Don’t forget an enclosure 
1 Like
Hey, I do have Jet Potato 33 (similar to Jet Spud 29, but a bit longer) for sale with ABS enclosure. I would include the rubber bumpers and antispark xt90 key. These are not recent photos (can take some photos later), but it’s in a good shape (battery in this board died quite soon after and then I got whole another board). Just griptape is a bit dirty and there may be some left over from double sided tape where battery was attached. Not sure what to ask for price, but let me know if you are interested. I’m located in europe.

i read ur reply and appreciate the recommendations for enclosures. i totally missed your questions at the end though. saw them now. my goals or my reason for wanting to build it is mainly to use as a board to get me to and from school or to get to and from the busstops. im not in need for alot of speed but i still want it to be able to go a bit faster than im comfortable with at the moment just for future-proofing (dont want to get bored of it because its slow / dont wana have to push it to its limits just for commuting). the more range the better ofcourse but atleast like 20km or something? im not sure whats reasonable for a board like this. i feel like range is not that important but still feel like i want to use all the space in the enclosure im getting which is still to be decided. and to start of i think im not even going to be able to ride at 40km/h at all so that might be a bit too much when it comes to speed. wont be riding it on long straight roads, will be more cityroads with turns and stuff.

Cool! A 12s3p with P42A or similar cells will 100% get you 20km of range, probably more like 30km.
Are you interested more in crazy torque to get you up hills, or a lightweight, reliable (less moving parts) board? Option 1 means belt drive or gear drive, option 2 means hub motors or direct drive. If you have good roads, hubs FTW.
If you’re on a tight budget, you might be stuck with single drive, in which case a belt drive or gear drive will be needed for good torque. That being said, I really like my single hub-motor board. Need to push with my feet to start / stop, but the cruising and freeroll are fantastic.
I’ll post a build thread of it tomorrow, putting finishing touches on it this evening
Edit: done – Small board | Loaded Coyote | 12s1p | single hub

are there any good hub-motors out there? haha. from my research ive come to the conclusion that belt drive is the better way to go. but dont have any experience with either of them and you seem pretty satisfied with your hub motor build. im not in need for alot of torque either and my plan has been to go with a single belt drive motor, 6374 or something similar. dual 6355 could also be considered but feel like i would be more than happy with just a single 6367. but as i said i have no prior experience and am totally just going of what i have heard and read on the internet.
I opted for the expensive route and got a Loaded hub motor 
(I wanted something I could put on any truck, and swap the urethane when it eventually wears down. So far looks good as new, and I definitely abuse it)
Single 6374 is definitely enough power for an average esk8. Never need to push, goes fast. Hub motors are very tame in comparison.

It depends on what you are after. I have a omakase with the unlimited kit for short trips. It’s a single hub with 10s1p. Works great for it’s porpouse and it’s like riding an analog board. Also Swede by the way.

yea okay. ive also thought about going with a single 6355 to start off with to later upgrade to dual 6355 but not sure how well a single 6355 would perform
i dont think the unlimited kit is anything for me since i enjoy building and upgrading my own stuff. i most often prefer to take the longer but more educational way to do stuff than to allways go for the easy route.
Brakes above 35kmh are not going to be safe on a single 6355, I suggest either dual 6355 for plenty of braking and accelerating power or a single 6374 so you only have to swap a hangar for dual 6374s.
edit: you can also buy the hub motors on their own, you don’t need to purchase the battery and ESC along the hub motors unless you’re just not interested in hub motors which is also fair.

Ooh yea buying hub motors on their own would be nice. Hmm im trying to get as much value for my money as i can. Would you suggest single 6374 or single hub? I guess i could just buy a new hub in the future if i want more power aswell.
I have a brand new jet potato 29 inch deck I’m willing to let go

I will most likely get the jet potato 29 deck posted above, already messaged the guy and dont wana turn it down now. But thank u anyways! Hmm is there a way for me to close the thread? I might create a new one for other parts i need

Since you might end up answering the same questions I think keeping all your parts searching in 1 thread would be best.
Single 6374 if you want the full DIY esk8 experience and a 1st board that will blow your socks off 
Single hub if you value silence, simplicity, practicality. And don’t have hills to climb.

Allright so ive most likely got my hands on a deck and thought i could update this thread with what i still need.
Drivetrain:
- trucks (caliber II)
- motormounts (63xx)
- motors (preferably a single 6374 or dual 6354)
- pulleys and belts.
- maybe wheels aswell
Other stuff:
- a vesc (either single or dual)
- remote ( if i cant get a really cheap one here ill most likely buy a new hoyt puck)
I feel like i want to ask here first before i go out and buy everything i need online. So if you have anything you want to get rid of that could fit my first build feel free to reply here or message me.
