You mean ATC? So between $50 and $120? @akhlut might be able to throw something simple together for you for <$120, but I donāt know of any other options.
Another $120 option though is the lacroix mounts. Nicer looking (imo) than the more expensive EBS mounts. Everything else is super fancy and >$200.
the kit is recommended for 9-10 inchā¦i got 35 inches, do you think thats okay?
Heres the link
Thanks!
Will be off for some time riding my unmotorized ( 
) longboard

The 9-10 inch deck measurement theyāre talking about is deck width, not length.
Iām assuming you donāt have a 35" wide deck, you mean length

Do you know where I can get a matching battery indicator for the VESC? Or should I buy that for the battery separately? Do you know a good 42V Charger (i need 42V for 36V batteries right?)? Though I donāt know what battery Iāll get so I donāt know the max charging current. But a battery charge indicator would be great!
All of the answers to these questions are already here. People respond best to those who use search and read up as well as ask questions. You also need to read a certain amount to be elevated to the next trust level here, and Iām sure you will want to do that.
Cool to see your enthusiasm, though. So great to see fresh blood coming in here every day.

Any battery indicator that has an acceptable voltage range (0-50V is a common one) will work.
If you get a battery maker to make you one, you can ask them to include a connector for a battery meter.
If you know how to work with batteries safely and solder, you just wire the voltmeter in parallel.
Do a bit of searching around, thereās a looot of helpful info here.

Welcome @Niklas!
itās pretty hard to do anything wrong here 
We have many german residents that could also help you out 
@xsynatic @Mainflow @Creavenger @Benjo are a few of them 
Also since you are new, we made a few threads that could really help you with building an esk8, especially since it all seems a bit complicated at the beginning with different Vesc and battery cells, battery chemistry, boards etcā¦
So if you donāt mind, have a look at some of these

Thats a lot of reading already haha.
I also want to note that 500 is very low and to build something good at that price is really hard when āāChina Boardsāā like Exway (pun intended) make amazing boards for the price.
May i ask how much range you want and what wheels you would like?

I just wanna make sure I donāt screw this up: what do you think is the best way to remove tis XT90 and replace with an XT60? Super simple job I just donāt have any wickāthink I could just press a hot tip to the joint and remove it?
i would remove the plastic ( via dremel ) so that you could work on removing one soldered joint at a time.

No need, once they get hot the bullet can spin loose, you cab heat one side then rotate it out of contact

nice could I heat up the bullet from the outside/inside the housing? That should work right?
Yeah, but to get enough thermal transfer it would require some solder, youāll loose the connector
