I’d also change the thread name to relate more to your build.
“using 12s batteries” doesn’t really say much. maybe just mention what esc’s, motors, battery, deck, and that solar charger of course!
Pictures ? Its just solar panels hook up to two car batteries with a auto shut off for when the batteries are fully charged. When I charge my board I’m charging off the car batteries that are kept charged by the solar panels. Its an old system I use to use for my rc plane batteries.
still want to see it. i have no experience with solar panels and also want to know the cost
Google rc solar charging station then. Sorry I’m not posting pictures of it cuz its ugly and this is way off topic.
Hey does any one know of an ESC for rc cars that can handle 12s ?
Torqueboard’s esc, or a vesc. Those are your two main options
I don’t mind if they are ugly and it’s not really “off topic” because it has to do with batteries. If you still don’t want to that’s fine but I think a few people would appreciate you showing us some pics.
true, but that would be like naming my build thread “eboard” because it is an eboard…
“using 12s batterys” as a title just implies the thread is all about batteries, when infact, it is more like a build thread: so far it has been more than just batteries.
Yeah. I still think the idea is great and I’d love to see some pics thats all.
I road the board all day and some the day before and only used up 16,000ma of the 40,000ma. I think its safe to say I could get away with only using one of these batteries and still have 4,000ma left to go before I had to charge it back up.
my charger just hooks up to + and - sorry its so ugly and crude i was in a hurry when I built it. Most of the parts were donated to me. The sun charges up these two batteries and two more underneath that are used to charge up the skateboard and my model airplanes and rc cars drones rc helicopters ect.

I wish i had room for something like that. So how many miles do you think you could get? Those batteries look huge.
The batteries on the board have a total of 40,000ma. So about 80 miles range. Feels like about 24mph. The best part is the solar charger. Free energy !
wow. that is sick. you could go out of town on that thing haha
Ya to mexico and back lol. Like I said I road it all day morning to night and only used up 16,000ma. That’s not even half the tank. I’m saving so much money getting to work now. 
its paying for its self. Its 30 mile to my job and back and I look forward to the ride home at the end of the day. Well as long as its not raining lol.

my work is 11 miles. so space cell should do the trick for me i think.
I want to set it up at with 8s batteries and only 16,000 to 20,000mah to make the board a little faster and a lot lighter. I’m thinking of installing a carry handle too. I think 4 10,000ma 4s lipo’s two sets in parallel then in series to make a 20,000ma 8s.
What motors are you using ? Pic’s? with the space cell you should be able to go 26 to 28 mph and a range of about 24 miles max. I was shock at how quick it excerated on 12s or even on 6 it was still fast and I’m not talking top speed here. This thing is a dragster.
i am still waiting on my 2 vesc’s to come and my dual carvon hub motors. i got everything else so far that i think i will need. my first build. been messing with stuff and i got lots of pics on my build thread if u want to check that out. but i can’t finish till the rest of my things come in.
I just downloaded a mph app on my phone to see how fast I can go on this board.
