This is the first time I have seen your face. I have always imagined you to be older 50+ your voice is calm, measured and soothing. I understand about 50% of what you present in your videos. But I watch almost every one. Because I feel like, what I don't understand is somehow implanted in my subconscious. With of your style of a methodical process coupled with testing and explanations, I feel as if I have learned something. And that I could also do this if I bothered to buy the components and do the builds. this is the stuff that I wish I could do if I wasn't to lazy. And you show me that I could if I wanted to (with study and practice) So thank you very much, BOODOO

[@yourcreed104]

Just one request i have No matter how professional you get into video making, Please never change your intro

[@RadioactvPanda]

Thank you so much! I really wanted to make an electric longboard for the longest time! Now that I have a better understanding for the basics, I'll probably be down to give it a shot! Thanks!

[@andrew3404]

This is the best timing! I was thinking about making my own, but i didn't think i had the expertise.

[@bluecrush4658]

Where can we check that out :D

[@ThatOneTruckGuy]

9:40 Would have made more sense to install a heatsink over the MOSFETS, which would improve the cooling. EDIT: And install a mesh over the fan to keep road dirt/dust from getting inside.

[@antipoti]

Also, the fan is overkill imo, a mesh on the front and back would be more than enough at 20-30kph.

[@MarionMakarewicz]

This video exemplifies all the good qualities you bring to your channel. Thanks so much. It seems obvious that you really enjoyed the results of this build. As everyone is saying in th comments, you are quite the handsome guy. Be we knew that already. But there was something different about your look this time. And because I really respect you and hope for the best for you, please be careful. I don't want to see that precious brain inside that cranium of your smashed into the concrete. Perhaps a simple bike helmet next time. I have had too many people in my life that I know get their heads smashed on skate boards. We want to you at least reach 2 million subscribers.

[@AtariKafa]

be carefull with the fans holes water could get inside from there...

[@jakegarrett8109]

urugulu you just leave the ESC heatshrink exposed in a rectangle cutout at the bottom. Or they have watercooled ESCs popular in this size, so you could even mount an external radiator but honestly like 4 Oz of water in a reservoir will probably be enough anyways just to absorb heat since this thing has a super short range (6.5 km/30kph max speed= 13 minutes of runtime). Plus that means his average was 23 amps (so under 12 amps per motor), and that’s like a pitiful amount of power, like any cheap ESC can handle that and those are put in model airplanes with often 0 airflow enclosed in foam board... He won’t be getting those beast of ESCs very warm at all, even with 0 airflow and pedal to the metal!

[@DIYPINOY]

Another awesome project from great scott 😊😊😊👍👍👍

[@pmgodfrey]

This is the kind of stuff I just love. Fabricating and putting everything together...but I always get crazy with the wiring and make my own lengths and crimp on connectors. That's what slows me down with everything.

@@leobla744 that is true actually. I'd probably go with some cheeper, less capable components because I don't really need 40km/h honestly.

[@MarcinPlaza]

Just wondering since the cheaper hubmotor trucks are rated at a max 600 watts and with a 24v battery the fsesc can continuously withstand 1200 watts then what stops me from using 1 esc for both motors? I guess thats another question can i just make a splitter for each of the motor wires and use one esc for 2 motors?

Amazing project again! A video idea: Can you probably do a project involving tubes someday?

Also I'm really interested in the ' old-book' series you told you were planning on doing :-) Thanks again for your awesome videos!

Because off your old video I have started with DIY ESK8. Now I am rocking 6 builds. I have a DIY trampa with helical drive and 8000 watt off power. It can do 50km/h and have a range off 50km. Battery capacity is 907wh li ion self build 12s7p pack. If you want a talk about extra esk8 info. Reply on this :)

Btw, please drop that mini controller out. It is very dangerous because off signal drops. Check also the esk8 news forum for more info.

[@mashedpotatoes5323]

I'm currently (very slowly) working on a dual motor ninebot es4 scooter with a 16s12p 30ah battery that goes 30mph, all I need to do is make a case for the giant battery, buy two new 40~ eBay esc's and buy a 16s bms and a 67v charger for charging, a 16s active balancer to hopefully help keep it balanced and make a bracket for the rear bike break, I had it running with the battery ratchet straped and the esc's hose clamped to the frame but all the vibrations caused a capacitor in the esc to break off and tumble around in it shorting stuff out so now I'm just going to wait until I have everything sorted out before I ride it again.
