Electric Longboard Build

     Getting ready to go off the school, I wanted a way to get around campus. I came across a project on Instuctables and decided to have a go at an electric longboard. Believe it or not, I was already familiar with most all of the components. They are mostly parts designed for RC planes and cars.

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Final Thoughts</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I am very happy with how this build turned out. I have the perfect amount of torque and just enough gearing for great speed (25mph top speed). I may really regret using cheap trucks in the future. Only broken one belt so far. I can get about 5 - 6 miles on the 5000mAh batteries. Happy to answer and questions about the build.</div>
