Parts list in the description! Some substitutions have been for your benefit (the motors linked here have keyways filed in already, batteries are even higher discharge, VESC speed controllers and trucks are higher quality).

I'm local in Seattle and am more than willing to full throttle test it for you. Very experienced in longboarding. Regularly go 40-65mph

I'm 57yrs. old. been skating for over 50 yrs. with the best skaters around. always a need for speed with no fear. had a few downhill runs of over 80mph. fastest 86.7 when a cop gave me a speeding ticket. had a weedeater skate back in the late 80's. went 30-35. wanted to find another. maybe because I'm impatient I couldn't find one with the same qualities, small engine, SIMPLE, fast etc.. did I say I was impatient? ok. came across DIY video. HAD to get it. I GOT IT! DUAL MOTORS. I put the skate together with my own deck with a kick tail. needed this because I wanted to have more control. the only problem I had and have now is to program the motors. did I say I was an 'eddiot' (my name is eddie)on the computer. I brought the board to a computer store and this young kid hooked it up. did he ever! first I found out how much power it has. next, how much acceleratation. they say that they couldn't find arider to go open throttle. I know why. I only got up to 45 and still had throttle left. hell, you can be going 25 and punch it and still fly off the back. oh yeah, impatient so I didn't read much. found out it has a brake. if I knew that I wouldn't have got that ticket running the red light. I'll post a video soon. eveready..

Now that’s what I’m talking about! What a great video 👍 11/10

This inspired me on my build. 1 year in and I still cant do full throttle either. Its a beast. I do have 1 important recommendation. Make sure you run auxiliary 12s to 5v type sbec to power your RX / direct from your batteries because 60% throttle can cause the VESC to drop the 5v below your RX's threshold and force it into fail safe. Fail safe on my RX keeps the last commanded throttle signal for 1 full second before shutting down. In my case it was still flying in the air at 30mph before it cut off. I was tore up for a few weeks. Def glad I wore a helmet!

Man, at 2:23 you answered so many of my questions. There seems to be such a range of performance on different boards with similar motor wattage and voltage levels, so the differences really might just be all in the battery/esc setup.

YES, videos like this are amazing! Great work!!

Just ordered my wowgo 2s today... Your board is sick! Would love half that power on a board. Thx for the vid!!

“no one has full throttled it yet” *hold my beer*

50mph that is insane! Also kudos to you guys for being all smart an stuff

I can't believe, I watched this video on the first week it was uploaded and at the time had myself a Boosted Mini X. Now im riding a Diy board i build a 12s 6p setup with 6374 dual motors with a top speed of 45mph. Im also running All Terrain tires 200mm X 50mm.

Can't wait for you to post the parts list!

Can you please make a viedeo how to build one? Would be great thx 👍

Definitely need a build video for this... Also if you can do something similar but a little more budget friendly. Awesome.

Nice and loving the UW shots

just saw both of your videos, keep going they are great, you should soon have many more subscribers!. Really amazing board this one, crazy!

I subbed, please post more videos on this build and a full parts list. Also the gearing and how you did the bypass. I live in Miami and I use my boosted board a lot to travel and it’s just to slow wit very little mileage. I’ll love to give this a try. Thank again and I’m looking forward to the future !

This channel deserves more attention

super wicked video guys! subbed!

I love the build, but I would recommend giving a dual diagonal setup a try. That means putting one of those massive motors on the front truck driving one wheel, and the other on the rear truck driving the opposite wheel. Much like an all wheel drive car, this configuration offers greater stability, smoother braking and acceleration. Give it a go! It might be able to tame this rear wheel drive monster.

The MBS wheels made me watch, and your genius made me subscribe. I need this in my life.

Wow that's pretty insane... super cool

Wow that's crazy awesome!!!! Please have the build video!!!!!

Ok ladies and gents get ready for the closest thing to a full tutorial that youll get. Ive suffered through this, being my first build as well. All those parts that they have up there? Solid, the description stuff is going to be what you want. Specific things that you will need additionally. MOST PARTS IN DESCRIPTION Y-connectors for connecting batteries a tool to charge the lipos (these need to be wired in series) a Y-connector for the VESCs (VESC is short for Vsome-dudes-name Electrical Speed Control) 3.5mm male bullets to 4mm bullets adaptors(these are the VESC pieces that connect to the engine, theyre not the same size) Saturing capabilities and equipment lots of time on youtube tutorials Basically what your going to want to do is get all of the things that they have linked in the description as well as each of the things that I listed above. Major things to look out for, make sure the engine you get is 8mm because that is the size of the mounting piece, you could probably just go to torque board and get their engines over hobbyskys. Once you have each piece you connect 2 of the batteries together creating 1 cell and wire up the remaining 2 cells to form another. Use the XT60 (yellow connector) for this as it is what the VESC uses. An additional note, buying the focbox unity will work better since it can run two motors with a single connection, eliminating some steps. Once you have your batteries set up, you will need a way to charge them. I cant help you if you want to use a BMS but another option is a hobby device that charges these batteries individually. Once you have your batteries set up, connect them with the Y connectors to form your cell. The board mounting kit etc will have other videos explaining them. Take the cells (2 sets of two if you get the vesc and 1 set of 4 if you get the unity) and attach the receiver node that comes with the controller to the small black piece that extends off of the ESC, with two VESCs you will need to place a Y-connector from one to another THEN connect the receiver to the new piece. The next part that youll have an issue with is connecting the engine to the VESCs. Youre going to need to get 3.5mm male bullets to 4mm female bullets if you use their listed parts. Now your engine is connected to the VESCs that are connected together by a Y-cable that connects to the black pieces off of both, each of these are powered by 2 sets of 2 connected 5Ah 50c batteries. Watch a video about how to mount your motor to the board. I got this information the hard way and I only hope to help someone in the future so that they will not have my experience.

Skate metric a parts list would be great for me as I’m lookin to build one. And a mountain board . Thanks guys board looks and performs really well👍🏽

nice build

Subbed! Really interested on this build and wanting to learn how to diy my own board looking forward on your videos

Subscribed and ready for more!

Would love a walk through of how to go about building your monster of a DIY e-board. Looking to get into this for commuting and would love to keep up with traffic up Seattle hills.

This was a wonderful comparison! Production board vs DIY, when it comes to high performance and speed, marks usually will go to the DIY board. That's not to say that a production board like a Boosted is bad however. My favorite metaphor would be like buying a Toyota Camry vs a modified Mustang. The Toyota Camry is more turn-key and works great however will not always be the most exciting in regards to performance. The modified Mustang can hit crazy speeds but will take much more maintenance and tuning to be sure it's always in good shape. I look forward to seeing more from you guys. I thought this review was just what the esk8 community needed. It was very polished, full of scentific information, and yet very entertaining. New sub here 😁 - Neil

MORE OF THIS BOARD !!!

I have a similar setup. Dual 6374 sk3 16/32 gearing 97mm abecs. Top speed is around 43 mph with 180 lb rider. Wind resistance is a major factor when trying to achieve high speeds.

If you're selling I'm buying

That’s ace 😎👍🏻

Nice video man, subbed. Looking forward to content. I have just built a sk3 6374 powered board and my tourqboards vesc blew out and my hobbyking vesc blew out as well. Looking forward to installing my focbox.

can you make another video on this board please. it looks so cool

shame you dont ride it anymore looks like a lot of fun ! I want one

Great vid make more!

WHAAAAAAT?!?! YOU ONLY HAVE 3.4K SUBS!?! DUDE I THOUGHT U WERE LIKE A FAMOUS KZfaq CHANNEL + 1 SUB AMAZING AMAZING VID

I would really love to have one of those bords and I would go full throttle. 50 miles an hour sounds fun

well done guys this looks amazing but whats the battery specs and gearing?

Oh, Excelent Video!!

Thanks for using a volador deck, i have one and they are the best budget longboards out there

This was the board I considered the standard when I started on my own build. 12s4P 40T cells, 100A vesc6-based esc, dual 6380 170kv motors, and gearing has it limited to 43 mph. I've hit 40.8 🤪

awesome vid, can you pls upload a spec list?

I wouldn't mind riding with you guys on my ebike once in a while. I uhhh... May overdo my builds as well.

So was just a little curious how you programmed your speed ramp step or did you alter your current control for the gradual acceleration.

ill buy one

I got terrified just watching this video... 50mph?? DAMN DANIEL

I have wanted to build one for years best video ive seen wish the parts list was up to date ordering everything but the vesc page doesnt work

Please make a instructional video on how to make this board with the products listed in the description

Great video! I just subscribed. It would be awesome if you made a build video. I need to know about the bypass you mentioned.

i`ve build one after watching this video. Parts list: dual motor mechanical kit from diyelectricskateboard, 2x vesc 4.12, 2x 6374 192KV outrunners, 4x 3S 60C 6000mAh Lipos, 12S BMS. This thing was even faster than I expected. One time I got speed wobbles close to 40mph, disclocated/broke my left shoulder and had to get surgery done by a specialist, great fun! I have detailed pictures of the build, PM me if you are interested.

I’d love to build this! I’ve done 60mph riding just a regular downhill board, so I want to see how I’d handle that thing.

no doubt the board is more powerful than anything else. The tests in the video are on a wet road. Would be cool to see how well the motors perform in better conditions and if improving the board will improve overall stability, such as higher grit grip tape and a harder bushing. I see in the description the board is using some venom cones bushings. i would have went with tall barrels.

Hey There! Awesome Video! How do you bypass your bms for discharge? Do you literally remove it so that it has no effect on discharge? or is how you wired it?

this is so cool. ive been wanting to build my own for a very long time but i havent come up with the ideal combo of parts. can you possibly link them or make them available

Where can I find a video of wiring? I’m about to pull the trigger an order everything but I’m nervous

Must have!!!!

Nice vid, I subbed! Looking forward to your new videos! How much range do you get out of it?

I want it!!

This is wild, I just bought a boosted bored

Hey guys, great video. Is there a name for the type of dual drive motor set-up you used, where you have one motor behind the trucks and one in front? I have two Turnigy SK8 and they're too long to mount side by side on the TB 218mm trucks. I'd like to do some research as to this setup. Thanks.

Hey SkateMetric where are these trails at in the video I'm from Seattle as well and how long or how many miles is the trails you all were testing this DIY board on? Thanks

deu nice! Thais modelo nas electric brake??

How many amps does each motor pull at full load? The vesc link you have dosent work and i found a vesc pair from flipsky. So knowing the amps would be great

That thing is insane! Btw, I live in Seattle too and ready to build my first DIY board, if you have any suggestions for dealing with our rainy/hilly terrain I'm open ears. (Nice work on this channel!)

*Are the parts used in this board the same as in the descirption? I would build a similar one in one in the summer, but I'm just starting with this... What was the whole cost of this board?*

Its always rainy in Seattle

Very cool whats the distance you can get by running all four batterys

This is a great build I wish I had it but can't afford an eboard at the moment. I've built a board with my friend 4 years ago that did 40 or so but my setup was just terrible it was highly unpredictable. I probably can Max out the setup you have there I would just need to know how to build it.

What did you guys use for the battery enclosure? I'm trying to make one myself or if possibe get ahold of one.

I love it

I love to your video and you

Hey do you mind makeing a video on how to make the bored with all the parts listed above ?

How are you charging the batteries? I currently use lipos in my build but I have to use an RC charger. Your metion of a BMS got me interested. Cheers.

can you do a video on how to wire a bms to a 3 or 4 pack configuration

Hey @skatemetric did you use Dean T connectors or XT60 connectors for this build in particular??

Where are you located? On a good day with enough room I would volunteer to do some full speed tests. I am in Olympia Washington..

Is there any chance to get a layout on how you wired the hole build? Especially on how to connect 2 VESCs and bypassing a 12S BMS with Lipos.

You should come back to this board

do you still have the parts list for the original? ive got the same motors and im trying to do a build very similar cause im low budget

Hey guys, I really appreciate these vids but would be extremely grateful if you could tell me how you wired the 4 batteries. I ordered all the parts but am stuck on how to wire this beast. Please could you give a quick rundown on the battery setup??

yeah that craps all over my hummer e-skateboard. At least you showed me where to ride around seattle, looks like under Aurora bridge there. My video shows my beast.. not fast but you can see why. We should start a board cruise and get as many people onboard.

Your videos are fucking amazing make more!!! Especially about this MONSTER

just seeing this but I have a 60inch Koastal longboard. Want to get a powerful motor set up on it. I was thinking maybe even 4wd. What would you suggest? I have a 60", 56", and 39" PinTail.

Paul from Michigan, can you create a setup like that for a mountain board that's what I want electrify I appreciate I answer back thank you.

So with the new parts list will the board still go 40 mph also what is the range on something like this

I want to build the beast. Any chance of a total parts list and step-by-step?

Do you need a bms for charging or can you just individually charge each battery pack?

Please make a how-to build video for this board. I downhill skate and am confident that with modification I could get the full use of the motor's power.

SkateMetric Do you have a range estimate on the board? And also an updated parts list?

Can yu guys make a video of the 12s battery and bms bypass hook up

Nice vid, subbed. How did you bypass the bms for charging only? Seems like lipos are the way to go for power if you can do this.

I think I'm gonna build this, i already have a DIY board that tops 30 and it's getting old. Do u guys have any VESC recommendations

Hey guy's sorry need your help again so do you have 6s lipos going to each vesc or 12s lipos connected to both vesc, thanks in advance..

Could you use a similar drop deck and some off road wheels?

If you guys are based in Seattle, we should collab! Great video!

I need it.

Check out the miles dual, I think it may blow you away for the size, power, weight, range, and price
