My goal is to beat Meepo Shuffle (V4) price($499) and get almost the same performance as Meepo Hurricane($1659). The problem is… I need motor mounts(reverse), two 6374 motors and board.
What do you guys think about these products because I never heard these brands before… Also, I need help finding motor mounts. Please…
MOOSE Longboard Skateboad Deck 10" x 39.8" Freeride Freestyle Drop Down Cruiser US $58.95
Also. If you’ve never built a battery and you don’t know what you’re doing, please either take the time to do your research or pay someone else to do it. I wouldn’t trust my battery with an 8 dollar BMS either.
Read through this thread so you can get an idea of what’s required in a good esk8 battery.
Base on Youtubers…
Pavel Garmas, Lee Wright and Just Vlad. The BMS is good enough for 10s setup. I’m only using it for charging the batteries. The reason why It’s cheap. I brought it directly from the manufacture. lol I skipped the middle man. Trust me… I been doing research for 3 months for my safety.
Not seeing an enclosure listed, and seeing MBoards parts, are classic red flags that you will be running into issues later that will be likely to cost money.
I was reading through the parts list and was really impressed. “Damm, first build and no mboards part in sight, im impressed!” Then i reached the last line
These motors are ass and won’t last too long, you can tell because they don’t have phase wires on them, this is a massive red flag. Use a Flipsky motor.
Flipskys smart enhanced 200a antispark is also a good choice if you want to have a power button to easily turn on and off the board, heard their reliable as well
A few things. If you’re building your own pack I see a few things missing from your parts list. I’m assuming you already have some of this stuff but it bears mentioning.
Polymide tape- an important insulation tool.
Nickle strip- unlikely you would be able to build a pack safely without this
Shrink wrap
High-strand silicone tinned copper wire (various gauges but you can build lots of different packs w 12 awg and 14 awg on hand)
Soldering iron
60/40 solder (don’t cheap out on this one as it will make a huge difference in the difficulty of your joints)
Rosin
Hot glue gun
You’ll also likely have some trouble w that spot welder. Malelecteics or kWeld are solid choices but more expensive.
DIYing your own battery only makes sense financially if you plan on building multiple packs. Otherwise, the initial up-front investment kills any savings and then some. Also, Lee Wright is a solid battery builder. Pavel, not so much. Co-sign w @Evwan re checking out the battery builders thread.
If this is a one-time thing then I would just buy a used pack. I actually might be selling a 10s3p made from murata vtc6 cells that I would sell on the cheap w about 20 cycles on it. Keep your eye on the parts section of the forum too. You can save a lot of dough there. Good luck w the build.
Those parts I dont know what to get. The enclosure is going to be 3d printed with carbon fiber reinforce. If you could help me getting something reasonable. I will get it.
