Noob question thread! 2020_Summer

I think only the really old LY Evo deck were +/- 15°. I thought all the new ones were +/-10°.

I might be wrong.

Do you know which one it is? I’ve been looking around online and only found +/- 15, but idk how old that source is

They good for thick wire?

10Awg is no problem. You also have different tip to choose from.

This one good or am I overpaying?

I’d say you overpay.

I paid 79$/66€/59£ for the same package

ts100, 3 tips, power supply, stand and i got a barrel jack to xt60 connector for lipos instead of the probably useless solder.

Ah ok will keep looking
Want one which is next day shipping or local so I can get soon

Thanks will look around

mhhh good question.
Bumbs and wheel size is one thing, center of gravity another one.
I would prefer smaller wheels on top mount decks to get more to the ground, accepting less top speed.

Definitely not a scam, I’ve spent something like 400 Euros there
But he’s slow, really sloooooooooow
If you want to get your goods this year - you have to annoy him with ETA @ WhatsApp

eskating dot eu is the place to go if:

  • you want your shit three summers from now
  • you want to be treated like freshly lain dog shit
  • you want to have to have your stuff fixed after it arrives broken
  • you want zero communication from seller

Might as well just light the money on fire.

Seriously, there are other vendors in the EU that don’t suck donkey balls.

It’s only about terminology

The services he offers suck, no doubt

But I think calling someone a scammer without an evidence isn’t the best idea
Especially if u’re the one of the most active members @ the biggest esk8 diy community

I have bought things from him. This isn’t for no reason. All I’m doing is trying to help folks.

If you want to build an esk8, don’t buy stuff from there, it will help you in your quest.

That may be true on paper, but i have not noticed a huge difference in my experience. That said, nearly all of my esk8s have been monster trucks, so I may be biased/ignorant haha

We’rent they the one with the fire hazard batteries at one point?

I don’t know for sure about that. I’m only going by my first-hand experiences and not hearsay.
