Upgrading to the SKP Solo ESC! - (Inazuma 稲妻: Phase Two - Pt. 1)

Today, we start up Phase Two of the Inazuma Raceboard series. Phase two will be focused on increasing the power of the board, making it into a true weapon on the track. As I increase the power, I'll have to learn and grow with the board, in order to push it to its limits. In this video, I'll be swapping out my MakerX escs for the new SKP solo from Skyart Power.
The Skyart Power SOLO is a new ESC coming to us from the trusted hands of its designer, Shaman, through the company called Skyart Power. Skyart Power is run by Artem V. and produces tons of batteries in different shapes, sizes, and all variety of power limits. Often regarded as one of the best custom battery builders, it's awesome that they were able to put up the $ to make this awesome ESC.
The Solo esc is a drvless, but still VESC-based, ESC for electric skateboards or other high power applications where you need to drive brushless motors using the versatility of VESC Tool. This ESC is actually just two single ESCS connected up on a big heatsink and connected together using CANbus. This is a great way to do things, allowing for users to purchase a single for Onewheels, or other applications. You can check out the SKP solo at their website here: skyartpower.com/products/skp-...
Big shoutout to Artem for giving me a discount to show off this awesome ESC and promote it on my channel. Since the making of this video, I've done about 150 miles of racing with it, and it's been awesome. Excellent power output and very reliable. It does get quite hot though, so I would recommend exposing the heatsink fins to open air. This will be done in a future video!

Lol magic esc

[@MadDonJuan]

Nice, you should Balance then wheels, you be surprised on how much a difference it makes

[@RBEMotion]

They are a bit smoother now than they were when I made this video, I don't really notice any imbalance. Still meaning to try some weights at some point

[@MadDonJuan]

@@RBEMotion I noticed the shake on the trucks when accelerating, should not bibrate at all when well balanced, you will feel less rolling resistance after you balance them well. Ines I figured this out 3-4 yrs. Ago I always recomend, got a video on my channel..

[@RBEMotion]

@@MadDonJuan Hm yeah I didn't notice too much but I'll keep an eye out
