[WIKI] A beginner guide to DIY an ESK8

Project wowgo upgrade! |Stock wowgo | Paris v2 | Wowgo hub motors |6.4 Panasonic(I think)| Stock ESC

So I have been looking a lot into upgrading my wowgo2s. It is a great eskate but I want something with a bit more torque and hill climbing ability. I am going to be doing this all in little pieces. I was looking at getting a focbox unity right now and later switch to a belt drive system. Any thoughts? Would the focbox unity work with my stock set up and remote? Is there an esc that is better out there?

Thanks, very useful!:grinning:

OMG! 1 hour? If I were a beginner I’d kill myself.

Setting up a vesc should take more than 5 minutes.

This one is just perfect:

:point_up:t4: What he said This video is great in explaining how to use the vesc tool for beginners.

How do I get these

Use the search function here or google :wink:

Do you actually have 5in pnumstic wheels?

But we can make 5 inch in production if you want more 300pcs.:blush:

Hi. We now only have 8 inch in stock. Size is 200mmX50mm. Is it suitable for you?:blush:

No, many of us are looking for 5x2 onumatic wheels. If you can do a smaller MOQ and send ouy some samples to a couple of people to test we could probably do a group buy.

Hey all, I’m new to the forum and I need to post a question that I have about a VESC that I’m having a problem with. However, when I try to create a new post it doesn’t look like I have the privileges needed to create a post.

Do I need to be a member for a set amount of time before I can post a new topic?

I have gen 1 boosted board that needs a new battery but Boosted company says it will cost 400.00-500.00 USD to fix. Is it possible to put a gen 2 battery in if I mod the connection? Please email me back at jasonapotts@gmail

Thanks

Just get a used gen1 battery and you good to go. You can get them on eBay for cheap for sure

I have a question, so my board could reach top speed when I had 83 mm wheels but now that I put 110 mm wheels on it, it runs out of juice so quick but then 20 mins later can do the same thing. Is there anyway I can fix this discharge problem maybe add another battery?

This has made me buy a helmet right now
