- I decided to try something different and build a belt drive board. The total cost varies a bit depending on where you buy everything but it should be around $300 or less. The weight of the board with batteries is a little over 11 lbs.
Here are the parts:
ESC with remote (10S voltage, belt motor/brushless motor):

Other motor mount option (I use this on my newest belt-drive board - may require grinding the trucks):

This is just the mount:

Trucks (9” requires grinding):

Trucks (10” shouldn’t require grinding):
www.amazon.com/Caliber-Trucks...
I used these FS 150mm trucks with the ebay motor mount on my newer build. I needed to grind them similarly to trucks in this video:

skateshred.com also has other skateboard stuff like hardware, risers, and a skate tool.
These bearings are decent:

Wtf bro he just stole your board and you are so chilled. I would be mad af...
It's an excuse to build a better one
There's an old adage that all experienced skateboards LIVE by. The board you love sits at your home, or under your arm. If you don't follow that, you're gonna have a bad time.
This video helped me out soo much. I found out that I have bought parallel connector instead of series connectors so that was a life savor!!
It has to look good at least once, legendery quote...thanks for the upload
Awesome job and very well explained, on a very simple and straightforward way. Thank you!
I just finished watching all of your videos and they were really good. I hope you make more someday. You've inspired me to build a board.
Thank you for making this video! I took it as an inspiration and today I have my own working e-longboard!
This is an excellent tutorial. Video and audio are nice and clear and you are a natural teacher. I didn't find it too long at all, and you answered all the questions I had. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks! I'm glad it was helpful and not too long.
Thanks! I'm glad it was helpful and not too long.
This is one of the best guides out here, and will probably build one just like this. Although your video states some of these, i want to make sure i have them straight.
-Are the batteries in parallel or series? if either what would you recommend?
-i have a few RC cars and i have a lipo balance charger, how would i charge these in the parallel or series cofig?
-does it matter what wheels you have? if so, could you specify?
-I don't have a grinder and i don't plan on getting one so if there are any trucks that don't need grinding that would be much appreciated.
Thank you so much in advance to anyone who can help a first time builder out. I would really appreciate it.
The Sistema containers are ace, they work really well! I thank you for sharing that idea. I modified my board with 4 of the square ones, after my battery case snapped, 3 for my batteries to go in and 1 for the controller, I had to split my battery into 3 parts, I put the cells into holders and soldered them rather than weld the cells back together, now I can swap cells out on the fly to go further and the board has some flex now too.
I’ve seen all your videos. I would love to see you get back it friend. Your videos have helped inspire me.
I'd recommend using a motor with a keyway on the shaft to ultimately prevent the slipping. Also if you found one that could fit, a keyless bushing between the pulley and motor shaft might work best
Love the DIY board stuff. im thinking of making one my self. I think the containers could use a little black spray paint to bring the look together.
Nice tutorial, good that you keep things simple so many people can replicate :)
this exactly is the perfect build ive been looking for
Great video. Sorry for your loss.
Nice video! Detailed and short to the point. Well done!
This vid was really helpful for me to choose some parts for my board. Thanks!
excellent explanation and appreciate the small tips that i will no doubt run into in my diy, thank you
My man. Love your videos. Please, keep doing what you do.
Thanks for the support!
I'm really looking forward to the test video. I hope you will make the same tests as with the hub motors. Great video!
so awesome dude! Thanks for making this video, I'm going to give this a go!
I'm going to use this video as a referance when i build mine, thanks so much such a great video.
let me know when you build your's. i wanna know what you use and if you had any problems
funki GENIOUS!!!!! thnks for your knowledges!!!
Thx for the video! Hope the Kid who stole your board will recognize that he has to change his thoughts!
the length is good it explain a lot
You are the best youtuber You inspired me to start a youtube channel and follow my passion about electronics and robotics I hope
someday to be my subscriberYou are the best
Great video !
I would look for a splash guard for that thing, to many openings for water to seep into. I'm definitely building one, thanks for all the good info.
This was an awesome video!
Hey Oren do you buy any chance have a link for your flywheel and the pulley gear for the motor ?
Great videos !! thanks for making it, i will make my own E board .
Well impressed with the narrative and your skills (note I can't even put nails in a wall to hang a picture...) clever build, not sure id trust battery pack and esc to be safe from the elements but hey I'm sure you had fun and satisfaction to put it all together!
Thanks! Yeah, I would not use this setup in the rain. Skateboards generally don't hold up well in wet conditions.
I really hope there be a part2 fingers crossed......
ty so much bro.. you are such a legend
WHEN YOU SAID YOU CANT GO WRONG WITH BLACK I SUBSCRIBED .GREAT CONTENT
THE RETURN OF OREN!!! And with a great video. That ^%$# who stole the board should never have a happy day for the rest of his life! I look forward to the next video with the blue-wheeled replacement. Great work!
Thanks Mike! You're very encouraging! Yeah, it sucks about the stolen board. I'll try not to take so long with the next video.
Hi Oren. How did the replacement board work out in the end? Did the motor mounting and bracketry hold up well on the non-Caliber trucks?
You can put rubber padding between the board and the containers before you screw it in to help waterproof it
What kind of speed and range do you get with this setup?
Looks like mar vista, California. So many homeless and junkies running around (Venice crowd). You should send the footage to Venice high and see if they recognize the kid. I’ve had tons of my stuff swiped. Always be aware, never leave anything out. I build my own belt driven board. So much fun.
very well made vid
YEA BEEN WAITING AGES FOR THIS VID.
Solid video as usual. Its not a short vid but thats not a bad thing. For people who haven't watched any of your other videos and need a guide on how to make an electric board theres pretty much everything they could need. I look forward to the testing video, am interested in the pros and cons v hub. I cant decide if I want to actually go ahead and start building a belt or wait and buy hub motors later.
I still want to try 3d printing my mount and stuff. I got flexible filament to see if I can even print the belt but I havent done it yet because idk if the 3d printed parts are going to suck or not lol. But I do feel like belt has the ability to be much cheaper, and a single belt should out perform a single hub because you can use a much bigger motor.
Thanks! Sorry it took so long. I'll try to get the comparison video out soon. Yeah, I think a single belt setup could definitely out perform a single hub motor. 3D printing a battery container would be nice! Maybe you can create something that's the correct size for the batteries, strong enough, and also easy to open for battery swapping. That's something I haven't been able to find. For the belt it might be easier to buy one. I think they're pretty cheap and need to be very strong.
im going to be 41 when your parts arrive
How long did it take to get your parts?
@@michaelculhane3058 when he will turn 41
very nice video, well detailed. does the board come to a complete stop when you break? or does it go reverse like the boosted
Love those videos. NIce!
hey was wondering what chagrin solution you came up with for the skateboards
Easy too the ear and eye.
Thnx
Thanks, i learn a lot
How do you charge your lipo?? Its too much hassle plugging and unplugging the batteries to charge using imax charger
Hi Oren, can you tell me the ESC that you used. Is it the 24 volt or 36 volt? Thank you..
I’m using the dual motor version of this 10s dicky ho esc with 2 of the same 170kv motors without the hall sensors plugged in. If I plug them in will I get smoother braking? Will I lose power? Could it be dangerous if the hall sensor fails?
Hey, Oren. I was wondering -- here in 2019, now! -- whether the second board required you to grind a truck too or did you find a different truck with the right shape for the motor mount?
why not just get caliber 2 trucks? they are a staple for most DIY builds and there are soild mounts out there for those trucks
Awesome, thank you!
Thank you, you're a genius✌
So I'm looking at this, but I can't seem to figure out which wheels I need to use or what keywords to use?
Hey man ! Amazing video ! May I ask , how long can you drive with those battery ?! 15km ?! Thanks
I was going to build such a board you have built. but i live in sweden where an electric board max can run at 20 km / h which corresponds to about 12 mph. do you have any tips on how to build or edit the engine for 20 km / h (12mph)?
Do you find these wheels hard, I have just put them on my 2nd build and it seems really rough. Don’t know if it’s the wheels or something else making it a harsh ride
I suggest using rubber washers to mount the motor controller, it will dampen vibration
Maybe some through bolts with tapered heads might hold your stuff on a little better great video thanks
Superb.
Keep it up 👍👍👍
So you did not use anything else other that the ESC.. as a board or compu?
how do you connect the two batteries to become one a plug into the esc
Whats the battery life and milage like one one of these?I think I might of missed that part. And what if I wanted the double up on the batteries if I decided to get the longest 50" board, is that possible?
We all hope for more videos in this season. 😉
Hey I'm hoping you can get back to me! Did you have to modify your esc in anyway or was it as simple as plug and go? I need help because mine won't start and I'm not sure why but it's slightly different than yours.
On ebay it says the motor, has 18-24v but the battery your using adds up at 37v.??
Also does it matter if my battery is a 5s lipo instead of your 5s1p.
When is the second part coming out? must be a really great video if its taking this long. or he is just busy with his house still.
hahaha
install a GPS to track the board.
I already have a longboard with wheels and trucks and bearings, but the problem is that my wheels don't have holes. Do you have a solution ?
Where did you get your power switch? Does it leak any charge when off?
The Tupperware custom container is clever, could use durable take-out containers if one feels like cutting a cost corner.
What size drillbit did you use to drill the hole for the truck
Does connecting the motor only to one side make the skateboard drive crooked?
How did you pair the remote to the esc? I have no idea how to
I hope you make a follow up video soon... 5 months later
Hey, Oren. I got all of the right parts but my ecs board always says low battery when my batteries are freshly charged. I bought this one from amazon, but i copied and pasted the info from the ebay one bc ebay one took too long to ship.
Hey I was just wondering how far can this board go on a single charge? I would like to build my own however I'm not sure if I need larger batteries or if these will be sufficient enough. I love your videos keep up the great work :)
Matus Dinus keep extra batteries in your bag
I love your video man please make more and have you ever considered 3d printing a protective case to house everything?
Thanks! I'll try to get them out more often :) I don't have a 3d printer now. That would be a good thing to try though. I'll probably do that at some point. For these builds I try to use things other people could easily get to make their own board.
Great video man! I'll follow this step by step when making mine but I want to go for a 12s battery and ESC, since I want it to be crazy fast.
190KV should be fine for a dual motor I was told.
A 12s system will fry the esc, go for 10s as it will still be crazy fast. I would also recommend if you’re going to go for a dual motor setup use two 280kv motors. One of these motors was enough to accelerate an 85kg person to 35km/h quite easily and me who is lighter to go at a top speed of 42km/h. So two of these with a 10s battery will be crazy powerful. If you want any help ill give some tips :)
@@brendanoconnor4802 hey can i maybe get some help? im wanna build an e scakteboard with a belt driven motor. is that one a good one?: www.ebay.de/itm/170KV-C6374-efficience-Burstenlos-motor-fur-Elektro-skateboard-Longboard-2900W/163597762676?hash=item26172fc074:g:F-8AAOSw6d9clZFm
@@brendanoconnor4802 hi...sorry for bothering after all this time...i'm building one...would this single motor alone shown in the video accelerate me (77kg) to 30kmh? What was your single motor size and kv? Trying to optimize costs and go for the bare minimum without burning it
Hi, I’m curious if those eBay esc like you’re using have adjustable speed when riding. Like is it just on/off switch on the remote or is it adjustable? Thanks 🙏
It's adjustable according to how much you push the trigger on the remote.
In what job do you do similar things as in the video? I love to build and innovate!!
How do you brake? Do you click the reverse button?
If the motor hits the deck and ts the kind of motor where outside spins wont it bind up on the deck , just add the risers . Maybe carve the botom of the board for clearance and not even need risers
Fun video thx. And sharpies fix everything
Hi can you tell me where to find any manual about that esc or any information thanks
If I can build s tube guitar amp, I think I can build this too....really helpful thanks!
yep same here from electronics to a real hot burNING WHEELS RIDE BITCHAZ
Risers give the trucks a little boost but they also help reduce stress and pressure cracks on the board. I tried no risers several times and my board always ended up getting tons of pressure cracks. Don't get me wrong though risers or no risers you will naturally have some pressure cracks but they can be reduced.
Hey, thanks for the video. I'm a little confused on which parts in your description I should load into my cart entirely. It looks like there are some duplicate parts? Would you be able to send me a parts list for one specific build? Thanks so much for the video!!
Hello, can you install a handle throttle to the esc?
Perfect.
Hey I just found your channel and I love it! Your explanations and reviews are really awesome and I am kind of sad you havent posted a video for a while. I hope you will do some more soon :) I want to build a portable mini esk8 board that is strong uphill and your videos help me a lot!
I already have a 400-watt 1 wheeled electric board I need to put two 400-watt wheels on it will I have to change the control box which one should I get in the UK
nice review, for this small skate and type of motor mount 50series motor would be more nicer even !
Hi guys. I saw that the batteries used in this build are same from hobbyking. My question: Is it the same to put two 5s brushless motors for rc car?
Awesome you may have just inspired me to build one and buy one. Electric skateboard I mean. Ha
great build vid! wish I had watched this before my first. please get some skate shoes. your not old but it looked like my dad riding my board with those running shoes. sorry I highly recommend Globe
What was the size of your skateboard? The link does not work anymore. Planing to build a board but i want some simple colors because the electronics on the bottom will cover it anyways
