I have finally decided to post all that I have ordered for my first build in hopes to help others build their own e-board. To start off, purchased a drop through deck, added galaxy grip tape because why not make it pretty. With shipping it was $63.28

The battery has its own enclosure,https://www.wayfair.com/storage-organization/pdp/b-w-type-2000-outdoor-case-with-si-foam-bwh1129.html
The VESC case I 3d printed, Petg, will update it to be more protective in the future!

For reliability sake, the flipsky 6.6 plus might have been a better option. It’s their newer model and doesn’t have cut out and voltage issues and the slave side doesn’t completely die for no reason.

I was talking about it with a buddy and he said it should be fine, however if it ever does do that, I will return it and get the newest one. After all my motors are going to be pulling at max 140A, so I need a good esc. Thanks for the Advice!!!

Yeah, the voltage issues seemed to mostly affect people running 12s so you should be good there, but the slave side dying was a common issue with everyone.
uhhh…
6.6 never had cutout issues that was the 4.2, also voltage issues have not been fixed it still drifts -+0.6v

Took it for a spin, didn’t go full speed though, props to ebay’s Eboard-shop! The trucks are incredibly stable
My FSESC 6.6 Dual Slave side just stopped working, trying to figure out why, for now only master side of the Vesc works.

awesome! how are those trucks and wheels holding up? vesc ever start working? which other one would you recommend?
Bummer, did you end up fixing it?
@onebluesummer and @iamasalmon,
It turns out the mcu shorted somehow so I am currently in a process of returning it for a refund through PayPal, as much as I rode, the trucks and wheels held out great, super stable with stock bushings, however, the trucks won’t fit my 6380 turnigy motors, on the same side.
Currently looking for another Vesc, once I get it and I finish the return process with the old one, I can get riding again!
