If you were able to tune into the live stream, Thank you so much! It was such a great time hanging out with all of you!
The dream build and hot content would be wowgo 3x diy build with direct drive motor or exway flex with direct drive - trust me it will be hot fire in diy community ! Just suggestion look forward to it
I purchased a complete direct drive kit from this company and put it together over the last week. I started riding yesterday and cannot express how happy I am with the purchase. This board exceeded all my expectations. It is soooo fast! I cannot ride past mode 2. I live in a small town north of Dallas Texas and was riding it around town when I decided to buzz past a baseball tournament. The entire game stopped to watch me ride. It's not like riding a skateboard; it's more like a snowboard with unlimited trails, no lift lines, and no cold. Wow, the build was really easy, almost plug and play. So fun! Did I mention I'm turning 55 next month.
I just got into esk8 and of all the places I've found I like mboards the most
Love the site layout, love the customer service I received, the product looks good and I love these videos!
Thank you so much!
Programming instructions are almost always precise and easy to understand.
I turned my traditional skateboard in to a mountain board by mounting the trucks to the nose. Definitely lighter and easier to send it.
ME 4 months ago: "I just need a slow cheap board. Let me buy this $600 board."
Me 3 months ago: "I really like this eBoarding thing!"
Me now: "I need 3000wattsX2=6000w peak and 30 miles range"
Actually 600 is not cheap. There ha many budget board around 600 dollars performed much better than this diy board, at least with larger ranges than this board.
Excellent video to fuel the community. This level of commitment to your customers is awesome. great job - great idea.
Thank you so much!
I would like to see a prebuilt board with your motors on it and compare it to the original performance. just an idea but it would be really cool if you did it!
Wonderful video. It's my dream to build one of those since I was a child. Now it seems realistic. Greetings from Spain, thanks for the video and info. :)
For the guy askin about a speaker. JBL makes a Bluetooth speaker with a built in carabiner. Super easy just hook it to your belt loop and you’re ready to jam!
Yes! Solid option!
Great video, Thank you for doing this build very informative 👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾
i use bungy cables to strap my ue megaboom to my board and its fine, battery on the speaker lasts about as much as the board, 3-4 hours+
For the speaker power supply idea off of the boards Maine battery the device needed is called DC step down Buck converter
Great video, perfect! thanks for sacrificing your weekend to make fools like us understanding a little more about DIY electric skateboard.
One question: ¿Is it okay to go downhill for a moment with one of these during a daily ride? ¿Does it harms electronics? Thanks beforehand.
Coasting down a hill is perfectly fine 👍🏻
Thanks! :)))
Hello Mike! i have a Lion 18650 - 10S5P battery 36V, power 360 Wh. Capacity 10 Ah. I wanted to ask you a help. How can i know how much this battery can give discharge amps? I need to adjust it on the Vesc settings. Please tell me what should i do, how can i find out. Thank you!
Hey Mike!
I think it would be awesome if you guys offered decks on your site! I get that they would be more annoying to deal with and ship. But, I just recently bought a Revel kit and I was struggling to try to find a nice looking longboard deck (either like the vanguard, which I ended up getting, or a drop thru without the drop thru). I think you could make a pretty penny if you had a line of decks with varying shapes and flexibleness. You definitely would have had my business. I want to DIY a board in the near future too. So, if you get decks you really could be my one-stop-shop for everything I would need for the board itself.
Now I have no idea what that would take from a business standpoint for you. That may even be impossible. But, it would be cool for sure!
Thank you extremely helpful video! One question, if you use threadlocker on bolts, can you undo/remove them?
Very cool man - watched the whole thing (not live though). quick question - is it possible to mount the motor out the back of the board and up the kicker? to have more space between the trucks for a bigger battery and compartment for the electronics?
Do you have such details for direct drive..?
Can it be replaced by belt one as there's no replacement wheels for direct drives...
I just ordered your 12s4p battery and a all the remaining parts I needed.. how long should I expect to wait for my battery to arrive?
12s4p have been insanely popular! Great choice! We are expecting our next batch in 1-2 weeks now. Will ship out immediately!
I am trying to build a board with a range of over 50 miles. Yes, I know its a lot. But mine can already go 25 and after seeing the Lacroix Nazare (with a range of 50-60 miles) and seeing it possible Id like to build my own. Without price being an issue, what battery setup would be the best? Id like to buy battery packs but I am prepared to build my own pack if I need to. Thanks for the help!
🔥 What is the free shipping coupon code? Does it work with shipping to europe?
Sorry this has nothing to do with this video, but what wheels would you recommend putting on a 27 inch cruiser deck with a kick tail similar to the size of nickel board for a direct drive DIY? I just plan on using it for college and just cruising from class to class. I ask this because I’ve never bought skateboard wheels in my life, if you could help me out that’d be great! Budget doesn’t matter, just give me a relative size and durometer level you think will do well and ill take it from there, btw the sidewalks at my school are not the best! Thanks!
might be you talking about UBL audio brand about speakers stuff you just mentioned
hahaha ... luv ya contagious enthusiasm ... hahaha
I want to get a kit. But what board can I use cause on the website I only see kits but no board where am I gonna mount the wheels & motor to?
I have a cruiser board but want to put a 10s4p battery one it. What is the minimum length between the trucks that you recommend for a battery that size?
You’d want at least 25in between your trucks to allow room for an enclosure and motors.
@@MBoardsco thank you, I’ll measure before I order stuff
Running backwards isn't fine. show us how to correct this.. switching two wires takes maybe10 seconds, do it right...
I explain this during the live stream. If I remember correctly, this particular ESC was giving me trouble when I switched the wires and really wanted me to invert the motors with in the Vesc Tool which we didn’t have time to do Live.
nice vid.
can you please review the 70mm dual hub motors or build a board with them?
Yes! Definitely planning on doing a ton of different builds very soon
Hi there, I would like to ask a question please if you don't mind.
Are hub motor skins All a standard fit. Mine are 90mm x 57. I don't know motor brand but board is a Black Hawk electric Pro Series V3. Thank you.
I have a 5ft longboard that I'm converting to electric I decided to go with dual 6374 motor. I'm a solid 265lbs and the board itself is heavy. What battery should I used to power it? I want to get at least 18-22 miles and at least 15mph
I’d go for a 10s4p 👍🏻
@@MBoardsco awesome sauce! Thanks bro! Since I'm building this over time. I'm not too worried about the price of parts. Id rather do it once and right than having to fix it.. I'm thinking the vesc would be better in my case.. Is there anything else in forgetting that will help and fit in the housing?
A Vesc is definitely a better choice over a basic ESC. I’d also get an antispark switch 👍🏻
@@MBoardsco that's the jawn that plugs into the side and loops back into itself right?
@@MBoardsco so basically I have the board, motors, mounts, and I've decided on that 10s4p battery you recommended. Aside from the antispark switch, remote, cover, and wheels. What else do I need?.. First time builder, in case that wasn't clear lol..
Do you have to use a special type of truck to accommodate the pully gear ⚙️ that goes on the wheel ?
It depends on the gear. Many of them will hang over the hanger allowing for a normal sized axle.
But some pulleys require extra axle space.
Thank you. I ended up watching all of your videos and you do an excellent job explaining in details how to build your own electric skate board. Love the website and I’m looking to start ordering parts. Planning on picking up a couple parts per month to spread the initial cost out a little. I like to do things right the first time and that’s gonna cost me $$$$
Hey man, great vid - thanks! Inside your battery, is the negative lead hooked up to the BMS or is it bypass?
Could you please do a VECS configuration set up video for a 10s2P configuration for a 250kV motor.
We’ve got a VESC configuration tutorial on our channel! It goes over what numbers to select based on the components you are using 👍🏻
what's the best place to buy skateboard stuff I have an evolve bamboo GT r and now want to build my own but I want something 12's with badass motors still all-terrain wheels though I want top end gear do you have a good store to buy stuff from online
mboards.co
what size of motors & trucks you installed Sir
Can you please do another live stream like that his even maybe do a review of the revel kit that would be great. 👍🏽
Definitely need to do another live stream!
How come eskate companies havent adopted the removeable/interchangeable battery system on their boards? Seems like the obvious play, people would definitely purchase extra batteries to extend their range by quickly switching the battery within a second or two on a long range ride.
It’s definitely a great idea that a few have done in the past, would love to do something like this in the future. Just a little bit tricky getting a battery case with integrated connector that can snap into a another case on the board. Doable but just a bit more capital intensive for sure.
@@MBoardsco agreed. I think Inboard M1 was on the right track with their battery design. Pop off the top and place the battery in, throw the dead battery in your backpack and off you go back riding within seconds.
Can I use any of the vesc controlers on a regular esc?
any chance you could publish a list of stuff you actually have in stock somewhere? hard to tell from your website.
Working on a live stock counter now 👍🏻
Where can you buy a belt cover?
Sky is pronounced sky
Can you customize the meepo V3.
Do ESCs differ based on the type of skateboard system u use? As in hub motor or belt driven?
They can. Many electric skateboard oriented ESCs are many times configured for a specific KV rated motor. So some ESCs are optimized for belt driven Motors, some are optimized for Hub.
MBoards thank you!
Hav you ever personally used Trampa VESCs?
do the mboard trucks work with dropthrough boards or should i get a new board
MBoards trucks do work with Drop Through decks 👍🏻
What type of esc would you use on that board if you didn’t want to program anything???
You could use this one:
www.mboards.co/collections/escs/products/single-belt-driven-motor-esc
Just a simple ESC that’ll work right out of the box 👍🏻
MBoards thanks
Where is the deck from
Tighter is better than loose, "as far as the belts go." Roflmao
what dual vesc’s do you recommend for two 6374 motors?
flipsky 6.6 is top of the line rn
Very cool company.
Is a power switch necessary?
A power switch isn’t technically required but highly recommended.
Hey Mike! Great video! Got a question. I recently purchased a teamgee electric longboard, and after less than a year its starting to do weird things it shouldn't do. I was thinking about buying a whole new one, but then I decided to rebuild my current board to my preferences. Right now it's top speed is 42kph which I have never even hit, and a range of about 25km in perfect conditions. What I'd like to do is replace the 10s bottom mounted battery with dual top mounted 6s3p batteries in parallel, so I'd get a lower top speed, but way more range. If I understood your other video, that would mean I'd also need a dual hub motor esc for 6s batteries, and a casing or two, but everything else could be salvaged. I've never tried anything like this, so I figured I'd ask you first. Could it be done?
This all sounds exactly right!
Running the 2 6s3p batteries would make a 6s6p battery giving you a ton of range.
You would need to make sure you get yourself a 6s ESC.
Other than that, your motors would work perfectly.
Let me know if have any other questions!
Why don’t ppl use rc/drone batteries?
Haven't gotten an email back in 4 days now after I sent in a question about a product I just purchased.....
We are current on emails! Check your inbox for a response!
Nice build, but this is why Budged DIY doesn't make sense, 600$ 1 motor and 8 miles of range and 20mph.
Its totally fine for a beginner. One could easily upgrade to a second motor and get a different gear ratio. In the result of doing that, you would get better torque (two motors) and higher top speed(gear ratio)
For just a bit more you can upgrade this to 25+mph and 10-12 miles of range.
your too busy talking and not thinking, was boring to watch
The point of this video was not to entertain, but to educate.
