I am from Europe. Looking to build something that preforms similar or better than stock Hurricane.
is the Stormcore overkill?
Which trucks/motor mounts combo could I instead buy? Ideally from EU to not deal with customs and expensive shipping? Makerx 260mm trucks? Do those fit stock Hurricane AT wheels and pulleys? Where to get motor mounts for them?
Is the battery going to bottleneck? Dangerous to draw more amps than the stock Hurricane ESC does?
Sounds like a pretty nice setup, not sure on all of the compatibility parts but the base parts sound pretty good
Get flipsky motors over the Lacroix for sure, they’re just better. (new ones, battle hardened)
Stormcore is a great ESC, but personally I’d go with something from MakerX probably to save some $, but that’s just me.
Makerx trucks have short axles so that probably wouldn’t be great. You could try the flipsky trucks but they’ve been known to have some issues in the past, I think.
I’m not sure what the best option is for trucks in EU since I don’t live there
The hurricane battery is pretty good. I would setup your vesc to make sure it cannot draw more than about 95a. I think the hurricane battery has a 100a discharge BMS, so I’d set my VESC so it can only draw 47.5a per side.
So if you set your stormcore too high, you will get a cutout and you will eat street. Either set your settings below what the meepo BMS is set to, therefore nullifying all your upgrades and making it just a smoother hurricane with the same wattage.
Or you can sell that battery and buy one with the bms bypassed from one of the builders on here.

I personally love my stormcore. Haven’t tried maker x like Ryan suggested. It’s a silly little gimmick but stormcores power button cycles through a green-blue-red gradient to indicate remaining battery life, and I really enjoy that, looks better than a volt meter, but that’s all that really makes it stand out from any other quality esc afaik.
Well, VESC and whatever the ESC in the hurricane performs like are going to be different of course. And the remote will be different as well, so it’s not pointless. But theoretically the total output power would be similar on the same battery
Arent flipsky, hurricane, and onsra dkp trucks from the same factory? To me they all look exactly the same. Or are the qualities different?
And out of curiousity. Why take a complete build and diy it? Are their no options to buy the parts? I know metroboard has carbon fiber decks for sell on the website
