I’ve watched this video 3-4 times and the part where the table falls gets me every time. Great video. Love my new diy electric skateboard thank you for the help.

[@ryanshafer2640]

This is almost the same plan I’m doing for my first DIY build just different motors and ESC’s . Nice build 🤙🏻

[@xMysticDanx1]

I’m not planing on doing a DIY build any time soon cause i have a modded Meepo v2 and it’s suiting me just fine but its good to see people like you shown others how to make DIY build’s, I strongly support what your doing, keep up the good work

[@DIYesk8Builders]

Thanks man

[@lbabacar8653]

What do you mod for the meepo

[@lobsterboywonder]

Been an on/off longboarder for years, I have issues kicking off (old TBI) and I've tried the big kahuna stick but nothing really met my needs so I've been watching people in my town board and feeling jealous (once I get any sort of momentum my old skills kick right in) until today I stumbled across your channel and I've decided to learn to use the tools in this video to make my own board someday. Thanks for the inspiration

[@oddron]

I love your videos! I would like to see you make your own video on programming the ESCs.

[@DIYesk8Builders]

Thanks! It seems like a few people are asking for that so we may have to make one in the near future

[@scottmichael3745]

Yes please!

[@ThatDudeCortez]

Wow 😲 this is by far the best diy video I have seen!!! Wow

[@grantoldblueeagle]

I ride a Meepo nls but I wish I’d built my own now . Thanks for the videos they’re real informative and very interesting

[@DiegoRamirez-jd4xd]

grantoldblueeagle diyeboard.com better than boosted in my opinion

[@scottmichael3745]

I built an "almost" long board (it looks liike a surfboard). Probably only 40" long, with a Hobby King 6373 ($70) and a 150 amp "mega something" speed control that was like $60. I bought the parts 6 years ago, I assembled them 2 years ago with a nice set of trucks that fit a motor mount I EBayd for like $20. Bought 2 6000mha 3 cells to run in series, ya know to start small. Other people running 10 cell. It was SO FUCKING FAST AND TORQUIE IT WAS UNRIDEABLE! I dropped down to a 4 cell 7000 mha (I'm running lipo's.WAY more amps) and it's way rideable but super touchy throttle and tops out at 14mph (at 33% power). The torque is NUTS! You gotta do your math and research. I'm moving to a 10 cell pack but with a speed control that can't hit the mass amps I was with my last. That should reduce torque (seriously it was overkill, it would actually do wheelies. Throw your ass right off the back) and increase top speed. Smooth out the ride. It's ALL about math amigo. Don't be scared, it's all just plug and play. Cheers!

[@wavegreen]

Sick vid! 2 things, make sure to cover the battery status wires with hot glue or heat shrink you dont want your wires to short and your battery exploding under you. Also I also made a board and drilled 3 holes for each phase of the esc but steering started scratching the wires where the drilled holes were which can make them bare over time. As I said otherwise a really sick video !

[@DIYesk8Builders]

Yes for sure. I did that off camera. Thanks man

[@707greenlantern]

Good tutorial. Invest in a dremel with a rotary cutter disc. Time saver and more accurate n professional cut.

[@ddegn]

That table falling earned my sub. Thanks for the video.

[@DIYesk8Builders]

Lol glad you liked it

[@aeromaker_fpv]

Very nice tutorial! I feel some rubber grommets would be a great addition to your boxes, it will keep the phases from shorting as well as help with waterproofing it.

[@benni2294]

Poor desk 😅 Love the vid, keep it up 😍

[@timakrasner3846]

heat up the blade and it will easily cut through plastic (will solve your led indicator issue)

[@Snap123S]

Question: what made you switch from torque board trucks to evolve trucks? I was thinking of trying the same thing as your other vid with the torque board trucks. EDIT: I just watched your latest video and realized that this is a different build😅 they look the same! My bad. Nice build by the way ✊🤙

[@esk8supply720]

I wasn't aware of how much effort a video like this takes to make until I made one haha, good job guys!

[@kikodiez4433]

what I don't understand is how you program on the computer you go very fast

[@Shane_Mane.]

I’m pretty confident with everything you explained, but I want to add a 2nd battery. If I use this same set up, Can you tell me how & what else I would need to add another battery to my board ? Thanks

[@DIYesk8Builders]

Hi, I would just start with a bigger battery to being with in the first place. This battery is not a great quality pack.

do you have to use to esc's? can you not just buy one that can supply enough to control both motors in parallel?

[@DIYesk8Builders]

Yes you need two

[@collin2fel]

What's the top speed and range on this build?

[@msanjayvarma04]

hi, How much you spend for building this board from end to end

[@thadschrader8218]

How much all together Did the board cost? How much are each part the wheels motors trucks escs controller and deck ? How long did it take to get the parts?

[@DIYesk8Builders]

it cost around 1500 USD. wheels are 250, motors are 90 a piece, trucks are 120, esc is 300ish, deck was 50 ish

[@TawpShelf]

Every tool is a hammer

[@DIYesk8Builders]

Obviously

[@brandol4719]

But I love to use the Ratchet on ALL axle related tasks too XD

[@jj53721]

If you wanted to upgrade the battery so you can have more distance with the same speed what battery would you choose

[@DIYesk8Builders]

The board already has a good 15 miles of range. I would probably buy a 10s4p 30Q from MBoards through just for a few extra miles and a flat pack instead of this bulky one

[@elliothancock8010]

you see if i wanted to make a 4x4 electric skateboard (i,e, one motor on each wheel.) would i just need to buy 4 x ESU that you use?

[@DIYesk8Builders]

Yeah, although if you were to make one now I would recommend getting 2 Flipsky dual 6.6 Plus VESC's and connect them over can. The plus version is made to work in 4WD. I will say though that 4WD is way overkill and will just reduce the range of your board. 2WD with 63mm is already super powerful

[@jacobyoung6866]

Could you make a video of how to program everything

[@DIYesk8Builders]

Soon

[@micahbauer8058]

I'm probably going to build this one but I have a question when I use the sensor wire from the motor is will start up smoothly right? And do you have an idea of an acceleration compared to a Genesis tomahawk sorry if I'm asking to much. Thanks

[@DIYesk8Builders]

I have never run any motors with a sensor wire in FOC mode but from what I have heard it is a much smoother start up and is much quieter. I have no idea how it compares to a genesis tomahawk. The acceleration is not that strong on a genesis; I can floor the remote on high mode and not get thrown off. I'm sure with a diy board such as this, the acceleration is much stronger even with FOC mode and sensor wires. In the VESC tool you can also change how strong you want the acceleration to be so its very customizable. I hope this helps, don't hesitate to ask more questions!

[@daniiboyy]

I like your videos but IMHO you should go into more details at some parts, like setting up the truck on your board, setting up motors, etc... tks!

[@DIYesk8Builders]

Thanks for the feedback, honestly the only reason that we don't do that is because then our vids would be way too long lol

[@thiagobt6]

Hi Bilder, do you think these two MOTOR 6355 pushes well or is it better to install the 6374? which one do you recommend?

[@DIYesk8Builders]

Dual 6355 is already insanely powerful, probably enough. Dual 6374 is just a little extra but it honestly does not make that much of a difference unless it is a mono drive.

[@ivantarnyagin]

It might be fast but is it furious?

[@Fibonacci620]

Nice! How do you know if a motor is compatible with an esc?

[@flowerpunkchip]

Hi. Complete noob builder here. @9min 05sec - How do i know which of the 3 cables of the motor plug into which female plug of the vesc?

[@DIYesk8Builders]

Hi, it does not matter which order you plug the phase wires in so any way works

[@reptiloidx8942]

HEY MAC WHAT IS MAXIMUM SPEED ???

[@DIYesk8Builders]

About 28MPH

[@fish9468]

What current do you reach? I doubt that reaches 5000 watts with such tiny motors

[@toannguyen214dallas]

U need a Dremel from harbor freight. $10 kit . Use the cut wheel. More professional

[@QuestionableClunkers]

Do you need two esc if both motors are intended to go the same speed or do the motors lose performance?

[@DIYesk8Builders]

If you are running two motors you needs 2 ESC's for sure, unless it is a double ESC.

[@the_golden_ingot]

:D that Board Looks Sick!

[@don-jp2rs]

can you remote control it to turn right and left using differential ?

[@DIYesk8Builders]

No idea that sounds like it would be way too complicated. Regular skateboard turning is much easier

[@xXTECHxKNIGHTXx]

A lot of the links in the description are broken :(

[@KuroeZucredl]

@DIY esk8 Builders umm where is the port where I charge it? I am confused where it is when I went back to look for it...

[@DIYesk8Builders]

It is mounted facing towards the other enclosure in the battery enclosure.

[@KuroeZucredl]

@@DIYesk8Builders Thank you!

[@ihildy]

If you use all terrain wheels your range is cut in half right?

[@DIYesk8Builders]

The range in decreased by a lot. Probably not as much as half, but without the wheels this built probably goes 17 miles and with the AT its 12-13

[@arei127]

Why couldn't you just rotate the orientation of the motors to get a little more wire going the right direction and tuck them more overall?

[@DIYesk8Builders]

I mean you probably could, I tried to but the motor mount has a slight lip so the wire bends weirdly around it and I didn't want them bending that way. Even with that it still a little far away from the enclosure so I'd have to make the extensions anyways.

[@SelkoFPV]

if i may ask..what was the total cost in the end for building these?

[@DIYesk8Builders]

Selko FPV this one was about $1200. We have some that are all the way up to $1800

[@PoradoWeara]

Did I see those motors having a hall sensor? Did you not use them?

[@DIYesk8Builders]

These motors have hall sensors, but we are not using them because of the large AT wheels

[@PoradoWeara]

@@DIYesk8Builders can they not be used with AT wheels

[@DIYesk8Builders]

They can, but from what I have read, using FOC sensored is more likely to make the VESC fail with larger AT wheels. Im sure it can be done though and we will definitely upgrade to FOC sensored in the near future

[@RS-vv3vb]

Can you tell us the total cost in the description or at the end of the video instead of us having to click each link for each part and adding it up please?

[@DIYesk8Builders]

Yeah, sorry it was about $1,000-1,200. We got a lot on sale so its probably closer to $1,200 now that there aren't any deals

I can't even stand on a regular skateboard or longboard but now after 1 spill the fifth day, lots of road rash I have started being more observant and cautious. But the board has worked great for me but of course I want to go faster now. So I was wondering what you offered and also I have some questions you can probably answer really easy.
