Flipsky battle hardened motors are pretty good. Especially cool you can get them on amazon and are protected by amazon return policies. Electronics from Flipsky are hit or miss.
Sure, I don’t see an enclosure or helmet on your list
Try that
Flipsky makes okay motors and remotes but I would definitely not get ESCs from them.
For slightly more, you can get a Flipsky 6384 on amazon, which is a much better motor, especially for single drive.
For the Caguamas, check out the Boardnamics pulleys.
If you can find some Caliber baseplates, the boardnamics hangers are super dope
Also do some searching on “MBoards” I see them appearing a lot on your list but they sell mostly marked up and overpriced cheap china stuff.
This is a very, very good strategy, stick with Caliber hanger profiles (like Boardnamics for example) and HTD5M synchronous timing belts (also called “5M”)
For ESCs, absolutely not. For motors and some remotes, yeah.
Not so much
They have great 110mm wheels and their TORQUE6 ESCs are pretty good. Some things there I would stay away from, but not the whole company. I wouldn’t get a drivetrain there.
Ah is range, but it also doesn’t tell the whole range story. In some circumstances a “4Ah” battery could get a higher range than a “6Ah” battery.
The battery is the THE MOST IMPORTANT PART of the build and needs to be the most expensive part and the most scrutinized. A battery can do everything from burn your house down to providing years of enjoyment. Literally nothing happens without the battery, it needs to be a good one. Cheap out on other stuff if needed.
Hello canadian friend. Just go with flipsky, it’s not great but every budget board uses the same quality so you’ll be fine. You won’t be able to afford a unity or xenith. I have a 3d printer too! I’m printing my enclosures! And mounts for lights
depends, esc? unless u r into gambling, or else no. motor? yea, it used to be shit, now with the BH version are decent enough. remote? vx1 is the shit in the cheap catagory, vx2 is meh, vx3 still too new, but its trigger style if that’s ur thing.
no, the owner is a scammer
no, that’s torqueboards, which u might wanna buy from. the one to avoid is diyeboard.com
depends on how much amps u will be pulling, they work fine up to 30a, but in general, go for v6 hardware
1.5 times capacity difference on paper, but config could be completely different. its hard to tell which will get better result without knowing what cell / cycle / s and p count…etc
You’re probably right and everyone on this forum will agree with you but if @Mickapouel is really tight then just go with fs esc. Lots of people have used fs esc and been okay. Though many have not
This might be the most overlooked advice — buy used stuff on the parts market. Just don’t be dumb about it. Make sure everything you buy is compatible and good stuff.
I would not consider flipsky ESC’s complete shit. They have improved over the years. The 4.20 now comes with a big TVS diode and as long as you don’t push them to hard they are fine for ~40A.
Far too many people fall into the same trap of having a deck they love, wanting to electrify it, and then realizing there are no enclosures that fit the deck or buying one that looks right but isn’t.
If you want cheap and actually decent replace with a CheapFOCer 2.0 V0.9 or V1.0
IIRC someone in canada is making these for resale, and they’re quite capable.
