I am SO sorry for JUST seeing this. So much of the parts suggested are the worst source to get them, good parts, but just ridiculous mark up on them.
First of all, let’s talk about that Eboosted Shop’s 12s4p battery pack. Their enclosures are fairly priced since the alternative would be carbon fibre/fibreglass your own enclosure, which would be some extra hassle and you probably don’t want that. But that battery pack, oh man. You do NOT pay 760 bucks for a 48 cell pack that has a charge only bms, when the cells are 4 bucks each. This pack is merely 300 bucks if you DIY, and shouldn’t be much higher than that. 600 bucks max imo. Here’s a good source you could get the same pack for 515 USD(or for people that comes after, since you likely already have finished building your board at this point LOOOL)
The motors from TB are also stupendously marked up. here are the SAME motors (same OEM) but wayyyy cheaper.
Keep in mind that you do NOT buy the new “battle-hardened” version of their motors. They’re considerably worse if you take them apart and compare the build quality, and is a straight-up downgrade IMO.
Flipsky ships real fast if you tell them you want FedEx shipping and add a little extra, takes about 4 days since the day of shipping to get to my spot (Canada) which goes through Memphsis, meaning US destinations should be even faster.
Whilst we’re here at Flipsky, take a look at their Vx1 (do not buy the Vx2, just a pile of hot garbage) and their trucks if you think DKP is good for you. Don’t buy the 15 inch one, if you’re willing to downgrade to 6374, the 12 inch one fits 2 of them exactly which will look really clean. Otherwise if you’re going for 6384 then go for the 13 inch truck. I would also get all the connectors from them too.
For ESC, go for MakerX. Anything else out there is trouble, including shitbox unity that wouldn’t let you configure duty cycle current limit start. Flipsky ESCs are okay, but legit needs water cooling to not thermal throttle after 5 seconds. Stormcore have already sent people into hospitals I believe, and Trampa VESCs I’ve not yet tested because they’re so darn expensive I’ll just probably never get one.
Cags are okay if you run DKP setup; if you run an RKP setup, I suggest TB110 or BB105, if you ride a lot of bike lanes and there’s a lot of gravel everywhere, I suggest Cloudwheel 120s. Keep in mind that the cloudwheels will mean that you can’t carve as hard as other boards, and with the powertrain you got there, will burn the wheels when braking or accelerating hard.
As said previously, good RKP setup would be from Boardnamics, just get their adjustable baseplate drivetrain. It’s a one-stop shop.
