A huge thank you to PCB Way for sponsoring this video and providing all of the custom CNC parts. This board is a huge upgrade from the previous mini college cruiser that we made. It is definitely more expensive than buying a pre-built board with similar specs, but it has all of the features that I want in a board that I use every day to get to class.

[@ClassWarVeteran]

I feel like we’d get more boards like this if companies heard more feedback from people in the traditional skateboarding / longboarding community and less from San Francisco tech bros.

[@PCBWay]

We are elated to be one part! 🥳🥳🥳

[@DIYesk8Builders]

Thank you!

That's beautiful e skateboard

[@DIYesk8Builders]

Thanks!

[@ESKATEUK]

Ah yes, a 12s1p battery, for the people that like to board down the sea front, then walk back..

[@DIYesk8Builders]

hahaha yes this board is NOT for long rides

Thanks!

[@esk8unity]

love my drop cat

[@DIYesk8Builders]

It is such a nice deck

[@TBSCcreeper]

What skateboard headlights are you using?

[@DIYesk8Builders]

Shredlights. They are the best!

[@knoopx]

how are those pulleys holding up? xD

[@DIYesk8Builders]

Not so well. Let's just say there have been a few re-prints...

[@marvelcodm4472]

Try putting a surfskate truck on and see is you can charge it with just kinetic energy

[@jairokachow]

What type of battery are you using?

[@DIYesk8Builders]

12s1p molicel P42A

[@ClassWarVeteran]

What flipsky motor would you recommend to cruise at at least 30 mph? I also need a battery that will take me at least 20 miles. My average cruising speed will be 28-30, and I’ll be using the same deck shown in this video with some soft and fat longboard wheels. Any help would be appreciated. 😁 I’m planning to transition from a teamgee mini to a DIY, and I already have the drop cat. Also, this will be used as a daily commuter.

[@DIYesk8Builders]

The speed is determined by the KV of the motor rather than its size. For a decently power board I would recommend using dual 6355. We actually have a new mechanical kit that I think would work well for this kind of build: propulsionboards.com/products/rkp-mini-complete-mechanical-kit For wheels I would go big with some MAD wheels, Dad bods, or TB 110's. If you would like more information feel free to email us at [e-mail]

@@DIYesk8Builders I appreciate it! 🤙🏻 I’ll use this for reference as I start accumulating parts.

[@DIYesk8Builders]

Of course! Always feel free to reach out with questions. Best of luck :)

[@ClassWarVeteran]

@@DIYesk8Builders Do you think the kit you linked would work with the hobby wing ESC and the 7.5Ah that comes with the teamgee H20 Mini? This would just be a temporary set up until I get more parts. I’m mostly concerned about forcing those motors to fit whatever parameters that have been set by hobby wing for hub motor use.

[@DIYesk8Builders]

It would probably work but you would really be limiting the motors. I can't say for certain though. Long term I would go VESC based ESC

[@coreythewolf1]

Any more info on 3d printing a battery enclosure? I want to do the same thing for my icarus build

[@DIYesk8Builders]

What kind of info are you looking for?

[@coreythewolf1]

@@DIYesk8Builders how did you design it? What software did you use? What material did you print it out of? How did you match the curve of the board with the curve of the enclosure?

[@DIYesk8Builders]

I took some measurements and pictures of the deck outline and curvature. I then used OnShape which is a free cloud based CAD software to draw up the part. Both enclosures were printed on a PRUSA MK3+ printer with PETG as the filament. Let me know if you have any other questions

[@coreythewolf1]

@@DIYesk8Builders thank you!

[@paulshrider6048]

One question

[@paulshrider6048]

How much does it cost?

[@NeronAzemi]

​@@paulshrider6048 between $900 - $1100

[@DIYesk8Builders]

Yeah I would need to do the exact math, but probably that ballpark
