Hello Fellow Eskaters,
Iām a total noob, my first Frankenstein consists of:
custom cut board A cheap duel motor ESC from ebay put in a meepo case Duel hub motors Maxfind battery Koolwheel charger
Itās all over the place I know, but is there any way to make this work? My main issue is trying to find a straight battery to charger w/out having to buy a battery case with a converter. Does such a thing exist? Am I missing something important?
well you first need to know how many cells you are going to use in series. Since you are using hubmotors you can calculate it with the topspeed you want because the speed is directly affected by the voltage since there is no transmission between everything (like a belt drive has)
so you are probably going to choose something like 10s (because of the hubs) so you will need a charger made for that cell counting (like 10s). well you are in luck now because if you choose a common cell counting (like 6s,10s,12s) there are custom made chargers for that you can find on almost every site like aliexpress or banggood
I hope this helped you
can i use a vesc 4.12 on this motor: https://hobbyking.com/nl_nl/turnigy-aerodrive-sk3-6364-245kv-brushless-outrunner-motor.html will the esc limit anything because it is a 70 amp motor and only a 50 amp esc btw im using 10s
Hi, I have questions about picking a motor. Which motor is better? This one :https://flipsky.net/collections/e-skateboard/products/flipsky-electric-skateboard-motor-r-6374-190kv-3250w?ref=mdmzmvq-huw4 or this one: collections/electric-skateboard-motors/products/electric-skateboard-motor-6374-190kv
Also what is the difference between them?
Thanks.
I can not figure out how to post a new thread; just finished with a mountain board build; & I would like to share it.
Hi im new in this word. i still try programming my vesc sk8 by tunrnigy but without success. im italian and then in my linguage havent a guide on this vesc. i have been download a lot of tools but in my pc (windows) its imposible use all thats tools. someone can help me please?
Hi Iām trying to pair up my skateboard with the remote but having a hard time and I donāt know what make it isā¦ can anyone helpā¦?
hi, just built my first esk8, and thatās my first problem. As you can see my duty has a very high āsensitivityā, how to make it similar to the top bar?
You are most likely currently in current control mode or torque control. If you want āRPMā control you need to switch to duty cycle control as control mode.
But when riding you will likely prefer current control 
trust me.
Thank you so much, I will try it. 
I just tried and it worked, thank you. But is there is a way how to do it on ācurrent no revenue with brakeā mode?
You are controlling the current or power, not the RPM or speed. With no load to drive, a tiny amount of power is all it takes to keep top-speed. Itās working perfectly in your video. Put that under a skate and it will act exactly as you want it to under load.

So i was reading in another thread, (and didnāt want to creat a new one) someone was talking about using two motors with different KV ratings, the lower KV motor for starting torque and the higher KV motor for top speed. My question is what if you used two different sized gears on 2 Motors with the same KV? Lets say a 13t and a 14t. Would that give greater starting torque and higher top speed? Or would that just put too much stress on the motors, VESC, and drivetrain?

You can do that but you will get torque steer unless you put 1 on the front and 1 in the back.

Question cause I canāt find the answers clearly on here. What cables do I need to connect the VESC to my phone app?
Also I bought two Vanda vescās one works perfectly the other turns on but I canāt get the motor to runā¦ What do I need to do because Iām connecting two vescās to one remote
I should have maybe just bought the dual
So Iām thinking of using a new Loaded Boards: https://i.loadedboards.com/136.htm deck to build my DIY. Anyone ever use any of their boards for a build? Any advice on what to keep in mind? Iām thinking of using thr icarus.
