Stockster4’s esk8 build

ESC
I would avoid a VESC 4.12, especially for $100. That’s pretty expensive for what is really a $50 controller. It’s the first generation of VESC controllers, and they have come a long way since then.

IMO you’d be better off with a FOC 75100 off AliExpress

It’s a 20s controller without a DRV chip so it would be pretty reliable at 10s for the same price. You will have to solder bullets for the motor and a battery connector on.

Even two of those would be cheaper than most dual controllers

Drivetrain
This is your best bet for cost. Includes motor mounts, motors, and pulleys. Even if you decide to go with a single drive the whole thing costs less than that flipsky motor

You can 3d print the wheel pulleys. Lots of options on Thingiverse

Remote
A mini remote with a 3d printed case

Enclosure
These can turn out pretty well
