    Today we review mistakes that all Esk8 builders should do their best to try to avoid. Doing enough research, carefully purchasing parts, practicing standard build methods, and working in a clean and safe space will help you out tremendously. Nobody likes to have to ship back incorrect parts half way through their DIY Electric Skateboard build.
    ... Please keep your ESC off of carpet. Thank you so much.

    Waterproofing! I've twice fried esc's from small puddles that let ingress just enough water to cost me. Now I use a liberal amount of GE plastic sealant to all seams, stays flexible and seals it up tight! Haven't had an issue since and can now ride through heavy rain without worry. Next upgrade is ceramic bearings to really make my board waterproof ⛈

    I have flipsky vx4 remote and FSESC4.20 and the 6368 190kv motors, recently I had a fire in my efc. And the flipsky set up works great but can tell from my remote that the efc gets to hot and the board needs to rest. This day I pushes it hard and I caught fire. Since the I added a fan and air holes to my efc box. But why dose my electric mountainboard need break and maybe why or how come by efc box caught fire? Thanks

    Hi,
    After installing new Boardnamics BN M1-AT Gear Drive on my Lacroix electric skateboard 12s4p p42a 21700 molicel and replacing motors from 6389's to 63100's the board would not charge. Charger showed green as if fully charged but was no charge left.
    After downloading the xiaoxiangBMS app it started to charge properly again!
    But now It will not charge again. The battery shows fully charged in xiao & stormcore app and shows green light on charger again but it is not fully charged.
    I'm seeing:
    - a MOSFET software locked alarm
    and also:
    - A cell over voltage protection alarm

    I've not made this mistake myself but a good one to avoid is Miss judging your wheel size my board comes with 73 Mill Wheels I'm about to upgrade but the setup I want has 120 Mill Wheels on the rear think about the size difference that represents it would jack up my rear and lower my front end so I'm going to need to purchase new front wheels as well just to keep things on a level in addition to that the rear come with a lift plate which I will also need to purchase for the front again to keep my wheels the same height

      You need to get the ones which are connected to ground, like in your outlet or the body of the heat radiator in you room.

    • @MarkusBenjaminAnders
      @MarkusBenjaminAnders 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      If you only have two wires from your motor it's probably not brushless, meaning you don't need an esc (if that's what you meant by controller). A brushless motor needs an esc for timing the current of the phases, a brushed motor (like the one you likely have) only needs a voltage controller like a variable resistor or pwm controller. Hope this helps. PS, make sure to get components that are compatible (electric-wise) so you don't burn out your circuits or cause damage to the battery. Stay safe

      It can be cheaper right away depending on the build. But many times your savings begin to be more obvious as you upgrade your build or make repairs.

      We always recommend DIY as you can always out spec a prebuilt board if you build one yourself. This way you can always upgrade in the future if you need even more power.

    Ill tell you the mistake I avoided. Coming from a IT/Software Engineer/Electrician background (I use my soldering gun to work often for small quick projects),I really wanted to build a board.
    Then reading up and realizing that I'll never want to build an electric Skateboard 🛹 , because as a working professional with a family, I'm far better off spending the money for a really good pre-built eskate. Allowing me to enjoy my new eskate hobby while still allowing time for me and my family.

      DIY to me doesn't consist of bolting a few parts and plugging them in. That's not DIY in any sense. Making the devices from the constituent parts is DIY. This guy effectively sells an expensive kit to transform a board into an electric one! All I said is don't use him for parts get your own from aliexpress for cheaper. Be honest to the viewer explaining how there are other options available. Simple!
