up speed it started to wobble and i fell on my ass.

I’m looking for wheels now, not sure yet if vinyl or pneumatic.

Finished the motor mount and attached the wheel pulley. Sadly there was not enough space to leave the tracks drop trough…

Now im waiting for the belt. I’m also thinking about how to buld the case for the battery and esc.

I had to make some improvements on the board and the motor.

The motor mount was flexing and the belt started skipping so i welded a small triangle in place. It is better now but the belt still skips when braking hard so i will probably add a idler pulley next.

The second problem was that the motor started breaking unexpectedly, i first tought that it hits the mount or board somewhere becaus this happend only wheen steering in corners.

Then i realized that because of the movements the copper strands in the motor rubbed against each other and created a short.

I opend the motor, cut the bad copper strands and soldered silicone wire in place. I also fixed them with cable ties so this problem will not reproduce.

All in all i am not too happy with the quality of the KEDA 63-64 Motor, its still working but other than the cable problem, there is some wobble and i had some set screws come loose.

Mounted a big 13s6p battery, its crazy fast. Sadly the ground clearance is too low, its like a lowered sports car and speed bumps are the enemy.

I added more reinforcements to the mount because it was still flexing a little bit. Its rock solid now.

I managed to shred my first belt while driving over gravel. But whats even worse, the stones got into the motor and destroyed the windings :frowning:

Dang I have just finished my first build with this same motor! Will definitely watch out for gravel and maybe add a 3d printed cover… Looking good though, my 100mm boa wheels are ordered
