[WTB][US-NYC] AT Esk8 drivetrain + ESC

#1

Hello, I’m looking to buy a bunch of parts for my first belt drive board. I’m going with air-filled AT, and am looking for a few parts. I’m not ready to buy and confirm deals immediately, I’m mostly finalizing my budget for this and figuring out who has what so incase I have to order something from china (definitely will) I won’t have US parts laying around. I’m a beginner and a certified moron so forgive any idiot mistakes I’ll make. If there are any pricing errors or oddities, please call me out on it, Ill fix it.

2x 5055/5065 140kv with MATCHING red pulleys :dizzy_face: (pending @ZachTetra)

In terms of trucks and stuff, I’ve been looking at this, Looking to spend ~$150 on this kit/bundle.

In terms of ESC, this is what I was looking at. I’ll take any decent equivalent dual vesc. My pack is a 10s3p of 30Q cells so 90A continuous maximum.

For controllers and a reciever, I’ll take anything along the lines of a VX1. Small, that shape and simple to hold and operate. Looking to spend ~$30

The last thing I’m struggling with is an enclosure. I have an MBoards (spare me the “eww”, please. I regret my mistake) extended enclosure that is wayyyy too large and has actually caused some cracking on my deck because it inhibits flex. I’m looking for one of those 2 part enclosures One part that can easily fit a 140x160x40mm battery + BMS and another part for the rest of the electronics including this vesc that I’m looking for. The battery enclosure that I looked at is this. It’s a bit small but I’m looking for something similar. In terms of electronics enclosure, I see no reason to get something like this but if you have anything let me know.

Also, if someone can link me some cheap and basic soft (thick) griptape I would appreciate that. I don’t know what’s horrible and what is usable.

I quickly whipped up this in fusion 360, might end up just using this instead of buying a battery enclosure. Walls are pretty thick and will be fairly solid so I’m not too worried about durability. big enclosure v2.stl (40.9 KB)

your profile says to let you know if you’re being incompetent

by not being able to search for griptape, it’s demonstrating incompetence

also I wouldn’t cheap out on a remote/receiver, particularly if you’re riding in nyc where there can be a lot of radio interference

I shouldve specified that I’m not sure how griptape would work on a drop through deck, but Ill figure that out

#5

probably the same as it would on a regular deck, but may be more cutting/shaping/trimming involved

#6

yeah i shouldve just figured that out myself :man_facepalming:

we all start from zero, this place has really a wealth of knowledge that can generally be found by searching

It’s not that bad as I’ve already messed around with some cheap stuff, although not having a delay on acceleration and braking would be nice.

having any delay, especially on braking, in nyc, sounds insane

not too big of a deal when you’re cruising at litearlly 8 miles per hour because of the poor road quality + 70mm hubs… D: the brakes don’t do much at that speed

My recommendation is: No.
The max continuous discharge rating of a 30Q is 15A

sure, but now you are talking about a bigger board that you’ll go faster on

to each their own

Reliability of remote and controller are equivalent to safety. I live in suburban california and get occasional cutouts. Swapped to a freesk8 puck for that reason. It’s just not something you want to have happen. Even if your slow, you don’t want it going out down a hill, or at a light or God knows.

Get yourself a mini and you’ll be ok :slight_smile: old faithful that remote.

I’ve got a torqueboards AT kit that I’d sell when you get ready. It’s in my extra, extra drawer so probably not going anywhere.
