I’ll start with a disclaimer, you’re not going to find anything super creative in this build. Evo’s are being used commonly now, caliber trucks are as boring as they get, 30q’s and focboxes are the “standard”, 10s will just get the job done - and that’s pretty much what I was after. She’s going to be a rock solid, medium sized, reliable and comfortable board that I can turn to when I just want to ride.

Special thanks to @Eboosted Alan and @bigben Ben for all of the advice and help so far. This community is equal parts super helpful and ruthlessly brutal and that seems to work really well.
I’ve had a couple of production boards, I recently parted with an Evolve GTX which I owned for a month. Motor failed 7 minutes into my first ride and chucked me on to the street, remote failed several times after that was replaced.
I generally ride slow/medium pace and casually. I’m a 35 year old father of two tiny people and I’m doing this to get out and enjoy myself, meet likeminded people, feed my urge to tinker and make use of the amazing surroundings we live in here in the south of England.
Deck - Landyachtz Evo Falcon 36". I was eyeing up the 39" evo for months when I first got into all of this. When the 36" came to my attention it seemed perfect. I can just about mall grab it and carry it around, the deck area is perfect for my height at 5’9 and it just happens to look sexy af. Bought from @fottaz at eskating.eu
Trucks - 50/10 Caliber 2’s. I have a black set and a gold set, I’m still trying to decide whether or not I’m going to bling out or not. I now have a set of six shooters though and am torn between keeping the caliber 2’s or getting some TB 218’s so that I can use them (I’m assuming the six shooters wont fit on standard 10" caliber 2’s?).
Wheels - 107mm superflys with super reds from @DavidBanner and six shooters bought from @Papperlapp
Drivetrain - DIYE 12mm 15/40 kit. I’ll see how this goes.
Motors and mounts - 6355 190kV Sensored and Caliber 2 mount from @DavidBanner at Street Wing
Enclosure, 10s5p 30Q battery, Switch, focboxes, BMS and basically all electronics are coming from Alan @Eboosted - built and ready to go on. This was a lifesaver because I just don’t have space to pull all my tools out where we currently live. I am capable of doing this all myself but I know Alan will do a very professional job and he’s so damn quick and communicative!
I jumped on the Metr Pro order from @rpasichnyk - timing on this release was good for me!
Riptide KranK 90a Canons for the front and KranK 90a Canon / KranK 90a Chubby for the rear. Thank you for the advice thread @alphamail - While I was at it I got the Riptide custom esk8 riser, not sure if I can use it for this build but I thought I might as well get it to support the cause.
I’m in the process of buying all the little things like mounting inserts, screws, spacers, risers, tubing and so on.
Living in the UK has made this build incredibly costly, but I suppose that’s just life. I am about to start a second vanguard single motor build as well as a loaner for friends wanting to try it out. It means I can go on rides with them and they’ll likely be here within a week of riding it planning their own builds 
I’ll keep this updated as I go along for anyone thinking about starting out with a similar build.
