    Music x Tech if you want cheap you need to go through a chinese direct company. Building your own e-board is actually more expensive part for part then buying the complete board. Some good options are Meepo, backfire, Yeeplay, teamgee. For what you get it’s a better deal but your still looking at around 350 usd starting price for these entry level boards. Also make sure you buy from someone that has a 6 month warranty minimum, a lot of things can go wrong with an e-board, I speak from experience.

Is there an easy way to set a board up so that you can customize voltage and capacity at will. Say I want 3 5s in series for 15v to max out speed. Then want to quickly change them to parallel 5v for capacity. What is the compatabilty with motors and other parts to do this?

    The Kit-Builder is really awesome. Is it possible to build a dual Belt motor setup with the 6374 motors on a caliber truck? Is there enough space for it? And can the Dual Motor ESC with the remote hold up with the two motors, or would it be to weak? Greetings from germany, Filip

  • @MBoardsco

    @MBoardsco

    5 жыл бұрын

    There isn’t enough room for 2 6374s to sit side by side on caliber trucks. We’ve seen builders mount one motor under the board and the other motor behind the board. Generally you’d go with dual 6355s. The basic ESCs are good starter ESCs or a more affordable alternative, but with any type of performance build you’ll want to go with Vescs. They will be much more reliable.

    Great point! DIY is more than just cost. The customization factor and the ability to upgrade parts as you go instead of buying a complete new board is where the true value comes in. Making repairs yourself is also a lot easier with DIY set ups. Many times board manufacturers have lengthy repair times/zero after purchase support. Definitely different points of view but there’s a board out there for everyone 👍🏻
