Hey man I was wondering if there’s a different pulley system I’d have to use if I was gonna use Iwonder wheels instead theres so many online and I’m struggling to figure out the best ones to use

[@briantumbledown4259]

1,1000 dollars is not exactly affordable

[@danieldauber8335]

Great video, Neil! Educational, entertaining, funny elements and the right degree of detail for newbees like me. Really enjoy your content. 👍 Looking forward to part two. What I'd love to see is a vid where you describe how you select your components for a project. Like why you took that but not this part, which benefits does one system have over another. That would be awesome.

[@BigKidsOfficial]

Daniel Däuber thanks brotha! I appreciate your support 🙏🏽 and comments. It’s very constructive and I’ll be keeping them in mind when i make part 2. I’ve already completed the board build and the filming so it’s just a matter of editing. Hopefully, I’ll have it up soon after the holiday. Thanks again for supporting 👍🏽 the Big Kids channel and you know I’ll be supporting you as well! - Neil

[@pyrofpv4687]

I own, use and build E boards and this is one of the best and most detailed build videos I have ever seen and this is by far my favorite one and thank you so much for getting the concept of motor kv correct. It’s sad how many people are taught that kv is kilovolt or something else incorrect. Thank you so much for video man

Probably your best video yet. the steps were very detailed.

Thanks Brian, that means a lot as I did put a lot of effort into this video! Gald you noticed :)

[@a598373]

Hey man I just saw your first electric longboard build. I've been thinking about creating a build myself but I wasn't sure what to buy. I've got the basic concept from building drones, but your video series is great and laying everything out and easy-to-follow manner. You just got yourself another subscriber my friend. Keep up the great work!

[@BigKidsOfficial]

Hey Peter! Thanks for the kind comments! Yeah, I work from home and do have spare time to make these videos. When I first built my board I noticed I needed to jump from one video to the next and piece together all the information. So I thought, "hey I should make a video/channel dedicated to esk8 builders!". I really appreciate that you see some value in this series. I'll be posting part 3 this week so stay tuned! If you'd like a parts list shoot me an email at [e-mail]. - Neil

[@robh.3124]

This video is a perfect mix of entertainment and getting to the point of the video! Dope man!

[@BigKidsOfficial]

Hey Rob! That actually means a lot to me. It was really my intention to try and do both. One thing I noticed about DIY hobby videos is that most of the time all you see is their hands and second the video can be a bit dry. So I wanted to reach as my people with this video by keeping the facts available yet entertaining. however, if you go on to my next 2 videos of this series they tend to get a bit more straight to the point. Thanks again for check out the video and hope you subscribe :) - Neil

[@LiveTheLimit]

So, if anyone wants to do this I'd recommend thicker riser pads. Also, what's not shown in this tutorial is a lot of sanding to get the motor pulley to not rub against the caliber trucks. DO NOT get the cheap ebay ESC, get a VESC...thank me later.

[@Bill97070]

I'm a old big kid with limited long board experience and don't like pushing. I'd like a electric board, but I'm on a budget and I see some cheap boards, but I worry about durability, service and throwing my money away on them. Thanks for the video, just the information and help that I need. I think a DIY eboard is what I'm going to focus on, to learn and be able to get the best equipment, even though it may take me longer.

[@BigKidsOfficial]

Hi William! I appreciate the kind words and wish you luck with your build. In regards to your comment, I feel DIY is definitely a great learning experience. However it can get expensive. If you need a parts list feel free to email me at [e-mail].

I currently have a Verreal V1S and a Blitzart Hurracane dual motor.Both decent budget boards that have served me well but I would like to convert one of them to belt drive because I would like to run the rough stuff wheels.

I'm glad they helpped! When I built my first esk8 I found that most of the videos were not clear or we're just missing something. Although they were helpful, they didn't feel complete.

Hi Kid, I have been thinking for a long time what will be better? - ready to ride Wowgo 2s (2 hub motors) - or one big 6374 190kv motor (single belt drive sys.) with 12s LiIon batteries and single enertion vesc The most important for me is: - acceleration, hill climbs, torque What do you think ? The one big 6374 motor with good equipment can beat the 2 hubs motors of wowgo

[@lazyboy395]

Thanks for the vid on hardware. In the next video, could you go over the BLDC tool for calibration? I find that the actual calibration is the hardest part for my electric board, mostly because there's just so much I don't know about the BLDC and the VESC in general.

I really like part on here, wanted a dual setup but I just cant afford it right now. So I'm going with this exact setup, minus the wheels and deck. I went with those A.T. MBS 100mm wheels instead. My roads are terrible. Anyways, dope video man, keep it up!

I hope you would consider subscribing to see more videos like this one. that's great to hear that you'll be building your first electric skateboard. Honestly a single build is just as good as a dual build. Where the duel build is superior is handling Hills.

I got the motor and mechanical drive train from diy electric skateboard and i now have a serious problem. The stick you mention that goes in the motor shaft, in my case, it's not as long as the hole. Thus, as the stick is not as long as the shaft's hole, it moves, and so does the pulley with it. Removing the pulley now is, I would say, impossible. It's freaking tight and I cannot imagine a human being removing it. Any advice?

Hey Neil, awesome video as always. I like the creative transitions and way you put the video together! You're doing a great service to the esk8 community. It's helpful to see an up-to-date belt drive build. What made you go with that instead of hub motors?

[@BigKidsOfficial]

Hey Oren! Thanks so much for the support. Especially from a fellow DIY esk8 KZbinr. My friend had road my DIY board and said he basically wanted the same thing. The hub motors undoubtedly ha less maintenance but the performance is lacking for what I want. However there are pro's and cons to both hub and belt. At the moment I like belt for it's performance. But, I'm excited for Carvon's direct drive hub motors.

[@orensprojects7250]

That's true they both have different advantages. The Carvon motors are expensive but look well made and super powerful. Please make a video if you get them :). I'm looking forward to your next videos to see how your build turns out and how it performs!

[@SoSodaddy]

I like that, I will try to make it for my kid

[@BigKidsOfficial]

Hey there! Thanks for watching! I hope you'd consider subscribing to see more videos like this one. I helped a friend, who I met from my channel, to build one for his little boy. Let me know if you need a parts list or any help. - Neil

[@tomstratford1188]

Hey, I was just wondering if someone could tell me if the motor and battery comes with the kit or do you have to order that seperatly

[@BigKidsOfficial]

Usually, if you buy a mechanical kit it only includes a motor, motor mount, pulleys, and maybe trucks and wheels. diyelectricskateboard.com/collections/single-motor-mechanical-kit/products/single-motor-mechanical-kit?aff=3 Then you'll need to buy a VESC and battery pack seperately. I hope that helps. Let me know if you have any more questions. - Neil

This was awesome

[@BigKidsOfficial]

+OMGBEKKAG Hi there! Thanks for checking out my video! Hope you consider subscribing to see more videos like this one. Are you thinking about getting or building an electric skateboard?

[@marsman1355]

Do you have list of all components to make this? Cloud you please give a link all of them.

[@benhibberd6907]

Quick question could you countersink the truck bolts lower for a cleaner finish

[@BigKidsOfficial]

Yeah, you can 😁

[@datdeerdude5139]

I see you with the Tribe beat

[@BigKidsOfficial]

Haha nice! I like when folks noticed the small stuff like that.

[@teammoonbeam1490]

Hey I was wondering if u could use ur feet if the battery fan out

[@BigKidsOfficial]

Hey there! Thanks for checking out the video and for supporting the channel. I hope you'd consider subscribing to see more videos like this one. You can absolutely use your feet to kick if the battery is fully drained. However, belt driven motors will have drag or friction and will be difficult to kick. If you are looking for something you can kick with your feet more freely look into hub motor vs belt driven motors. Let me know if you have any other questions. -Neil

is it dangerous if i don't have a high torque, is it dangerous when riding

[@atulyadav7308]

Can u tell me the no load current of BRUSHLESS MOTOR

[@WORLD-OF-MERLIN]

I just made mine with 6300 watts of power, dual 6374 setup, carbon fiber racing deck with grip, 12S4P battery with BMS, about 40 MPH, LED lights (1600 LUMENS), and 50 mile range. Will post my video in about a month or less. The most challenging was the wheel drilling, as I put all six bolts and the knurled set screws that kept coming loose, had to really torque them in....

[@BigKidsOfficial]

Sweet build bro! Did you get a 12 inch truck to fit the dual 6374 motors? My next build is going to be dual Carvon direct drive motors; I can't wait. Shoot me a DM when you upload the video I love seeing peoples builds. dude, last week I saw a quad drive with pnumatic wheels rated for 60 mph!!!! - Neil

[@WORLD-OF-MERLIN]

I had to purchase the 218mm trucks to fit the Torque Boards 6374 motors. I think my board is dangerous at 40 MPH, let alone a 60 MPH pneumatic wheel board. I can't even take mine to its limit, because I'm too scared to go any faster than about 20 MPH, at least for now, maybe when I get more comfortable later I'll go faster. Actually, I'm going to start custom building different type of electric boards and sell them. Current system cost me about $2000; selling it for $2500.

[@BigKidsOfficial]

ELLIOTT MORIARTY very cool! Yeah, the best part of DIY is that you are only limited to your imagination! I also thought of selling complete builds. Good luck with that! It’s funny how speed becomes relative. Once you get used to a speed it starts to feel slow. I’ve topped my board out at 33mph and now I want more! Anyhow, I love talking shop. Please stop by again and I look forward to getting to know you in the comments! - Neil

Can I have a parts list? Thanks for the great video!🙂

[@jonathanhallonquist2739]

Okay so I’m looking to build a board I have the board I just need Everything else how much is it going to be I’m on a budget. Like can’t go over $300$. So ether build on or buy Teemo board for $250$ or AEBOARD for $270$. If it’s more then that then na I’ll just buy one.

[@luckyscamera]

Great shirt! Great video

[@BigKidsOfficial]

Thanks bro! Appreciate the kind comments!

[@mmusico48]

Good video thanks

[@BigKidsOfficial]

Thanks! Check out my other videos 📼 if you have time

[@GabrielDelPinoC]

Nice video man! I just purchased the 90 hub kit 10s5p on diyeboard, they say comes with 2.1 foc esc or something like that, Can I put enertion focboxes on this setup or Im just talking nonsenses? Will be good? What you recomend me to upgrade my board step by step? Thanks

[@BigKidsOfficial]

Gabriel Del Pino thanks for watching! I hope you consider subscribing for more videos like this one! the VESC with FOC is essential to running hub motors smoothly because they are sensored motors. However, i am not familiar with the ESC from diye. The FOCBox from Enertion is one of the best VESCs out there. 10s5p will get you a very nice speed and distance for sure. If this is your first time building an electric skateboard i really recommend you take your time and do your research on the esk8 forums. If you have any specific questions let me know. - Neil

[@GabrielDelPinoC]

thanks man!! sadly diyeboard refund my order because they can't deliver the battery pack to my country, so I will start from 0, how much money do I need to start a diy esk8 with nice parts but without going to high? (I'll suscribe for sure you have a lot of nice videos)

[@BigKidsOfficial]

+Gabriel Del Pino I have a couple good contacts with good 🏂👌 esk8 parts globally. What part of the globe 🌎 are you located? You can always save money on shipping if you buy from somewhere a bit closer and when you buy every Big from the same vendor.

[@GabrielDelPinoC]

That would be awesome, I'm in Chile

[@BigKidsOfficial]

Hey Gabriel, so considering where you are I know that this company diyelectricskateboard.com/bigkids ships to South America. Consider using them as I've tried and tested many of his parts. He also has given me a $10 off of $100 coupon if you use the code BIGKIDS10. Let me know if you also need a parts list or if you're good.

[@districtbeats3272]

Can I get a complete parts list please?

[@ryanroper8230]

I'm new to electric sk8 diy community, I'm trying to build my first build. I can't seem to get my pulley to fit onto my caliber truck. Any help would be great!

[@gaara10122]

Did you try turning it on and off again
