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):
www.ebay.com/itm/single-motor...
6374 Motor:
www.ebay.com/itm/C6374-high-e...
Motor mount for Caliber II trucks:
www.amazon.com/Premium-Electr...
Other motor mount option (I use this on my newest belt-drive board - may require grinding the trucks):
www.ebay.com/itm/DIY-electric...
This is just the mount:
www.ebay.com/itm/CNC-motor-lo...
Trucks (9” requires grinding):
www.amazon.com/Caliber-Trucks...
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:
www.skateshred.com/trucks-who...
Deck:
www.skateshred.com/wholesale-...
skateshred.com also has other skateboard stuff like hardware, risers, and a skate tool.
These bearings are decent:
www.skateshred.com/longboard-...
Two 5S / 3Ah batteries
hobbyking.com/en_us/zippy-fli...
hobbyking.com/en_us/xt60-seri...
5Ah battery option
hobbyking.com/en_us/turnigy-b...
The price and availability of LiPo batteries seems to fluctuate. Check around the internet from time to time to see what’s on sale. I would recommend 5S voltage with 3Ah or more capacity.
Other battery options (may not fit in the container above)
hobbyking.com/en_us/turnigy-3...
hobbyking.com/en_us/turnigy-4...
Container for batteries (for 3Ah batteries used in this build):
www.target.com/p/sistema-klip...
Container for batteries (for 5Ah batteries used in updated hub motor build):
www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...
Amazon may not carry them anymore
www.houzz.com/product/9190957...
Containers for ESC:

Griptape (rubber):
www.homedepot.com/p/TrafficMA...
Griptape (carpet):
www.homedepot.com/p/TrafficMA...
Spray adhesive:
www.homedepot.com/p/Loctite-1...
Screws and washers can be found at most hardware stores like Home Depot:
sheet metal screws: #6 x 1/2”
flat washers: #8
B6AC v2 LiPo Balance Charger:
www.ebay.com/sch/b6ac+v2
Parallel Balanced Charging Board:

Rotary tool:

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.

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.

@orensprojects7250 5 жыл бұрын

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.

@ophionnox1582 5 жыл бұрын

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.

@brendanoconnor4802 4 жыл бұрын

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 :)
