I didn’t believe it but I think the boosted manufacturer in China started selling the enclosures on Aliexpress
And no they don’t sell the enclosures without the motors/esc I already asked them

if these are even ‘real’ these are very likely to be the v2 batteries that were catching fire, just thrown into a combo deal to make it enticing.
Hard pass
E: it says 42v… I don’t think I remember a 42v boosted battery (lifepo4 =\= 42v, liion ER =\= 42v, The SR v1 battery was 45/46v if I remember correctly…)
i was also skeptical about the 42v situation, i was also not sure about how to connect the esc that has a xt60 with the boosted battery that has this weird dick shaped connector. I askedt them for a pic of the battery and of the way to connet the battery to the esc
Good point… Even better a reason to stay away from it.
I actually don’t even think that board will run even if you managed to wire it up. The BB BMS needs to talk with the BB ESC to function
As for v2/v3 being different, I can’t tell the voltage on a v3 board. No retailer online has good info on it. They all just say it outputs 100-240v @50-60hz… Which is the input…
Well that’s exactly it. They don’t want to sell it themselves. They want a technologically inexperienced person to buy one themselves. After it doesn’t work they’ll likely play the cat and mouse game of ‘oh we cant refund you and pay for shipping back, but you can pay for it being shipped back and then we’ll refund you’ (good luck getting that refund then )
Yea man it sucks, i mean if they already have the boosted batteries then they could sell them to the esk8 community and i bet they will benefit alot cuz tbh the boosted hardware is really high quality are highly sout after, but instead no they have to ruin it with shitty customer service and including shitty quality hubs/esc
Sometimes I just wonder how people wanna sell their stuff when they talk like this
Is another country Bro. The US is not the center of the Universe. For starters and for the same reason why don’t you (me, us) learn some chinese, right?
If you look at this, it’s clearly a boosted knock off. Boosted never made huh motors, ever.
And the enclosure does not say boosted on it.
This kit has been around for years in different forms. But the problem that exists with it is like most direct from China crap. It’s poorly engineer (purposely under engineered to be very cheap).And won’t last. I can’t tell you the 100 things they do to cheap out but I’ll just say you get what you pay for. If you use quality magnets and glues and wires, a good motor can’t be made at a factory level for less than $100 each, even in massive bulk.
But if you want rattling bearings, loose Magnets that jam your motor, shorts from trapped air pockets when they glued the motor wire that slam your brakes on and many more potential failure points, go for it. It’s Russian roulette with your life… and as you can tell, it annoys me that people keep selling dangerous products with no concern for their end users life.
