You inherited $2500. What Esk8 stuff do you buy?

True story.

malJohann · September 20, 2019, 2:40am

TBH I’d buy more tools, parts and raw materials because DIY.

I’d spend the propensity of my inheritance on fast women and fun stuff… the remained I would waste!

wandagoner · September 20, 2019, 3:15am

$2,500 to fund an esk8.news article on Enertion’s initial contribution, current decline, and (hopefully) plan to re-join as a positive contributor to the community of DIY.

but then again @venom121212 has a good point on spending on sleeping accommodations, for a small lady the wife takes a disproportional amount of sleeping real estate.

Why 25R cells?

Fosterqc · September 20, 2019, 6:23am

I Ordered 48 for a 12S4P at first, I just wanted to have 80A cont. for the single 80A motor I was going to use.

I am aware 30Q are ok for 20A.

25R were just 50 cents cheaper and I was super broke so I went with them.

Then I convinced my friend to build a ESK8 and he was ordering from Nkon. there was no extra shipping cost so I got free shipping from him for another 36 cells. now I have 84 pre tabbed cells and https://vruzend.com/product/hexagonal-18650-battery-holders-3-cell/ holders for them.

My friend has 60 30Q with u-tabs for a 12S5P with the same holders. So advice about building my battery is advice to him as well.

I’ve been thinking about that too, although I think it’s a bit soon. But something along the lines of this would interesting.

Not yet, going to try and make it this summer though!

Arzamenable · February 1, 2020, 2:20am

I guess I’d buy the fastest electric skateboard. And then I guess I’d need some fancy blinky lights and stickers.

Edit: I’d buy plane tickets for @sender, @Kaly and @arch to come skate SD for cat and mouse. @jamie can come too, but only if he doesn’t shank me for what I did to his deck.

kook · February 1, 2020, 2:38am

Jordicious · February 1, 2020, 2:55am

Shitload of cells, welder, and other kit to build a ridiculous battery for my range build I’m designing. Then some bonkers ESCs, 80100s, etc etc etc.
