I suppose I could have it pre-built into the enclosure? All I would have to do is hook everything up when it arrives.

Yup @eBoosted will take good care of you in that aspect of battery building

23

Ooof, yeah. In that case I will probably go with two 6374’s then.

Do you have a soldering iron with you? You will probably have to do a bit when that time comes.

Here’s some miscellaneous stuff that you should purchase

Black 12AWG silicone wire
Red 12AWG silicone wire
XT90 connectors
Heat shrink for wires

Might cut it close on that 1500$ price range. If your willing to be flexible go for it !

34

Yeah cause that’s a 1000$ just in deck enclosure and battery

35

400 on just motors on a 1500 build that’s a big ask. I have 84’s on my current build so I am a fan. 84 is only 25% more torque but you have to scale up your battery and ESC. You can’t max out a 6354 with a makerx dual.

36

Do you have a protective gear budget? $300-500 for that atleast.

I can build my own battery and that battery will cost me nearly 600 to make. That’s more like a 2k+ build. It’s all primo stuff. No garbage in your choices.

When did I ever say to spend 400$ on motors :smile: @Movation

Sorry you didnt
I have a makerx running dual 6354s with 100 battery amps
I can max out my motors the ESC can’t push enough current. I have tested my new 6384 on this board and I have less power but when I swap out my ESC for my one of my fs 6.6 plus it’s a different story. 100 peak amps vs 200 peak amps. So going larger than 6354 on a vesc that can only push 50amps there is no point. This board will do 30+ miles/hour with makerx and 54s and on a 28" deck that’s fast enough.

Yeah honestly @Esk8t I’d look for two Used Focboxes or something similar
