Fr tho if you got a stash of switchblades and tb 6355s for 50$ a pop hmu
Nah, the switchblade was from @eicarumba and it was his old old old board, I spent around 3 or 4 hours cleaning it up (Taking the old foam he had a s sealant on it off, regripping, filling in hole etc), although I’m probably gonna make it look just as messy. The 6355 was my old motor when I upgraded to a 170kv…
It should be noted for which country the list of parts is written for, because customs can be a huge increase in price.
Lol this is so easy… @BuildKitBoards Tayto. Best budget build out there. And ask @Sender, my first build was super budget, and the tayto still wins as far as price vs quality.
thats only really true for the US, if you toy with the idea of buying a bkb dual in europe youre looking at about 1050$ after all fees 
anyways, not a build per se - but if you can grab a used enertion raptor 1 in decent condition its a really good entry to the hobby- i was as lucky as to score one for 650€ and did not regret once

(Obviously you can save a lot by using a cheaper deck and home-made enclosure, but with this setup you wouldn’t have to upgrade the expensive items down the line. The more items you buy from the same shop / person, the cheaper shipping becomes relative to the amount spent.)
Budget AT Build:
Deck - Ebay/skateshred drop deck (make sure to check for wheelbite) - $40
Motors - 2x @dickyho 63xx - $100
Wheels/Mounts/Trucks/Pulley/Belts - @dickyho AT Drive Kit - $130
Battery - 10s Lipos or NESE - $150
Bms - Cheap Charge Only or Lipo Balance Charger - $15
ESC - eBay Dual or Cheap Vesc (Maker X / Flipsky /Neobox) - $100
Enclosure - 3D Printed / Dry Box / Laptop Bag - $20
Total approx cost: $550 - $600
Here’s an example of my build like this
Landyachtz deck on sale $40 (Or ebay deck)
flipsky vesc 4.12 on aliexpress $50
mini remote on aliexpress/banggood $15
dickyho single belt kit $66 (with 97mm wheels included)
dickyho 6374 sensored $50
dickyho shipping $36 (cheaper if you msg him on here and paypal him directly to avoid ebay fees)
aliexpress 10s3p 7ah dual stack battery $85
10s 2a charger from aliexpress $15
pencil case enclosure $2 (no need for antispark)
Total: $360
I’ve done this multiple times and these boards kick ass in the UK.
Single C6374 170kv 50A Motor (Ebay, £37)
Dickyho single mount kit from ya boi £90
Connector pack also from ya boi: £5
Flipsky 4.12 FSESC Ebay £36
Used deck off FB marketplace: £10-25 (Can get some really nice stuff. You’re about to drill it anyway)
Batteries: Tricky part. LiPos if possible, if not 10S2P with fogstar cells built by someone good. £150
Remote: Come on, it has to be a mini remote lets get real £13
Enclosure: Depending on what you got, £10 nylon one ebay
That’s a total of about £350 and these things kick ass, use a shortboard and the board really doesn’t need any changes, the single 6374 (its actually 6372 but still) will give a massive kick for a shortboard.
As every summer for 2 years, I will bring back my Mad Surfer alive !
I think about 2 different setups possible … (dual motors both)
A poor hub motors setup :
Deck : DIY from marine plywood = +/- 50€
Motors : Hub motors kit with * = 95€
Trucks : caliber type *
Wheels : 90mm copy *
Mounts : none / hub motors
Pulleys : none / hub motors
ESCs : 2 x VESC 4.12 = 90€
battery pack : HK lipos, 6 x 2s or 4 x 3s or 3 x 4s for 12s5Ah = +/- 70€
remote : GT2B 20€
Loop key : XT90S = 5€
enclosure : none, its summer !
Total: 330 €
Or, a bit better powerful little but strong setup :
Deck : DIY from marine plywood = +/- 50€
Trucks and mounts : Kahua truck with motor mount = 145€
Wheels : Senior Pepe 90mm (kegel core) = 45€
Pulleys : Haggy motors and wheels pulley + belts = 80€
Motors : dual 5065 140kV = 70€
ESCs: 2 x VESC 4.12 = 90€
battery: HK lipos, 6 x 2s or 4 x 3s or 3 x 4s for 12s5Ah = +/- 70€
remote: GT2B 20€
Loop key : XT90S = 5€
enclosure : none, its summer !
Total: 575 €
Fixed.
the power is getting to you
Yes, how dare I remove non-budget builds from the budget build thread. I’m a regular megalomaniac.
Nice ride. I am hoping to build something similar. Looking at your parts you used a few major ones from dickyho and it looks like he shut down his shop and I can’t see what the parts are. Any other links for them? Thanks a lot.
i don’t see a location for you, but a really good seller here in Vendor Corner stocks Dickyho stuff out of the UK: Nexusboards.
I was just trying to find where to update my location seeing the original post again. Im in the US
