Really appreciate your honesty in this video, rather than solely trying to make money you have genuinely helped inform people on a lower budget. I respect that. Thanks man
Amen to that! Just think if no one shared... there would be little advancement in the world, and we may just be arriving at the wheel by now.
hey the vesc featured in your video isn't on your website instead there is another vesc called vesc-x. if i use that one will it do the same thing or are there things i need to kow first?
I'm pretty sure that the vest-x is the new one, which works better and cleaner.
I like when you start putting your company to TH-cam, nice way to show your brand!
Now that you've a new VESC with increased price, would you mind making an updated video?
Helping people getting things done cheaper is a great way to get me as a subscriber. Great work!
You desever way more credit than what you get. This is a great idea and it should be taking off soon. I know you have a huge market and a huge competitor (Boosted Board) but you are way better than them. In my option you should send Casey Niestat one because I think he would unbox it and show it off and probably ride it and compare it to boosted (but there is no comparing to do because your product is way better.). You keep doing you and you will go far.
no not true he does it for every product it doesn't matter who sends it . hell he did it for a 16 year old kid . that made his first board . soooo yes you should send it asap
Are you going to make a video on how to make the skateboard using all these parts? It would be very helpful!
I bought a Raptor because you seemed like an honest and genuine guy making a helluva board. My experience since forking over the cash has been that yes indeed, you are an honest and genuine guy who makes a helluva board! I'm having quite a love affair with the Raptor -- holy shit, it's fun!!!
Awesome, thanks for sharing! a bit of details on what you open at the end would have been amazing !
hay bro i havent watched all ya vids yet...but this would be one off your best IVE SEEN......very.POSITIVE.&. INSPIRING.....THUMBS UP .
Dude, I've been looking for some website or blog/vlog where I could find all these information for so long now. Thanks for your work and sharing !!! I'll stop pushing as soon as I can afford everything :) Have a nice one !
So if you buy a longboard that comes with 60mm wheels do I need new trucks for my 83mm wheels or can I just replace the wheels and not the wheels and trucks?
Can u buy this stuff and build it so we have a tutorial with specs on things like speed and range
I didnt understand everything, because english is my second language.
The part with the skateboard mount confuses me.
So when i buy every piece of your video is that all I need?
I dont need to build sth out of metal by myself (3:51-4:30)
great video! Greetings from Germany
Can you make a video or show me how I can make a motor mount? I've tried once and failed...
Fantastic video! Is this setup capable of regen braking?
sweet decks...
would any 3s 5000mah lipos fit inside the enclosure?
awesome vid!
Want to buy your kits, but i live in denmark, so i cant buy it cause taxes
+SilverHelm19 it depends on the seller, but one possibility is to do a bank transfer and have him send it to you as a gift. So you dont have to pay for taxes :)
Isnt vesc made somewhere in eu??
See vedder.se
There is also hobbyking warehouse located in europe, so no taxes.
+SilverHelm19
Just ask a guy who lives in a US base to order them.
Shipments to US-bases all over the world are treated as shipments inside USA...the pentagon pays the transport...
Also if you don't directly know someone stationed in a base near by get some one you know indirectly. It's no biggy all the personell and soldiers do shipments from USA for lokals.
Yeah sure order items from eu to usa, pay taxes, and then again send to eu and pay taxes again...
Arek R.
It would off-course only work for ordering from US.
It's especially good for Whizards of the Cost stuff.
best electric sk8 board part vid on youtube
could you do a video of assembling this layout?
+Electric Skateboard Builder THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!
I was looking for a way to make a cheap and reliable board for just this price range. Thanks a lot man!
Can this motor also go in reverse as a break?!
Would you recommend the melon board
Yes! Sweet! Gonna build this thing! I watched some other video's but they didnt came close to this bang for your buck!
do the Paris trucks need to be modified for the enertion pulley system?
I've built a drone before. The drone had ESC's but also had a flight controller. The receiver for the handheld transmitter on an electric skateboard build hooks directly into the ESC?? That is enough to have speed control as well as braking? What about regenerative brakes? Does one need a sort of "Drive Controller" to hook the ESC up to in order to have variable speed and or brakes and or regenerative braking?
urbamover
This is a really cool video! you sell most of it yourself but you tell people to go to hobby king, that's honesty right there.
I wish I could afford your carbon board tho :)
very useful video , any idea how to balance charge all batteries at once?
how does this set up work on bad wet weather and dirt?
Thanks a lot for the video
I just wanted to know if the pulley fits the motor?
Love the ending. I want some of that nose and tail protection for my Raptor when Im not using it. Why didn't they ship the last batch like that last time. Must be such a relief for you.
Can you do another vid of actually setting up the vesc and motors through bldc tool. Step by Step. Yourve done vids on the hardware and electronics, but my hurdle is how to get the vesc talking to motor at start. Theres vids on vesc settings to fine tune. Just think theres one step missing. Vedders vids dont seem to be as clear for me. Yourve very vids are you improving all the time.
sooooo. what do you think about the blink board ?
What about a mountain board could I do the same to it as well as a skateboard
what are some other batteries i can use for this build?
Hey man, just wondering whether you know much about the wiireceiver? Instead of using the remote you suggested could i use a wii remote?
Nice vlogs man! keep it up!
I would love to see some videos business related. For example, budget management and entrepreneurship in general
What if you want to build a dual Motor board for off roading. What parts would you recommend?
finally they managed to do good packaging!
+Enertion Electric Skateboards Can I buy wheels(no trucks/bearings), vesc, and gear drive? How long to ship to Canada
so what you just recommended for the batteries, motor and the vesc wont overheat.
Can you please list the parts required in the description?
Do you know of any replaceable batteries, so when you're riding you can replace it when it runs out?
Good for you brother! Please the people, and the business will come!! I have a question man..!? Can you tell me if "dampened light" ( blheli's version of active braking) is a good enough braking system for a board or do I need something like a castle creation's car esc with actual braking (CC has a GUI that lets you adjust the braking from hard to very timid but not as timid as dampened light would be) - I own both esc's one 60amp and the CC is for an 1/8 scale buggy so fairly high I'm guessing (~100amp) .. Also the suggested amp rating for an esc would be greatly appreciated! - the knowledge will be spread brother, thank you!!
You want to over take boosted boards? See if you can figure out a powered snow board. I live in Colorado and get snow a good 7+ months out of the year sometimes and paying this much money for a board that can't get very wet or work at all in snow sucks. Is it possible to make a board with a couple tracks on the front and a belt instead of wheels to ride in the snow?
How do you feel about meepo boards?
can i make it water resistant for this price ?
How far will it go and how fast
With this build how fast can it go ? and whats the total distance it can go ?
8:20 Thank you Mr. China Factory!
im trying to follow ur instructions . i do want to install the 4 batteries but i got lost on the connecting them in series and then in parallel. how is that done .. ? thanks
How can you make a switch to turn the board on and off?
Seems like all the parts on Hobby King are backordered. Some people in the comments on the site say that the parts haven't been restocked since April! Any other place to buy these all in one shot? Amazon only has some.
do those motor controllers support some kind of braking ?
can shark wheels be used?
what about building a 4WD electric street long board???
That's what I want to do...with hub motors, do they make control board and controls that sync and work???
Hello.
Would be nice, if you add some links to description.
Thx.
what is the difference between the hobbyking motor and the enertion bigboy motor aside from the price?
is possible to make electric longboard on the drop down longboard
What if you got those thunder power 100c batteries ?
I'm just asking because I know with my rc heli the more c you have the faster the power runs through so faster speed up and speed down, no speed increase just 0-60 quicker
***** I was just wondering if those motor's you sell on you duel board have a C rating though I know some motors cant go over like 40+
How quick is it?
Any views on DC motors? One (Evolve methinks) whizzed past me the other day and it was so quiet compared to the AC "whine".
+Marc Cawood My evolve board is pretty quiet but it does get progressively louder the faster you go, but it is satisfying to hear... like a car engine but not.
He said two small batteries and join them together anyway I can just get one big one?
Do you still have the files for the motor mounts?
What deck is that !
Hi, one question, if i buy the mono drive mech kit, reciver and controller form your website, and the motor,batterys, charger form hobbyking (i already have a deck) would be easy to set it up? I dont have any knowledge of electronics or programming, but if i follow your instructional video i could do it? Awesome video btw
Do you sell premade dual motor mounts?
what's the range gonna be?
Mhhh I have some questions. 1 The Big controller looks ugly :( Can I buy the Energien controller ? And how fast is it ?
Can you make a video on how to make a dual motor one or one with better range? or both? there are a lot of options ....what would be best..
Do you have your products here in USA? or a store that sell them...
your channel is awesome and i know your going to get many subscribers in the future, what makes your channel different is showing us how much work goes in to having your own business, and how informative you are to your audience and your customers, I actually purchased a VESC for the March batch but never received anything, sent an email and no reply, then i finally ran in to what happened on the forum, sorry to hear about the complications you ran into with this batch, being that your the only person having to do everything makes it difficult to reply to everyone, Hope things get better and i cant wait to receive my VESC :)
I used PayPal and messaged through Pay Pal, I've still haven't gotten anything in the mail, are they still taking time to be made?
When building the electric skateboard can you use a pennyboard's original trucks, or do i need to buy different length trucks?
Dose it have a break?
question, the motor you recommend has a 6mm shaft with no key slot. Your 12mm pulley system has an 8mm hole and key slot to match your motor. Amy suggestions? We bought the motor mount, pulley system and vesc from Enertion. Thanks.
can i replace the hobbyking controller with karma nunchuck ? and awesome vid by the way, thank to it i decide to build one
+Enertion Electric Skateboards thanks much, how ab regular nunchuck with bluetooth, im an arduino geek so maybe i give it a try, i saw some guy on youtube did it with bluetooth i just dont know how well it performs ?
So how do I connect them in series?
Btw, where can I find your boards? I plan on getting one for my son on his birthday, if they're not too expensive lol.
Thank you! Bought the entire kit. SO cheap :D
Hello there,
If i bought a single motor kit and vesc from enertion, then all i need is a controller, batteries and battery charger?? what other cables and wiring knowledge do i need??is it reasonably simple after that stage??
and of course a deck.
Thanks so much. Sorry I'm such a noob aha
can you put the zippy flightmax 5000 on the vesc from enertion? and how can you put 2 zippy flightmax 5000 together and connect it with the vesc?
About how fast will this go? in mph
why did emerson discontinue some of this stuff?
Can I put two 6 s lipos with the vesc
do they have some parts on ebay
Hey! I'm a little bit lost with the electronics. Would the setup still work with a SK3 - 6374-192kv ?
i listen to this video and i have a little extra money and i am getting four batteries and i am wondering what would i need to do to connect all four batteries to the vesc hope you can get back to me
hi, do you lot deliver to the UK without the import tax?
hey mate what is the song used at the end of the video? thanks :-)
Do you sell electric long boards?
how fast can it go
Can you control two motors from one VESC or do you need two?
+Enertion Electric Skateboards Thanks!
Hi! At first sorry for my bad English.
My problem is so:
I have Arbor Arbor Zeppelin premium KOA, i love this board! And i love truks with double (i dont know the real name of this thing) kinks. But i won to do electric board. What you can suggest me? what do you think about in-wheel motors?
TKX
What a great video! I've spent the last 3 or 4 hours watching videos on your site and it's incredible. Up until this evening I was ready to part with $1,500 on an Evolve GT Bamboo but have been reluctant to spend that much on a belt motor board as it seems as though hubs will take over but NEED an electric board in the meantime and having watched this video have jumped on your website and bought the mono drive mech kit - I got it in your sale so thank you again for that! I actually have all of the pages open too in HobbyKing that you suggested and for another $230 i can buy the motor, batteries and remote. I know i still need the vesc but that's crazy cheap!! $520 and i have most of the parts (oh and minus the deck!)! What's cool too, is that i can slowly buy the parts and build the cost up gradually and my wife will never know!! :-D
I'll hit the forums but would would be a good choice of vesc? I'm guessing the vesc-x would be the way to go right? Are the other options available?
Anyways, regardless, awesome vid, I'll be sure to watch more and keep up the good work!!!
+Electric Skateboard Builder thanks for the additional advice - that should be plenty of info to get me started! :D
Btw, I've just stared watching your vlogs from the beginning and I reckon you live just up the road from me - I'm in Kingston Park. I'll have to ride over and show you my creation once is finished!! ;-)
Another question, If I buy the batteries you recommend in the video, should I go with the smaller motor on a monodrive system? I weigh 105 lbs. Thanks.
Awesome video man! But how much would it cost to get 4x4 drive and how hard is it to mount?
***** But 4x4 in wheel motors shoudn't be so much weight, right? Is it the battery that weighs alot? Thanks for you reply btw
hello do you have a VESC that can run two motors? thanks
can you do a tutorial on how to make it
Great video!
Does anyone know what you can use to protect the battery's and electronics under the board?
I want to but your speed controller. However, is there a small enclosure for your controller because I dont want it to get dust or moisture and ruin it. At least point me on the right direction for purchasing the enclosure.
do you sell the motor mount premade?
Love your stuff. I am subscribed. Small comment. Leave the link to your business in the descriptions. You are going to do well because, aside from a bunch of Chinese companies selling mass produced boards, you offer some cool personalized info. Keep up the good work!
hey man, the vesc that you feature in your video is not on your website , instead there is a "vesc x"'. can i use that one with all the other parts?
Hi
I'm looking to build a elc bord with this motor can I have 2 as a duel motors, will they fit side by side what size trucks will I need for a duel with them, and the battery's you sow how many will be ok for running over a hour.
thanks for any help on this.
Hey man really enjoyed the video and have a question about pre-made boards, i already have an evolve bamboo street electric board and have been loving every second of it, don't really need to say but its uphill performance could be better as it is a one wheel drive board.
So my question is can you modify a stock electric board? something like upgrading it to a two wheel drive or replacing the motor.
Thanks
