Damn brother. Trying to reach the sky from the bottom of the sea!
Youâll need more than $300 if you want a decent drivetrain
Good luck

youâll be best off just doing a lot of research and buying these parts new when you can. Buy right or buy twice. Iâm in the process of building my first Esk8 and already have spent around $800 trying to go as budget friendly as i can. you donât want questionable electronics or motors. especially at that price youâre not going to get anything amazing\
you can get cheaper parts but really youâre not going to be getting anything much cheaper unless its less reliable. look at the parts market section of the forum to see what people are asking and looking for when buying used.
if youâre going to buy anything search for the name of the item on the forum first. there might be a post reviewing it or a warning against buying it.
Dont forget that this is for reverse mounting (although frankly I dont know what the difference is between this and the front facing mounts)
But heres a link to the âregularâ ones, just in case.
(it looks like the length of the mount? 
)

i confirmed with TB that the only difference is the reverse is slightly longer to clear the base plate a little better for more clearance. they both can be mounted either direction.

what kind of wheels do you have ? youll probably need a new bigger set with the matching pulley system, these are on sale right now.
feel free to message me with any questions. it would be much more helpful to know what youâre trying to accomplish in your build and what type of terrain youll be riding it in ( flat, hills, etc.)

hey i have a dual vesc, antispark switch and remote. theyâre all integrated into the VESC
iâm asking $199 for it. PM for pics if youâre interested
ended up blowing up my budget getting single motor TB mech kit w/ 97mm wheels , 6355, tb vesc, nano remote/receiver. a anti spark switch, batt meter, enclosure, misc connectors. with goal of dual 6355 off my 10s4p. hopefully this thing turns out well after busting my wallet open. if anyone thinks im missing something let me know.

right ? thatâs low range budget. still solid for a first build for sure!
glad to hear youâre going to be getting some great parts! youâll have no regrets, trust me!
Iâm assuming a few values but you should get about 31mph top speed and 24mph range. you can use the vesc to lower the top speed and increase range though, you can do a ton of changes, you should read up over here!

Well I used to downhill longboard and now Iâm in an area with little to no hills so I gotta get speed somehow and my legs ainât doing it for me. Mainly just want to cruise around town take it with me to the beach and whatnot
Please read up on how to program your VESC, improper programming can either damage your board or your fun. No one likes a boring board
I canât reccomend FOC with Dexterâs 4.12 escs, I think BLDC is your best bet for a reliable board.
