Building a Better Boosted Stealth Electric Longboard

[@skatemetric627]

Build tutorial is up in description!

[@Mpower31]

It would be great to have some kind of video series showing the build from start to finish or some detailed pictures that Circle and highlight.

[@awesomeguy9573]

SkateMetric Dude, do a build video PLEASE. Also, about how much did all the parts cost? (Don't have time to look through the whole list rn lol)

[@chuckborris804]

Hey, I love your content! I am looking for a budget board. Considering koowheel and wowgo. Which one should I go for?

[@matthewp7667]

you really should do a video on how to build this start to finish.

[@Maxmalouf]

SkateMetric how many amps can the ownboard battery deliver?

[@devonzheng6614]

Thumbs up, if y'all want SkateMetric to make a video on how to make this board!!!! Another great video.

[@cristianconstantin6496]

They absolutely need to make one. Btw what would happen if I use 2 motors, one with 140 kv for torque and the other with over 200kv for speed? Would it work for long periods of time (strain on battery, vesc etc) ?

[@rdurai330]

Terrible idea, there is no such software to synchronize them so they would likely end up clashing, thus putting strain on almost every component.

[@marheim9361]

Dont worry! I made a tutorial :) Check it out if you want to. I have mostly used all the parts that skatemetric put in their parts list

I don't care if the video is 3 hours long, PLEASE make a tutorial video!!!!!!!

[@ryansmith616]

FINALLY! A great start for a REAL longboard with an electric motor added. I just ordered all of my parts, most of which are the exact links this video provided. I went with the 10S5P battery for some (hopefully) insane range specs. All built on a beautiful Arbor Axis deck with the caliber II trucks. So excited. I'll try to update this post after it's built, if I remember to. Happy shredding 🤙

[@nicholasesparo2160]

How did it turn out? And what range did you get out of it?

[@MrBDOGG001]

@@nicholasesparo2160 seems like he forgot

[@danielgordon9197]

This is well explained and thought out. I was contemplating a Stealth purchase, but decided to pull the trigger on this build instead.

[@2LAZY-2EDIT]

Wish i did more homework and went you guys route, i bought cheap knock off board called Paean, now building my own battery with bms, got to get a proper vesc and got to replace deck, long story build it properly your self and save money in the long run.

[@gregernegerpungspark]

Hope you guys finish that tutorial, i definitely want to be inspired by it!

[@troibandy2139]

I can't believe I caught this video only a few weeks ago! WOW! Of all the diy builds, I is the suggested battery good (Samsung 6.0) for a person weighing about 220lbs? who do you think range would be for such a pe this one got me motivated me to start buying parts beyond just the deck! Great job on this board!!(Boosted clone) I expect to have all of my parts by end of October. Few Questions: 1. Is there a more powerful battery that will fit in the recommended enclosure? 2. Have you ever tested this board with 100mm wheels? I bought the Orangatang wheels, but may use 100mm wheels such as Boa or MBS so I can ride wet streets, especially during fall as board is being used for commuting purposes. 3. Finally, now that you've done a 'Boosted' clone, have you thought of doing an 'Evolve' clone? I would like to work on that after I complete this build. What deck would you recommend using for either the the bamboo version or even the GTX version? I know that might be harder since GTX is carbon fiber. But would do a maple version.

[@aymanabdelhadi9124]

THIS is still their greatest accomplishment

[@lordfurrypebbles7055]

nice design for bottom of the board

[@michaelgatti3948]

Well done again. You guys are really making great videos!

[@dallindworczyk2882]

First, the comment system on your website is broken. Everyone is saying the build price is around $1100 but I found it to be more like $1300. I think some people forgot they used a lot of things twice in the build, like VESCs or pulleys or motor mounts ... etc. At this price point why don't I buy a boosted. The calculator I used said the range is 12 miles, which is less than an extended range boosted battery pack. If I upgraded from a Samsung 6.0 battery pack to a Sanyo battery pack that would bring the board up an extra $150 for an extra 4 miles. Which then barely beats the boosted. It's great the board accelerates fast. But I have no idea if the board climbs hills. A hill test and range test of this board would be much appreciated. I am also on a budget so I could save $325 dollars if I went for a single motor set up. Would the board still preform well enough if it only had one motor? I guess if one motor does not work I could always upgrade to two.

[@JayPlays792]

If its money your worried about buy a boosted you want something faster build a DIY I find every single production board breaks or have weaknesses skatemetric makes there's fool proof.

[@dallindworczyk2882]

Okay. Thanks

[@danielgordon9197]

I agree, if your heart isn't in the process of building one. I think it's pretty cool to have a customized board. You can keep it the latest and greatest with gradual upgrades. I already have a Boosted V2, so I'm looking at this differently.

[@xusya9141]

Why not consider wowgo 2s for around 650? I think it was 16-18 mile range.

[@parioceanchicago]

I make a DIY instead of buying a Boosted for the same price. Why? Because I don't have $1500!! But sometimes I have $400, two months later $300 etc... AND I can pick the parts I want. Like the Foxbox Unity I brought on sale with the remote. I won't have the same board because I want a kick tail. And others things like that so no, it won't be the same but mine, made by me and at the rhythm of the amount of money I can save.

[@TSBates-gw4hx]

This board looks awesome. Great job. How many miles can it go on a full charge?

[@jugsmcbulge5786]

Can we get a more detailed video like the other skateboards

[@platyfpv]

Hello ! Have you ever encountered battery problems with this board ? Like batteries that fit this enclosure would only deserve 30Amps, how do you managed to get your 2 motors to work correctly ?

[@refaamoe]

Make a video on how to build this

[@wesleywamsley443]

This build is awesome! My one gripe with it (other than the boosted eboard components are probs more reliable/refined) is that horrendous remote. As amazing this board is, I can't use any other remote than the boosted for personal riding. There's just no parallel it it. Great vid!

[@JRPW]

Good video dude! Diy all the way

Hold on skate metric started making my board after I seen your first board all I can say Is thanks you guys are epic....

[@LeeWright]

Interesting build. I also have a build very similar showcased on my youtube channel - makes the boosted board look like a toy!

[@Mpower31]

Hey is your BMW a 335i? Also I don't see a build tutorial yet on your website?

[@colorsigma101]

Nice video as always ! People can now see how the loaded vanguard setup played such an important role and btw how boosted is now controlled by investors and no more by longboards lovers ! Just kidding of course :p

[@aarontuthill343]

I wish I had 1023 dollars to buy all the parts for this.

[@esk8tapas22]

GREAT BUILD !! But... Your Ownboard battery pack only discharges 40A continuous & you are sucking 70 - 90A . Its not good for the battery pack. Also the output of the battery pack is controlled by a BMS . So even if you think you are using Burst current , you are actually not because even if the battery pack can deliver , the BMS wont let it. Use a Higher discharge battery pack & Bypass the BMS for charge only. Or preferebaly go for 12s : )

[@skatemetric627]

What makes you think this is drawing 80 amps from the battery (or is configured to)? The motors are both configured to run 80 amps max, but the VESC will only draw 30 or 40 amps from the battery, depending on how it's setup. Motor and battery current are not the same.

[@esk8tapas22]

@@skatemetric627 Ok Thanks , I thought you were running 80 Battery amps ….

[@curbbux]

Is there a nice way to use the ownboard/wowgo remote or one like it instead of this RC remote...it's bulky and I hate the trigger. Want to build it if this is possible! :) Great build and tutorial!

[@jamess.9796]

Is the board optional

[@oliverschumacher4606]

I personally prefer the feel of Paris trucks to Calibers. Are there any other motor mount kits you would recommend? I've been searching and haven't found anything I totally love yet

[@patrickswayze2596]

You get what you pay for! Buy a cheap import and expect to go through three or four boards that doesn’t brake, will take off without using the controller, and battery life will weaken very quickly, and dangerously! I’ve owned about 20 electric boards, bought some cheapies to give them a crack only to have a unreliable dangerous and unpredictable piece of shit added to the ‘do not ride again’ pile! Unlimited and loaded have teamed up to give you a seriously comfortable, fast, safe and fun board to ride! I will recommend them all day long!...

[@My2JZandMe]

It's funny to show that this is basically a 10S2P powered Raptor 1 which accellarates faster than the Raptor 2 with 10S4P. This simply proves BELT is better than HUBS. Of course with hubs you got virtually no resistance and the silent operation when riding or pushing.

[@travisnewhouse7003]

Charger for this board? I don't recall that in the instructions? I think a more detailed video of this is needed. Thx.

[@dallindworczyk2882]

I'm pretty sure you can just buy an Ownboard charger.

[@chrischo1996]

Great video as always, I always look forward to new content from you guys. Hopefully I'll have the funds soon to build something similar.

Are you guys using the skinnier motors from torque boards also are your caliber two trucks 50° or 44°

[@PhilSiri]

What kind of range distance does this build get?

[@dallindworczyk2882]

I calculated 12 miles if you use the Samsung 6.0 battery they linked, but I could be wrong.

Great videos! Can you write out and post the specs on your website for the different builds; like weight, size, max range, max speed, etc.? Thanks!

[@sgfreak96]

Psyched to try and build this. The cost of the Boosted is expensive, and while worth it, I couldn't justify it as I'm now graduated from college and don't know if I'll even be living in an urban area. However, making a project out of it, and ending up with an even better board for a little less money is awesome.

[@marcusveerman5029]

What was the total cost?

[@brianbaumann9626]

$1,121 by my math.

Can you guys make me one of these custom for my size (6'1'' 195 lbs)?

[@jacobravanal1184]

You guys made a toy here, not a vehicle. Not that that’s bad at all, if you want a more powerful and faster electric longboard this is actually epic! But Boosted is making vehicles here and no electric longboards. I think the longevity of the Foosted is much less than a Boosted.

[@skatemetric627]

Jacob Ravanal it's not. The Foosted has outlasted our V2+.

[@gruntmasta]

@SkateMetric Awesome video/tutorial. I've been checking back regularly (to make sure my build is inline), but noticed you guys took the foosted's acceleration data off your site. What happened?

[@UbiquitousCthulhu]

your videos are concise and imo t h e b e s t on an educational level but *as amazon associates* you guys should put out the tutorial already and also be up front with the average price people will be spending for this setup. alot of the vesc images on your site are only relevant to users with outdated firmware and i guess what im saying is your work ethic leaves a little to be desired (considering we're talking about encouraging us common folk to build our own 30mph skateboards). less cash grabbing, more customer protection ->please

[@UbiquitousCthulhu]

also you titled this "building a better boosted stealth" despite saying in the video you had yet to test the stealth yourselves. your board clearly measures up to the stealth in many respects ... but you're not testing you're foosted against the stealth here, you're testing against the V2, Right? that kinda shit may lead your viewers to follow links elsewhere. but seriously, great job on the comparative analysis- youve got my subscription on that alone

[@manolomosquerah]

Please make a build tutorial guys! Just bought my vanguard deck with caliber trucks, for the wheels I went local (made in mexico). I'm looking forward to make the conversion.

[@manjnerd]

Hey skatemetric I'm new to electric skateboards and have been looking for diy boards, someone pointed me in your direction.
