Best DIY Electric Skateboard Battery and ESC Enclosure

[@stetso2021]

Mike you are unbelievable! You are always working on improvements for us! All your videos have been so helpful so us guys who want to start off building a board! One stop shop for parts and for information! You got it all! Thank you and keep on striving!

[@MBoardsco]

Thank you so much for the support! I am so glad we were able to help in any way!

[@michaelgasser917]

Hey bro, keep it up. Brand new to the space and I can't stop watching

[@MBoardsco]

Welcome! Thanks man!

[@stetso2021]

Dude same here. This guy is killing it! All his videos are so helpful! I’m saving up to buy all my parts from his site! All in one shop!

[@patrickheraty1262]

You are super knowledgeable and thanks for sharing. Keep making these tutorials- I will keep watching

[@rparadis1988]

What was the size of the drill bits that you used to drill those holes?

[@ftrnow]

I just installed one today but didnt get the inserts. Drilled through the deck and installed the screws countersinking the screws on the back side. Is there an update here. Your instructions on teh web site didnt really describe it very well but it worked out. Youve got to know what your doing to some extent. Why is the gasket perforated for an interior square inside the bolt pattern. I took the inside square and stuck it to the enclosure so teh battery would be sitting by gravity on the padded gasket square. It just made more sense. You guys are the best out there. Drilling through the deck makes more sense to me. IMO

[@MBoardsco]

Yes we’ve updated the included hardware to through bolts and nylon nuts because many of our customers were having trouble with the inserts and the glue. The rectangle insert is a byproduct of the manufacturing process, it also helps keep the gasket’s shape during shipping. Our customers usually find a creative way to use it if needed.

[@leifcarlson1310]

Hey. I am having trouble understanding out to install the inserts into board without getting epoxy or superglue inside the insert. Could you quickly go over installing them? Thank you!

[@dzhus]

Hey, if the deck is flexy how reliable such an enclosure would be? Wouldn't it break because of the flex of the deck. Thank you

[@SamusSays]

Yes, it would break

[@AlexJoneses]

What size bolts are the mounting hardware, how well does the case flex to fit boards with concave, rake, camber, etc when installing, how can you waterproof the slot for where the cables come out of? Would like to hear some answers to those questions

[@KimAlexanderJensen]

What are the outer dimensions of the new enclosures? Only states "usuable space" dimensions on the website.

[@MaybeNotMaya]

I just bought this and the screws that I received are 2 times the length of the deck, encloser AND gasket COMBINED.

[@maxchalekson6729]

How far in the board do you need to drill the holes for the esc?

[@RanHam]

Was browsing youtube on what inserts to use for my enclosure, I have the same board for my project. Did it make for a good esk8?

[@aramilarantrial2493]

hi man i got a little question do you plan to make a flexible enclosure any time soon ( evolve bambo gtr type). CAuse i would like to try to put a huge battery under a flexible loaded vanguard deck ( 10s5p or 12s4p ) and the the double enclosure is not very appealing

[@loganbing977]

Will the biggest enclosure fit a 12s4p battery.

[@AlpakaAntifa]

Yes, should do

[@josephvu1753]

@@AlpakaAntifa Can you recommend one, because I haven't found one that works yet... Thanks!!!

[@blakebiltwell5]

I’d recommend to use painters tape on gasket so it doesn’t move

[@MBoardsco]

Great tip!

[@meeethe3rd]

These look good 👍 might have to invest for my next board

[@MBoardsco]

Thanks for the feedback!

[@dexshelton4483]

Will there be any bigger enclosures

[@MBoardsco]

Yes! We’ve got an XL version through production and on its way 👍🏻

[@HamishCrossNZ]

Looking to make a little powerful board like the Lou board. As a little campus croozer. So the little batt case might be perfect

[@MBoardsco]

Your build sounds awesome man! Good luck with it!

[@evanwest3892]

What are the dimensions of the bigger enclosure, I am thinking about getting one and I would like to measure it out on my board? Does it fit a 12s3p battery with a single motor M-boards Esc as well?

[@MBoardsco]

All of the dimensions are displayed in the product description 👍🏻

[@doices2nd]

I've never came so quick before

[@krishnansrinivasan830]

Nice & Thanks :)

[@gageglover3734]

I've seen a lot of people looking for top mounted vesc enclosures! Maybe something you cant put the truck bolts through. A lot of electric mountainboard builders either build their own or pay wayyyy to much money for trampa boxes

[@foustjosh]

unfortunately this is definitely not the best enclosure out there. its difficult to mount properly, the hardware leaves a little to be desired but the worst part is how fragile the enclosure is. as time goes on, the screw holes become weak and you will find the plastic holes eventually wear through and break. i like the look and size of it but the attachment method and screw holes need work.

[@chrisgayle1623]

A case that can hold a 12s4p and a regular sized dual VESC, Currently does not exist and is definitely necessary!!

[@MBoardsco]

100% we will be making an enclosure for this 👍🏻

[@joshuamarkowitz5183]

Wow! This is awesome! I need this exact type of enclosure for my setup! Can’t wait! @MBoards @Chris Gayle

[@chrisgayle1623]

@mike h where?

[@chrisgayle1623]

@mike h well I don’t need it anymore. MBoards dropped the Extended enclosure XL. there’s literally no other enclosure that size

[@chrisgayle1623]

@mike h where is a 12s8p enclosure?!?!?!?

[@haydonjones7995]

If you made a metal push in wheel pulley for Abec and Kegel wheels that fit a 15mm belt I'd love you forever!!!!!!

[@MBoardsco]

Noted 😎

[@austinnguyen6538]

I really like the enclosure you used on your booster mini build. Can you start selling those?????😧😦🤒😧🤑😮👺😵💀🤢🤖🤢☠️🤢☠️🤮👻👻🤤☠️😴☠️😴🤤🤤🎃😪💀💀😴☠️🥴🤖🤑🤖🤒☠️🥴🎃🤑🤖🤕

[@charliehunter4964]

Can you make an esc controller with a trigger cause I’m making something that requires to different esc and I want to put two together or can you make two esc that goes to one controller

[@MBoardsco]

If you use Vescs you can use one remote with multiple ESCs. Sounds like we should make a tutorial for this one 👍🏻

[@charliehunter4964]

Hell ya

[@charliehunter4964]

$=vescs

[@MILLERS066]

I’m gonna drill straight through the deck and use nuts on the bottom deck of the enclosure

[@AlpakaAntifa]

The inserts are for plastic, not wood...

[@MBoardsco]

Either way, they get the job done 👍🏻

[@AlpakaAntifa]

@@MBoardsco I don't want to bitch, but I glued mine with epoxy. A few did just snap in half, others fell out again because they didn't grip to the glue etc... Why don't include real wooden inserts?

[@SuperHotBM]

The worst enclosure I've seen is the Verreal F1 enclosure. All the screws broke inside the metal enclosure, a very bad design. Will you be making a removable battery enclosure? An enclosure for flexible decks is needed.

[@MBoardsco]

We’d love to make an all in one replaceable battery and enclosure! And we do plan on creating a flexible enclosure along side a flexible battery pack soon 😎

[@offwhitemke]

Instead of using that foam as a water barrier you could instead use a heat resistant materials to glue to the enclosure itself before screwing it to the deck. This way the material will not break down like the foam will and the glue keeps the gap closed. You can use heat to release the glue when you open it up and also to attach the material again. I am doing a DIY project where I am going to use the material linked below for the water barrier. You may want to try this out and use it in a future iteration of the enclosures. This is how one of my completed boards is assembled and it has been great. www.amazon.com/gp/product/B071RRCLMF/

[@MBoardsco]

We’ve got a couple boards that are a couple years old running with foam and are going strong but that could also work! Good luck with your build!

[@Mr-E.]

Hi Brennan - What glue did you use that you can heat up when releasing, and also when re-attaching? The oven liner material you linked on Amazon seems like it is sturdy and would be less likely to deteriorate... but not sure on what glue works for it.

[@aaronswed01]

you never sent me mounting hardware with my order?????. ffs!

[@MBoardsco]

Shoot us an email! We’ll get it sent out! So sorry about that!

[@jdamlinrules5126]

Let me translate the introduction to you guys we made a piece of s*** enclosure and if you tightened it too much it cracked and it's your fault

[@MBoardsco]

The enclosures are indeed plastic. Like all plastic, the enclosure can break if over tightened. To avoid damage, you’ll definitely want to tighten your screws until your enclosure is just snug. Any further can cause damage.

[@AlpakaAntifa]

20 Euro for an enclosure is great, however 20 Euro shipping... Really?!?!

[@MBoardsco]

It’s very expensive to ship to Europe unfortunately 😭

[@AlpakaAntifa]

@@MBoardsco ordered anyway :) Though I have to cancel and maybe buy the bigger one :( Great explanation video! Much love from Germany!

[@15wileyr]

Too small 😈😈😈
