Fine! You 2 can be best friends and Iāll just build all by myself down here 
For real though, dude is cool and we should all meet up in Columbus sometime.

Itās okay Mr. Venom, Iāll be your friend. But yeah that would be nice, considering I am yet to talk face to face with anyone who shares this hobby

I feel your pain. I had to fly to Colorado just to meet some of these internet eskate people I call āfriendsā
There is a local group of prebuilt riders here but itās not the same.

Iāve met many prebuilt riders here, but they donāt know anything about their boards so itās not much fun. The only fun part is destroying them in a race lol

For real. They were baffled that you could replace the battery with one not from boosted. Like boosted makes their own cells and locks their esc out from using any other battery.

This dude I was talking to was amazed that my board went over 20mph
@b264 here another take from today. Definitely will replace it. Still looks fine but canāt even go uphill or downhill for that matter.

Sounds like either your motor moved, your idler moved, your mount bent, or your belt is failing. One of them.
Any particular reason why? Whatās inherently bad about dual ESCās?
when one part on a dual goes badā¦ essentially you have two broken ESCs.

As much as thatās a convincing argument against duals, I canāt really find any 100A-capable single ESCs that donāt cost more than a dual on their ownā¦
Besides the aforementioned reason to not go dualā¦ there arenāt really any 100A per channel dual (v)escs. Pushing a dual flipsky 6.xx is asking for thermal throttling, and the potential early death of the (v)esc. Next closest is the Unity which I think is rated to 80 a side?
100A+ single channel options areā¦
200A FSESC
200A Maytech (v)esc
ā¦ Probably some others I missed that you cannot buy new, including the Focbox with accessory cooling
ā¦hopefully some other options in 2020

This is the esc I was looking at: link
Itās (purportedly) good to 100A per channel, costs $219.
If I were to go with 2 single ESCs, the best-priced option is a Maytech VESC which would run me $165 apiece. Are the benefits of single ESCās really worth the extra $100+? Thatās most of the cost of another ESC right off the batā¦
Gotta ship a mountain board across the states, what service to use? No battery, looks like $140 at the moment to ship it
Come on, someone has to know a better way
check with @klaus79856 I think he posted a bike shipper service a couple of times.
