    Also quick re-upload note: UA-cam does not process HEVC format well....
    Lesson learnt:
    -After nearly having my shoe and board purposely being run over by a truck and cars running me off to the side of the curb countless numbers of times, It seems drivers wanna run over electric longboards MORE than bikes (and electric scooters)
    -Don't buy anything from DIYElectricskateboard. (Dexter is a dick and there are loads of forums online complaining about his cheap low quality components)
    -The new VESC 6 is way better than the VESC4.
    -Foam/rubber tape is way nicer than regular skate griptape for longboards
    -Doing the board DIY means you can upgrade it to a dual motor or better components whenever you want
    Thanks to SkateMetric's "FoostedBoard" build guide for the initial components purchase list

    Is it okay to dry run the motors to show your friends ? I'm assuming yes cause tons of people do it

    Really enjoyed this tutorial. Can you post links to the upgraded ESC and Motor?

      Don't think I can but I got the EMAKERS VESC from their website (The MiniFOC Plus).
      Flipsky was the same just on their website (190kV 6355 Motor Sealed)
      Hope that helps :P

      not sure where you're based but probably your local online DIY e-board store would be your best bet!

    I agree that building is part of the fun, but for anyone who can't be bothered (or doesn't want to risk messing something up), and wants a nice board similar to a (now no longer in business) Boosted, check out these brands: Exway, Meepo, Backfire, Wowgo, Apsuboard, and Verreal. There are a ton of great options out there in a variety of price points from those manufacturers.
