For battery, what is your range goal. This board will not be light. Your boosted stealth is probably 16-18 lbs. this will be more like 25-27+
Yah would also consider the weight. I have one portable short range deck that is easy enough to grab and bring on public transport (185Wh of lipo). Then a long range pneumatics build (10S5p LG HG1 I want to say) for crappier weather and longer rides, but is a chore to carry up and down two flights of stairs to get to my place or up onto the train platform, maybe a thing to consider.

eh im looking for 20 wish miles of range. Im unsure of the difference between 10s4p and 10s5p
I had found maytechs for 112$ a pop. but do you recommend other motors over these or near close to these as in quality?
Pneumatics get about half efficiency/range for the same battery compared with urethane, usually in the ballpark of 10-15 Wh per km (depending on weight etc YMMV), pneumatics is more like 30Wh per km or far worse if you are racing.
You can take the cell Ah and multiply by number of cells and nominal voltage to get the total Wh. Something like 2.5Ah x 50cells x 3.7V = x Wh
yeah I will only be using urethane wheels
I know there are a lot of motors out there I have just seen a lot of people use maytechs as their go to but im unsure on others preferences
Yah not sure there is a poll, I imagine someone has done an article or thread trying to compare or something but canāt recall having seen it, but this place can get pretty active and I miss a lot. Would look at what ātrusted buildersā are using (how to define this is loose).
Like I said, no personally bad experience with maytech have just seen people with them break down eventually but that depends on abuse/care and all mechanical things eventually break down.
I donāt feel bad pointing to TB though they are generally good about helping out and providing things ready to assemble (maybe lacking written instructions but generally YouTube walkthroughs for everything). Other places can be harder to contact, go radio silent, or take long to deliver. Given the corona stuff shipping might get hard for everyone but in general things move fast there.
Sleepy here 
but good luck with your build will try to check in later.

Iād estimate 10S5P will get you 20 miles with moderate riding and might fall just short with really aggressive riding.
Maytechs sells two motors. The sealed versions and the open can. Iād recommend the sealed cans.

If youāre running urethrane wheels (I.e. not offroading) why bother with sealed cans? Thereās less debris on road that will pollute the can and the motors will run much cooler unsealed.
Iām running unsealed motors and fuck about in the woods regularly and have never had anything other than dust get in there.
Also why the hell do people keep recommending neoboxes? So far there has been zero feedback testing reports from users. How can you recommend a product that isnāt even officially āoutā?
@kadeanderson youāre doing research but I canāt say youāre quite there yet if you donāt know the difference between 10s4p and 10s5p and sealed vs unsealed. Good on you for asking and not just buying though.
Careful, you wake Frank

I mean Iād also recommend the TB new VESC thatās being worked on because I have some trust in them and see them here, compare with flipsky or maytech or enertion, basically I trust the people I can find here and choke 
(I kid not a fighter but first part is true)

I can definitely understand recommending a new esc from a reputable vendor who has delivered solid products in the past.
Jeff seems great and Iām not knocking his products because I canāt judge them yet.

Iām on first batch for neoboxes and theyāre not delivered until next Friday ._.

Yah I was really thinking since not available yet that recommendation was really just to wait and look into that (a hopeful way of telling them to sit and wait). I guess it could turn out to be bad advice in the future when we know more though.

Iām hoping for a win but the only delivered product so far has been the deck and lots (several) of cracks and splits. Hopefully the story ends there 
The maytechs can be good, if battle hardened.
Not to dump on just them. different batches have QC issues. Some folks here will probably swear by them. I use higher kv, closed motors in warmer climates, with a punchy throttle curve and tons of hard starts and stops, on bumpy concrete. Iām asking for loose magnets.
Racestar (who makes the evolve motors) has made crummy motors and indestructible motors.
@Venom121212 Is right about untested gear. the original (mainly 1.7 but also 1.6) focbox singles are so highly regarded, in part bc they have performed over a long period of time in so many different users hands. They are community tested.

I thought I had seen somewhere negligible differences in thermal performance. And at the price, theyāre a minor upgrade if thermals arenāt a problem. Which they shouldnāt be for this build. Plus, doesnāt the sealed 6374 have an additional can bearing?
Thank you for responding ! I would totally agree that Iām not there yet in terms of knowledge! I do learn pretty fast so that is good 
I donāt plan to build this until summer comes, so I definitely have time! And during that time I will work to gain more knowledge in the space
Antisparks are all shit, the 15$ and the 100$ ones all will fail, and all suck ass so they do not count

Not all antisparks are shit, gamers antispark manufactured by flipsky that control dt/vt slew rates good. 3D servisas is good as well. And I think haggyboards is bringing their antispark out this month.
