I just bought a used Klever longboard. Couldn’t pass it up, the shape was too cool. Also ordered Dickyho’s ‘kit’ with reverse mounts and budget 6374 motors. Build cost so far:
You probably could have picked the esc and enclosure from dicky too, the fsesc 4.20 and the esc/battery enclosure. You can get a mini remote off and some 5s lipo batteries off eBay for fairly little
Any off the shelf items come to mind? I found this for CHEAP. $38 shipped to my doorstep, but want to measure the deck first. Also kind of like the square look, could match the overall look/feel.
I dug out a used ‘eBay’ ESC I had. I have the same in another board that has survived a 10s4p battery and fairly aggressive riding… it’s ‘free’, but I’m putting a $35 value on it for the build.
Anything I can do to make this ESC better or more reliable?
Thanks Zach. I could also put two of these parallel to increase the discharge rate correct? I’m not sure if it doubles, but I did this on another board and it significantly jumped my acceleration and top speed with no other changes… probably tells me the board didn’t have enough battery to optimize the ESC.
That ESC can be configured for 6/7/10s so of you double up the pack it will still be fine. The ESC has a built in limit so the double pack will be more than enough power at 60A. You’ll also have like 45 miles of range
