Not me 
You should also take a look at your wheels, those babies are very important too, start with 6x2 wheels or something cheap, they are great imho.

These wheels
€ 10,98 35%OFF | 6 Inch Electric Scooter Wheel 6x2 Wheel With Air Tire Or Solid Tire Metal Hub With 8mm 10mm Axle Hole Trolley Cart Wheel
I think these are the cheapest “reliable” pneumatic option? If anyone knows better please correct me.

Cheapest and reliable are generally — though not always (see loopkey) — hard to fit in the same sentence.
I’d probably turn my own rims on a lathe if that was my true goal.

Could you explain this for a dummie?
This is really good advice.

Around $500-$700 is what my board costed me thanks to my good homie @DerelictRobot donating to the poor. He got sick of my range anxiety and this is what happened. I’ll fucking race it. It’s pretty fast…

Thank you!
Another stupid question, you’d want the air filled ones so you can adjust air pressure right?

Lol…close to 3k in parts alone in that thing

This and they’re just comfortable when compared to non air filled tires. I might have a set of these I can sell you for super cheap if ya want. With pullies too.

Most of them are running PU in that video though or am I seeing wrong?
The grip on the roads is better too than urethane, especially the karting tracks that we race are slippery for those wheels since there is a lot of rubber residue left.

Yeah, I mean making your own rims from a block of aluminum with a lathe and various hand tools.

If you still want to build inrunner setup, here’s a list of components I’ve found to work very well on a race board thats within your budget:
This motor is a lowish kv (700kv) so on 6s, you can use a normal belt or chain drive without an extreme gearing ratio. In my experience, this motor can output around 60 amps continuously with passive cooling and 90 amps with a heatsink and fan.
This is a rebranded hobbywing esc, which has proved to be reliable for me. It stays cool to the touch under stressful conditions, has a punchy yet controllable throttle, and strong braking.
Turnigy batteries have a bad reputation for exaggerating their current specs but surprisingly, this lipo doesn’t sag much under heavy load. Get two of these in parallel and you should get around 8 miles of range on urethane wheels or 4.5 miles on 150mm pneumatics.
I would recommend a chain drive setup over 32 pitch spur gears. Chain is easier to mount, just as reliable and tends to last longer than tiny pinion gears.
For just over 500$ you can get alot of bang for your buck. The only thing this setup lacks is range so in the future you could just upgrade to a larger battery.
