A 6S battery gives 21, 6V. Your motors are very power hungry at for example 600W (I'm takign a very low guess here as you state them higher in your video. Does that mean you pull 600/21, 6 = 27, 7Amps out of your pack? Sure they are 6S2P, so each cell is then asked for 13, 85A continuously? Seriously? What am I missing here since I thought these 18650 Cells are not made for more than 2/3 A discharge. Can you explain a little?

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?

Hi There, I would love to see a video on how to convert the components for a motorized scooter into a motorized cable trolley for returning a rider to the starting point of a zip line/tow rope for back yard skiing/sledding. Love your videos, thanks!

I have bought hub motors that you said from Aliexpress but I got less powerful version. Your motor had current around 35 amps my is only 16 amps. Maybe you can mention that somewhere so others people don't buy it.

Hey, Great tutorial, but I'm thinking if it isn't cheaper to buy an electric longboard than build it. I know it's not the same, but personally need to know that doing it by myself it's worth it. ;-)

Surprised you didn't go with the Li-Po flat pack cells instead of the 18650's. I would think those would be a more cost effective and better option for a skateboard.

Favorite open source project by far. Software, hardware, all great and thoughtful. Benjamin is prolific and the vesc is super useful. I'm a long time fan.

i'm really confused, why would a skateboard have a motor above around 500w? some of these motors online are in the 5KW range! do you want to go 100 mph?

Dear sir, very good informative video as usual. Please make a video on programmable power supply 0-30VDC/ 5A by using arduino and lcd. Thanks in advance
