I hope you keep consistent with the style of your videos. It’s so nice to have informative videos on this diy stuff and have it in a very spelled out way. Very good job and enjoyable to watch
@@orensprojects7250 HEY LAD . I NEED LIL ADVICE HERE ON ESCs AND VESCs . WELL I ORDERED 4600W 4x MOTORS AND I HEARD TO REACH THE MAXIMUM POWER I NEED SUPPLY THEM WITH 48V ........ WELL IS THERE ANY WAY I CAN FUK THE PEDAL TO HEAT THEM UP TO MAX WITH 22V-28V ??? BIG THANK YOU
I thought about it, but in my option, the advantages of adjusting the gearing and using standard trucks/wheels haven't been enough to overcome the complexity and maintenance of belts. Hub motors work well and are so simple. Maybe I'll try a belt build sometime so I can better compare.
I'd look forward to you trying a belt. I think it'd be helpful for many people especially if you also bring the sandwich containers to it! Love that battery swap system you have!
Thanks! Swapping batteries is definitely an important feature for me. Niel at Big Kids is currently working on a nice belt drive board th-cam.com/video/LJqyWRSqOy4/w-d-xo.html
Say you go downhill (steep). U have a way to slow down? Or it stops providing power once u hit set speed and let the gravity pull you faster n faster? Thanks! Your videos are so detailed and comprehensible. A fan and a subscriber. Looking forward to more videos.
Really liking these videos - can you do one with something like all terrain / rough stuff wheels to handle bumpy sidewalks/footpaths that is light weight on a 28-30” deck to be portable?
Thanks! An all-terrain portable board would be awesome. I have a belt drive build in the works that could have potential to meet some of those goals. I'll try to get a video up soon.
First let me say I enjoy your videos and really appreciate the detail you go into... You've inspired me to build a board! anyway my hub motors arrived with the dual ESC from Maytech today but to my surprise the colors of the wires were different from any I have seen in my research... From the 90mm Hub Motor the three wires are green, Blue and Yellow.. From the dualESC they are the more familiar red, blue in the middle and then black... Would you have a guess as to how to match them? thanks in advance and catch a wave for me...
Thanks! That's awesome you're building a board. For the 3 motor wires, the colors don't matter. You can connect them in any order. Once you get the motors running, if they are spinning in the wrong direction, just reverse two of the wires and the motor will change direction. I hope this helps. Good luck with your build!
So question. Do you know which trucks / how you attach the motors you used in this video? I see in the pic on ebay that they have a shape to them but not sure what I need to actually use them. I can try askign them to include trucks but besides that idk what to get. I'm considering them over the 90mm from your longboard build because I can get the vesc and controller and 83mm motors for less than just the 90mm motors and trucks, and these ones still seem really good. And also, I've been reading that more volts lowers the amps used. This was a strange realization because what I originally knew was that motor kv was per volt so more volts = faster. So does increasing voltage not actually really increase speed? Like you said these can only use 8s batteries and seem good, does that not actually kill the speed over using 10s like on the other build? It can make sense in that the motor max watts doesnt want to change so if volts goes up amps needs to go down but it still feels strange. Thanks
I'm guessing if you send a message to the seller they will also sell you the trucks with the motors. When I bought mine I had to contact the seller and they sent me a PayPal link to order the set. I also requested express shipping so it wouldn't take forever. The motors are also compatible with the trucks Maytech sells (on aliexpress). Higher voltage will make the motors spin faster - different motors are set to a different rpm per volt (kv). When I ran the motors in this build at 10s (before one burned out) they hit around 20 to 21 mph. At 8s they hit around 18 to 19 mph. I think the 90mm motors are built better. I noticed on diyeboard.com there are 83mm versions of the same type motors as 90mm.
Thanks I'll look into all that. The ones on diyeboard are also on sale which is a nice little boost. And I probably shouldnt cheap out anyway cuz you get what you pay for anyway lol. So the diyeboard ones are probably the way to go.
Haha, I'm all for getting good deals but sometimes it's worth paying a bit more for something that's better built. From my experience those motors are a good value. Good luck with your build!
Your candid presentation apparently free of fakery is a pleasant change. For those seeking synonyms for fakery... see Deceit, deception, dissembling, dissimulation.. etc!
Hey Oren, love these videos. Inspired me to make my own diy eboard. I ordered the ESC from your long board video and the dual hub motors as well from there. Still need to pick up the batteries. Question though, how do you charge the batteries?
Thanks! I'm glad they're helpful! To charge the batteries I use the B6AC v2 LiPo Balance Charger, along with a parallel charging board. I have links in the description of the longboard build. You can also charge the batteries one after another if you don't have a parallel board. You can find the chargers on ebay www.ebay.com/sch/b6ac+v2. I hope this helps. Good luck with your build!
I’m surprised that toggle switch hasn’t melted, might have to try that out, loop keys are annoying. You should build a belt drive board with a dual 6374 motors you already have the vescs
I opened the toggle switch once and the metal switch plate inside is very thick. I don't think it'll wear through anytime soon. Thanks for the suggestion, maybe I'll try that build some time. A pair of 6374 motors running at 12S would be crazy powerful :)
I've always been used to riding 32" decks - with a kicktail. I just couldn't get used to a longboard. I keep the trucks a bit tighter than I would on a regular skateboard so speed wobbles haven't been a problem. I used to skateboard a lot growing up and was really into street skating. I haven't been street skating much recently but I'm pretty comfortable on a skateboard.
Do you have any advice for what decks and what wheels can go together I have the 90mm hub motors from your longboard but, I don’t know what deck I can put it on since all decks of interest I’m not sure if they will fit Any advice?
robert ancillo is correct that most decks should be fine and you might need riser pads. The longboard trucks have 2 sets of holes to fit both longboard and standard size decks. If you go with a board that doesn't have cutouts over the wheels you might need to add risers to avoid the wheels hitting the deck when you make sharp turns.
You should make one and do a christmas giveaway. I’d love to have a chance to win one. I cant afford to buy the pricey one and especially with holidays coming up i rather use the money on my familys gift and im sure a lot of subscribers feel the same. Also it makes me really happy to see you experimenting with bettering your boards. Good job, keep it up! :)
Thanks! It's very nice of you so spend money on your family first. I'll keep looking for better ways to build a board. Maybe I'll give one away when my channel is a bit bigger :)
No, the longboard is definitely faster and more powerful. The lighter weight and deck design are mostly what draws me more to this board. If I were starting over I'd probably stick to the same motors and ESC as the longboard.
It's made by a company called "Winning". I think this is the same one: www.ebay.com/itm/2CH-2-4Ghz-Electric-Skateboard-Remote-Control-Receiver-Strap-Motorized-Longbaord/172891976506?epid=2213577290&hash=item28412a333a:g:iNEAAOSw28pZzbd0
I'll look into it and see if I can find a good smaller deck. A penny board has some challenges. It's difficult to fit the electronics and battery. Also, if using a dual motor system it would basically weigh as much as a standard board. The difference in weight of the deck is very small compared to the weight of the motors, batteries, and trucks. I built a 30" board in one of my earlier builds. I tried a 27" board and it felt too small. I think a standard 32-inch deck like in this build is a good balance.
I didn't measure it. I would describe it as a regular steep hill, not a crazy steep hill. I know that's not very specific. I'd say in general this board makes it up just about every hill. I can only remember 1 hill where I had to walk the board. The 90mm motors I used on the longboard build would be better for steep hills though.
Meepoboard is a good option if you want a pre-build board. It all depends on preference. To me, things like light weight, easily interchangeable batteries, kicktail deck, and non-abrasive griptape are some important factors.

Oh man, that was great! I didn't expect a third board build. You're inspiring many people.
Thanks! Haha, I didn't plan to build so many boards either. I'm glad if these videos are helpful.
I was wondering if you'd ever try a belt drive build?

Very knowledgeable. I just bought a cheap Blitzart mini flash. Having doubts after watching this video and thinking i could make one myself.
Thanks! You can always keep the Blitzart as a smaller portable board and build another one for faster and longer rides :)
So much detail! So good to see some function over form! AWESOME
Thanks! Yeah, this board does function well. I think the biggest weakness is the motors.
That’s a cool build.
Awesome channel... plz make a refined version it would be awesome
Thanks! I'll work on making the next build nicer :)

it does! and thanks again ..
Great!
I am totally trying to build the courage to build a board. It is slightly your fault. Keep up the great work.
Thanks! Haha, I'm glad I could encourage you. I think you'll do well. Good luck!
Still thinking about what I'm goign to do for my board build :p Thanks for the update, has some good info!

Ok awesome. Thanks again for the help!
Very interesting analysis!
Thank you!
Great content & quality! Just modded my Meepo Board to 22.5" and 2 batteries :)
Thanks! Sounds like you made an awesome board. 22.5" is a short board :)
How much speed would you have with a 5000 mah battery?
I’m surprised that toggle switch hasn’t melted, might have to try that out, loop keys are annoying. You should build a belt drive board with a dual 6374 motors you already have the vescs
I opened the toggle switch once and the metal switch plate inside is very thick. I don't think it'll wear through anytime soon. Thanks for the suggestion, maybe I'll try that build some time. A pair of 6374 motors running at 12S would be crazy powerful :)
Oren's Projects Yeah you would be able to go up your test hill at 25 mph
is there a way i can can follow a written tutorial? i want to do it for the first time and i dont feel comfortable
Can I use this same deck but with the longboard components you used in your last build ?
Yes, all the components from the longboard build should comfortably fit on this deck.
How does it feel to ride that 32 inch deck? Any trouble with speed wooble? Have you skated much before you started e-skating?
I've always been used to riding 32" decks - with a kicktail. I just couldn't get used to a longboard. I keep the trucks a bit tighter than I would on a regular skateboard so speed wobbles haven't been a problem. I used to skateboard a lot growing up and was really into street skating.

I have the 90mm hub motors from your longboard but, I don’t know what deck I can put it on since all decks of interest I’m not sure if they will fit
Any advice?
Most decks should be fine just buy some riser pads just in case (not an esk8 builder yet just a regular skater)
robert ancillo is correct that most decks should be fine and you might need riser pads. The longboard trucks have 2 sets of holes to fit both longboard and standard size decks. If you go with a board that doesn't have cutouts over the wheels you might need to add risers to avoid the wheels hitting the deck when you make sharp turns.

How long is that deck?
32 inches. you say it in the video.
Yes, 32 inches :). I got it from skateshred.com
is this overall more powerfull than your longboard
No, the longboard is definitely faster and more powerful. The lighter weight and deck design are mostly what draws me more to this board. If I were starting over I'd probably stick to the same motors and ESC as the longboard.
what transmitter did you use?
It's made by a company called "Winning". I think this is the same one:

The new 3-speed remote would be a nice addition to this build: www.diyeboard.com/new-version-3-speed-mode-24ghz-mini-remote-controller-rc5-p-575.html
Thanks for the link. I'll have to check that out. Another speed would be nice!
could you pleas make a budget diy penny electric board?
I'll look into it and see if I can find a good smaller deck. A penny board has some challenges. It's difficult to fit the electronics and battery. Also, if using a dual motor system it would basically weigh as much as a standard board. The difference in weight of the deck is very small compared to the weight of the motors, batteries, and trucks. I built a 30" board in one of my earlier builds. I tried a 27" board and it felt too small. I think a standard 32-inch deck like in this build is a good balance.

How steep is actually that hill climb test hill.
I didn't measure it. I would describe it as a regular steep hill, not a crazy steep hill. I know that's not very specific. I'd say in general this board makes it up just about every hill. I can only remember 1 hill where I had to walk the board. The 90mm motors I used on the longboard build would be better for steep hills though.
Meepo board are cheap 270 from China 🇨🇳 and fast kind like urs
Meepoboard is a good option if you want a pre-build board. It all depends on preference. To me, things like light weight, easily interchangeable batteries, kicktail deck, and non-abrasive griptape are some important factors.
