One clarification: you mention 20kph as the official speed limit, but what speed are you planning to ride other times? Also, do you have hills that you need to climb regularly?
I mean I use the thing in my main build and its great dont get me wrong but mine seems to thermal throttle within 1-2 minutes of running it at its top end, due to my agressive riding style and the pretty hilly nature of where I live. Im yet to fine tune the esc to the point where I dont end up thermal throttling but I will be sure to update you when I get to it. Currently just riding it as is.
Mostly around 30-35km/h as I don’t have that much experience with boards this will the max for a while and also until I can afford better safety gear.
There are some hills along the route, though I am not entirely sure about the angles.

I’m probably going to riding quite friendly for a while so might not strain the ESC as much, but that also depends on the hills. Where are you located? I am located in Sweden so the temperature average temperature isn’t that high which should help with thermal throttling.
Looking forwad to updates!
I’m located in Australia so I think you should be sweet if you are in Sweden tbh especially if you’re not riding too crazy. I also have the first produced makerx Dual esc which is hand soldered which may lead to more heat produced due to worse joints for all I know 
But the thing is really well built and honestly so bloody cheap

There might be a larger risk of condensation killing the electronics here instead, depending on season.
I’ve also looked at the Esk8Supply VESC, but as there are no tests and might not have some when I’m planning to order the VESC, it might not be an option.

your almost copying me but saving yourself over a grand!!! 
by far the best deck i have ever stood on and you got it from the best company in Europe for esk8 parts!!!
Personally i would go for maytech motors, they feel a lot lot nicer all round than any other motor i have tried or ridden

I have the luxury of living in the same city so I could just go and pick it up directly from the warehouse!
If I had the budget, it would most likely be almost the same parts, Bergmeisters are one of the things I’m planning on grabbing later down the road.

Do it!!
They will make your board sexy as hell!!! And i have to say no issues at all with them so far. 
If they could be cheaper would be the only thing but as they say…
If you want to date a supermodel dont take her to McDonalds…(actually i made that up but its true)
Probably won’t be until after summer next year though. The life of a student with only part-time work. At which point the wheels aren’t the only part I will be upgrading.
And who knows, maybe the supermodel is tired of luxury food and just wants some junk food.
The batteries arrived, 50 pcs of 30Q from Fogstar:
Now for them to sit and wait for another 2 months before I get the BMS and NESE modules…
I have also assembled the drive train and put it on the deck, after having to look for 1 1/2" screws as the ones that came with the kit were 1 1/4". Though might have to get a new set as I will need a thicker riser to avoid wheelbite.

And as a bonus, a picture of a couple that won’t be let out for a while:

Hey man, just saw this, do you still need an esc? If so, check out https://www.esk8supply.shop/product-page/esdualcontroller. It is perfectly fine for 12s 60A continueous, also remote included for £160 
I’ve been looking at it! But I am waiting until the reviews come in (which they’ll hopefully do before end of November) and make a decision then, for the price it’s a great deal.

Cool man, some people have received them already. You should start seeing reviews soon 
60a total or 60a per motor?
60a total, I run 20a battery each side and 60a for the motors each with no issues

Sadly not. Still sitting with a VESC dilemma. Was hoping to get on the Neobox train. But that ended like it did. So currently waiting to see how Stormcore and the future TB VESC is going to end up.

i was in the same situation re Neoboxes. I opted for the Maker X instead, which arrived today…only I ordered the wrong one so am back in your boat. waiting as i return item etc more drama smh
did you build the NESE? Ill be building an NESE too, though am a little daunted re the wiring side.
I’ve been lazying while watching the Neobox stuff. I’m still looking at different ways to change the NESE design to make it smaller. Though I’m most likely going to separate the VESC and mount it at the back in its own case to fit the NESE without issue.
