Cheapest way to get a 20 mile range battery

It would be 12s2p I believe, not 4p.

oof bringing it down to 12s2p brings it down to 12 mile range ahaha fuck

Those are the packs I was thinking of. Looks like you gotta find something else though as they are OOS.
Here’s what your calc should look like for 4x of those in 12S2P.

Idk what motors you’re running, but at 270kv and 12S, your torque is going to suffer, and therefore your mileage bc your motors are least efficient at their slowest. 10S might be better if you aren’t looking to change up the motors (or actually want to go 40mph… eventually)

I think 10s is perfectly fine for a urethane board and someone who isn’t a speed freak. I’m hitting top speed of mid 30 mph on both my 10s pneumatic builds.

also note that your erpm is almost 84k, the mcu of the esc likely won’t be able to keep up past 60k, or about a 10s pack

So don’t get them? 24 mile range is pretty enticing for sub $200 haha

Not at all sure what this means

Certainly not a speed demon but I do like having the ability to go fast. Makes me feel cool. I also like telling people “it’s like a boosted board, but faster” they have no clue what I’m taking about haha. With my current setup I havnt been able to take this thing out of low mode. It’s low mode is faster than my old boards fast mode so there’s that. If I can hit 30 ish mph I’m pretty happy. Torque isn’t crazy on this thing but it’s super manageable. I don’t like my head getting thrashed back as I’m accelerating past people ahaha

Electric RPM = mechanical RPM * motor pole pairs

If certainly do some reading on this area so you don’t end up back here asking “why did my esc cut out randomly at top speed and throw me on my face?”

This sounds like the fastest way to accidentally nuke your home. With real fire.

Maybe ask @Andy87 about using XT90S loopkeys near other not-loopkey XT90

I’m good thanks for your concern, it’s impossible to plug two male XT90 plugs together…
it’s almost kook-proof
