hi , can i use the Flipsky VX2 Pro Remote on Enertion Raptor 2 ?

[@Gargamel0086]

I've checked out all kinds of eskate content but this is the first time that I got seriously hyped for an eskate, as an experienced skater who rides a drop-trough this looks like it rides like a real 'normal' drop-through longboard.

[@AbosoluteAltitudes]

I feel like a drop of thread lock on most bolts would prevent a lot of headaches later on. I build and fly a lot of drones and RC planes, no thread lock and it’s guaranteed to have parts vibrate loose. I’ve been thinking about ordering a kit to build my own. I’m a big DIYer and this looks like a ton of fun. I’ve fixed up a few lift boards and other lower quality brands for other people. Fun to ride but would like longer ride and higher top speed than the ones I’ve worked on.

[@kracksmith4ejm1]

i like this how long is the bamboo board from top to bottom

[@grady92]

I can't wait to buy the entire kit

[@diegoortiz1911]

Don't all the custom parts makes it to where you have to buy any and everything from him. So the means if something breaks or messes up you cant go to a board shop or any other seller. I mean the wheels, battery, and remote don't and more even come with the kit

[@casobank]

I’m going to build this kit with these changes: Hi5ber Undertaker Deck: $275 Abec 11 BigZigs HD: $65 Bones Swiss Ceramics: $165 Eovan 12S4P Battery: $569 My hopes with these changes is that I can achieve an even higher stable amp output for higher speeds and increased range with the batteries 48000mah capacity. Increased efficiency is seen with the Bones Swiss bearings to extend rolling distance and rotational resistance. This efficiency and range is also increased through the lightweight carbon fiber deck by Hi5ber. The wheels are just personal preference. The price increases to around $2300 to build after taxes and shipping including and other small bits to get the build together. Please let me know if you see and flaws in my logic or part choices! :)

[@DIYesk8Builders]

I would not get those wheels as they do not have any spokes. You will need some wheels with spokes. The smallest that I would use are 83mm. Something to note about the Eovan pack is that while it has fantastic range, the current output is not that high compared to some other packs, meaning you will not get quite as much power. Otherwise, looks like a great plan!

[@beozzie690]

Awesome board... can’t believe the price for the kit versus the completed one.. just mad

[@kevinhorstmann1435]

Now one with two motor in the front and two in the back... that could climb some serious hills...

Can I ask why you used double kingpin trucks instead of reverse kingpin trucks? You would get a lot more stability out of RKPs and you can tune the bushings to the way you want it to ride much easier.

[@DIYesk8Builders]

Very true and valid points. We just like the feeling of the dkp's!

Turning bro but the wobble factor.

[@brandonbennett9128]

Can you please do a review on the battery?I purchased one from you but my diy board is still in the process of being made, So I have yet to test it. How is it compared to a 12 S3P 18650 and a 12s4 P 18650 pack? Thanks.

[@chrisd6381]

It's pretty easy to look up the specs on the cells and compare watt hours and totall wattage output. Do a side by side w Samsung 30q's and 40t's and you'll get the info you need (keeping in mind a 4p and 3p configuration respectively).

[@dontdowhatido6503]

My skateboard is the same setup but different deck and trucks. Have my motor settings at 100amps and battery at 120amps. I can push thos amps because I use 6000mah 12s lipos 60c

[@DIYesk8Builders]

Thank you, yes so I definitely feel that people make the speed wobbles on dkp's out to be a lot worse than they actually are. While they are not as stable as other options, they still handle high speeds just fine in my opinon. Definitely a valid point though!

@@Zentao420 That is true especially in Joe Biden's economy. I went from being able to purchase a $5000 Bajaboard to the present Where I am struggling to even build my own budget board for like $1,500. Then there's the fact that I've lost about 40-50% of my 401k and then about 60 to 70% of all of my crypto investments. But of course 60-100 million Americans have a mental condition known as "TDS" which if you're not familiar is called "Trump Derangement Syndrome". Oh and I'm not being hyperbolic, It is actually a real disorder and I actually used to suffer from it as well. But sadly these types of people cannot put their ego and pride aside and admit that they screwed up and made the wrong choice. So now you have hundreds of millions of people that now have to suffer the ramifications of The actions of a large group of buffoons. Oh and those ramifications are felt not just domestically but globally as well. You can say what you want about the previous president and that's fine. However a year and a half ago we didn't have Russia invading Ukraine and we weren't in a proxy war with Russia via Ukraine and NATO to fight our battles. Oh and we certainly didn't have China encircling Taiwan and So far within the last 10 days have flown over 30 fighter jets over top of their defensive airspace nor did we see China firing live rounds right off of the coast of their island. Sadly all of the idiots who voted for this buffoon who's currently in office will do so again because they're mindless cult members who are brainwashed by propaganda and know absolutely nothing about government, economics or the entire history of the political parties involved. Hell it goes even beyond that. They really have no knowledge of really anything That matters. But hey they can tell you their favorite rapper and all of the names of the Kardashians. So as I said previously, you now have millions upon millions of people who have to suffer hardship as a result we can do nothing to help or stop the fact that we are staring down the barrel of world war 3 as well as the collapse of our own country as well. Oh and all so that we didn't have to listen to the orange man put out any divisive tweets anymore that were mean and hurt So many people's feelings. Get your ass out and vote in November. Owen whatever you do don't f****** vote Democrat. I did so for about 22-23 years. November 2021 in Virginia was the first time I voted Republican and I will never vote Democrat again. I think it's time that we pass a law where individuals can only vote in this country if they're able to place within a certain parameter of an IQ test.

[@lucesniper343]

Got a couple of questions. Can the Boardnamics motor mount work with the standard DKP 3 hole mount? I know this is a longshot but is also possible to mount the motors facing forward with DKP trucks. I know the middle kingpin would be in the way and the motor mounts that come with DKPs hole alignments most likely don't work but I'm way too into hiding my motors under my deck. I think it would work with some longer motor mounts to possible extend ahead of the middle kingpin.

[@DIYesk8Builders]

Hi, not sure about the boardnamics mount - I have seen that somewhere though. Also not sure about the inward mounting as we have never done that. I think there is a place that might called Janaux but I'm not sure

The specs for the lycaon battery are 18650 cells in 10S3P 36V 7.5Ah 270Wh and for the wowgo which I want to replace are 36V 10S2P. I want the range of the lycaon battery to upgrade my current board and was wondering if using the lycaon battery which is more powerful (about 15 km more range) will fry my esc, motors or anything and was wondering if the battery is compatible.

are the pulley covers not useless now? they only cover the belt part that is the tightest so it wont really protect from debree getting in

BKB Duo has absolutely NO competition. Demon 2.0 makes it look like a complete joke in terms of power, acceleration, torque, and speed. Mine arrived a few days ago and it’s just so powerful and perfect. Far more superior than my Verreal RS & friends Evolve GTR

I get that you DIY but what's the point if it's that expensive! Anybody can buy a meepo nls pro(650$ us)factory warranty liability 35 mph top speed hub motor though not hating just trying to understand!

[@DIYesk8Builders]

Yeah totally understand! So our board it has a top speed of 38 mph, however we have had some customers tell us that they have gotten to 41 mph. The meepo nls pro only gets 29 mph top speed and 20 miles of range. Our board gets around 30 miles of range. I also would think that the ride feel would be better on ours because of the bigger wheels and that the meepo nls pro has hubs, but we have never ridden one so thats just my thoughts. Also torque is a big thing, but I don't know how quick the meepo nls pro is but ours has really great torque. And for the warranty we also don't have as long of one as they do but we started our business with a different mindset then the other companies and we know what it is like buying skateboards and parts so we offer our live chat and email to everyone so that they can get skateboard help with anything esk8 related even if its not something they bought from us, it can be anything! We want to help out the community and new esk8 riders with everything we know and want to create a great and reliable service for people.

much love man that thing is so nasty. I am a fan of everything but the deck. I think that is a personal thing though. I am going to get that mechanical kit for my DIY.

[@DIYesk8Builders]

Thanks! Yeah everyone has their own deck preference. Yeah definitely, its a crazy good set up especially with the ability to easily switch to the AT wheels

I mean it makes sense. Most electric longboards that are at that power and range is around that price if not more. The battery alone is expensive on its own. Obviously it would be nicer if it was cheaper but thats the market

[@cabrail100]

@@hihipoo6824 u guess but if u look at e scooters that are less than 1k even 700 for fact and speed range is more . But we have here skateboard which is smaller in size small wheels card board and battery and it cost 2000k sometig is not right here .

[@vivi-fe5rj]

You could make something similar if you're thrift and buy used parts or hop on sales for ~1200. Sure it's more than a scooter, but I don't like the look of scooters and skateboards are more fun to me.

[@hihipoo6824]

@@vivi-fe5rj yeah longboards are more fun imo. But if u scavenge the parts u probably won't be able to hit the speed or range of this model for the 1200. Then again I could be wrong. They're is always someone who sells a part for ridiculously cheap and it's new

I'd rather spend $1300 for the Miles Phantom, which is my next board, and this is someone who spent $1800 for a Onewheel XR. The Phantom has 30 miles and range and 28 - 30+ mph and cloud wheels. No brainier for me.

@@vAxiom $5k?..... You might as well buy a used car or a motorcycle at that price, but that's just me. $5k is a lot of extra money laying around the house under your couch. Lol

[@vAxiom]

@@Evolve816 ya... I have no use for another car. And a motorcycle means higher insurance which I ain’t doin. I’m just much more interested in a bigger battery since my demon 1.0 doesn’t last me even half the amount of time I want to be riding for....I’m also heavy on the throttle so.... I get minimal battery life.

@@vAxiom Dang must be nice not to need a car. Lol where I live we don't have a choice. So I definitely feel ya on no extra insurance and maintenance cost. So how fast is your demon and what's the current range?

[@MadDonJuan]

Why you never show the speed advertised? And I think you should not cover the deck crews because those are vary Bridle and easily break, you will have to replace them all the time. Same thing came on my Verreal RS and is the weakest point on the board. Every one been breaking them. I replaced with 6m×25 black oxide steel screws, problem gone, wonderful tutorial in the build tho...

[@enjoyesk8978]

It will not do 38mph. Closer to 30. I highly doubt that they get the mileage they say either.

[@DIYesk8Builders]

@Eric Fical We will be putting out an update video with a speed tests, the sound of the motors(which some people are asking for), reviews that people are making about the Demon 2.0. I don't know why you think that we are over spec'ing the board.

[@enjoyesk8978]

@@DIYesk8Builders it will be interesting to see if it can reach that speed and range. I support your channel and what you do even if there is some exaggeration with speed and range. Also I know there’s a lot of variables like rider weight, wind and riding conditions. I wouldn’t attempt going over 30 with my double kingpin trucks. Way too unstable
