First build. Looking for freedback :)

Sure, I don’t see an enclosure or helmet on your list

Try that :slight_smile:

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.
