Thanks for sharing this, I cannot stress how valuable it is to me because I will try to swap every bit of electronics as well as battery inside of my bamboo GT. It was my first ever electric board enjoyed it a lot but it has poor quality battery and a Bms. Range dropped to 7km also sags from %100 to %50ish on hard acceleration, BMS is shot so I thought I might as well swap everything with better quality parts. Going to use 2 focboxes, Samsung 30Qs, custom made remote and supower 60A bms.
I couldnāt change the BMS on my board, it seems my bms is also shot and evolve wonāt sell me a BMS on its own, they request to have the board on their facilities to perform any repair service, of course shipping my board to USA or Australia from PerĆŗ is no option at all, nearly impossible.
On the other hand if you decide to use a different bms, you will loose the ability to change modes and could be stuck on Eco mode as the BMS is the one that controls the power delivery and speed
Yes thatās what Iām told about using a different BMS. That is the reason for changing vescs and the remote too. I may change the board, motors and drivetrain etc. in the future aswell but one step at a time thatās gonna be my first build. I wanna see how it goes, I hope I donāt blow anything up 
going to use precious information on this topic and the forum aswell. Thanks again for sharing.
sounds like you need to swap out all of the electronics.
Get an extra 20$ bestech bms is worth it
Iām afraid already ordered, gonna try to use this old heatsink salvaged from my old graphics card. I ll see how it goes

You need to publicly call-out Evolve on reddit and all social media channels for this. Their image is more important to them than even their boards and frankly, this is horse shit.
āEvolve wonāt sell me parts to fix my broken Evolveā
can you please elaborate the extension abit more as im at total loss about how to execute this whole process. for example what did you use with the fiberglass? epoxy resin, polyester resin or something else?
Heyā¦ Iām from India tooā¦ Do you ride electric skateboards?
So this is my evolve skateboard adapted Indian style. If anyone wonders why I did this, I couldnāt take the battery in the plane. Itās 3 12v batteries originally used in UPS devices. I get a bit less range but otherwise works fine.

see my last postā¦
Damn, those are some heavy ass lead acid batteries. Not a bad setup if its temporary, although putting the batteries in the middle might have been another option.
I had them in the middle at first and found that having them in the back made it a bit more comfortable. It is temporary, the nice part is those batteries cost me only around 50 usd.
Nice, thats a good setup. You could have also bought one of those hover-board batteries directly shipped from china to India. Would have cost you about same but equal to size of just one of those.
Awesomeā¦ I love the Giant Wheels 8" size(I think)ā¦ and where did you get the long Hanger trucks??
Also are you from MUMBAI?
These are My 2 skateboardsā¦
This is the Skateboardā¦ These are the pics of the Longboard
Longboard has a 40" deckā¦ and Skateboard has 31" deck with kicktails.

Hey Esk8jpn. Is your diagram correct? Shouldnāt the balance leads be reversed? #10 should be #1, right?
