Thanks a lot @Halbj613 @Venom121212 @Creavenger @taz for the advice !
But now I’m more looking towards 2000€ than 1500€ (if I buy all the parts new).
Any recommendations on how to lower the price and on a good box that is capable of holding a 12S8P battery ?

Bang for buck, I doubt you can beat this. Will hold a 12s8p plus your esc if your want it to.

If you plan on keeping your esc separate, look for similar ones on ebay or Amazon. Search “junction box”. Waterproof, can take a hell of a beating, and look smoother than the pelican cases imo.

“Buy nice or buy twice” is the truest statement and mistake around here.

There seem to be an issue with your amazon link because it redirects me to a DJI gimbal :thinking:

Same with me

Yes that statement is pretty much a law of nature around here lol

@BbsMentos look at peli cases or cheaper equivalents.

Here is some inspiration Show me your top mount [no words, specs only]

If he’s in the EU, I sell CNC trucks cheaper than TB 218.

Thanks, I managed to fin this one on amazon france (Lord I wish I could find as much there as amazon.com) https://www.amazon.fr/dérivation-résistant-intempéries-adaptable-extérieur/dp/B00U6BUE4U/ref=sr_1_28?__mk_fr_FR=ÅMÅŽÕÑ&crid=38WL9RZY3CW93&keywords=boite+de+jonction+etanche&qid=1583771201&sprefix=boite+de+jo%2Caps%2C144&sr=8-28
I’m worried about the fact that it is only IP 56 (or IP55 in the description), will this do ?

I would suggest this but Im not sure if the price is for a pair? https://electricboardsolutions.com/collections/pulleys-belts-mounts/products/68t-pulley-for-mbs-rockstar-ii

Fun tip about ip ratings:

The first digit pertains to solid objects (dust)

The second digit pertains to liquids (water)

I’d say ip56 is fine but wouldn’t argue against ip66 or higher.

Thanks for this spreadsheet ! Also what was wrong with the BMS I chose ?

I dont think anyone uses that which isnt a good sign

And your charger you might aswell get from Aliexpress since the amazon store ships from china

‘Deadman switch’ only one I know of is on the firefly Adurino based remote, and that one has reliability issues (mine did anyway) and it’s tough to find one premade.

Embrace the occasional accidental throttle blip or habitually turn off remote the second you step off the deck.

Hoyt boards has a ‘standby’ mode that helps prevent accidental throttle.

Sorry, Not the firefly, but I had/have similar shown here. https://www.electric-skateboard.builders/t/diy-trigger-style-remote-with-telemetry-complete-guide/48231/104

Would this be a good option ? It seems to be a knockoff of the goodvision 12s but I can’t find it anywhere :confused:

Or maybe this one but it’s very expensive : https://eskating.eu/product/12s-bestech-bms-80a-12s4p-5p/#

mmmmm maybe not quite yet until we know for sure that they are going to work how we hope they shall. Like venom said, probably focboxes if he can find some

So I specifically said look into not buy as he can check out now what he thinks Andy then wait for test results

Problem about focboxes is they sell like hot cakes so hard to get one

Thanks again @moon @Venom121212 @Halbj613 @Creavenger @Arzamenable for the precious help !
Now I am only missing a BMS, I’m struggling to find a consensus on a 12s li-ion BMS. Would 10s10p battery layout make it easier to find one ?

This one works great, I use the same BMS. Its charge only though so it will not limit your output amps, which for most people is a good thing. Maybe ask @tinp123 if he has one laying around for a more affordable price :slight_smile:
