Hey Jason, Its really good to see you back in the community and really going back to how you started which is awesome.

Great to see you back at it 😊👍

Yes yes yes. Thank you. I've been doing this for years now. Started with a Teemo. Upgraded deck. Later motors/battery. New ESC and remotes. Thank you teemo/ownboard/wowgo/skullboard/meepo/lycaon and diy community. Did a full swap of hub motors recently took all apart to upgrade to rubber tires for fall/winter rides.

Awesome explanations!

Keep the videos coming.Great work!

HOLY EXACT "JON SNOW" (GAME OF THRONES) HAIRCUT!!!

RE- SPECT!!! WHA-DIDGA SAAAY?! (HEAD BANGING)

your latest video's have been so amazing giving magical insight into outsourcing production in china and how china brands completely dominate the market only months after new products are launched. tysm

I've done the start from scratch a few times and rejiggered an evolve with diy battery and OG focboxes added parallel packs to other stuff. Man I thought this was going to be boring and cringy AF. yeah ok the unity plug had to go in there. but this is good advice. Clear simple concise, not too much information for the beginner. I'll be honest I'm not an expert never will be, but I like critiquing YTers..... I reckon this is solid.

Pretty cool video. I have a Max4 Pro that I use as a spare. The 750W M5 hubs really are pretty nicely made, but I think they would really wake up with a different ESC. I didn’t spring for the battery upgrade because I didn’t realize the difference between 22P and 30Q. Those 22Ps (used in the 4.4 batteries) feel pretty sleepy after some riding. Jason was definitely right that you want to get the battery upgrade and think about the future.

7:42 Nice ringtone.

Good for you man...It takes a lot of courage do get back on the horse and put yourself out there! You can't help yourself, you're clearly passionate about eboards. You gotta be who you are...Can only suppress it for so long...You gotta be You no matter what! Cheers Jason. Btw just heard Australia is, for the first time in 30 years in a recession (guess things haven't been this bad since 1930s)...Crazy times. There are either dead ends or opportunities. The choice is ours to make (either way, whatever you choose you are right!). Looking forward to more vids!

Love the Pantera music. WALK!!!

You should see their Maxfind AT M6 kit, really impressive.

where can you get that 10s2p 40T battery pack for the maxfind?

This is so cool, you should start a company making eskates...

Hey man I have the maxfind max 4, it has this drive kit, I’m getting seconds of lost torque while accelerating up hill, and seconds of brake failure while going down hill. Any ideas what could cause this?

I bought an evolve gtx 2 years ago but recently upgraded the default battery to Samsung 30q cells.

Is that anywhere near the same motor that came with the raptor. What is the maximum rps and maps that that motor is able to handle without overheating?

ive been looking at buying this kit. Can anyone tell me about wheel bite on this kit? I want to put it on a cruiser deck that i have and am a bit unsure about the clearance of the wheels. the deck i want to use is a santa cruz cruiser style deck that dosent have spaces where the wheels go like on a long board deck. so my deck would hover over the wheels more.

Can you still buy the FOCBOX Unity? I love this concept of buying a kit and gradually upgrading as you go. It's a good way to dip your toes into the DIY scene.

The raptor should've come with a more aggressive sleeve for the motor for off road

Looking at building my next board will the focbox work with TORQUEBOARDS DIRECT DRIVE MOTOR KIT where can I purchase one any other recommendations ?

Samsung 30Q 10S2P, I say it'll go for 12-14KMs. Oooo I don't like those connectors onto the main body, just one hit and you've damaged the plug pins Not seeing any DIY with double king pins, ever since I got an Evolve I can never go back to single king pins.

Step two, finally able to unlock the adrenalin rush.

So the more i watch your videos , the more my anger diminishes towards the fact i feel cheated in purchasing a R2.1 from you. 2 years of saving and an insane wait not knowing when my working and saving and patience would finally pay off. Then when the day finally came , it felt like a 10 year on xmas morn. But within 2 weeks....major issues. Started with one of the motors starting to knock. Progressively worse daily. Then remote randomly losing connection briefly at the worst times it always felt like about once every couple days. ( one leading to a concussion but ride at your own risk so....) then the nail in the coffin. The wheels chipping to shit. Not even a full month of riding and it was R.I.P. not only to my R2.1 but also my over 3 years of saving and waiting to ride. Tried to get a replacement motor and wheels but well.....yeah. Seems those parts are now extinct. So you can imagine you werent popular with me. But its been almost 2 months since the board became useless due to massive defects and me giving up after weeks of searching for parts i could afford since warranty is well.....yeah. Im starting to get used to riding the bus again and cursing your name less. I think its the fact i can see your true passion for the sport , and can appreciate the effort and balls in took to start Enertion. I may have lost a board and a couple grand $. But i have cooled down enough to see it pales in comparision to what you must of lost. Cant say im still not a bit pissed but with every vid I start to see a bit less "Red". So guess i will save up once again and with vids like this possibly somehow Frankenstein my R2.1 back to life one day. Thank you for the vid. And thank you for having the courage to create the sickest Eboard in the world at one point in time. Best ride i ever had....dont tell my girlfriend i said that.

Found this video by accident. Great video and I love the idea of a component based future. I’d like to build my own board but I’m not an electrical engineer and I don’t want to build a battery.

The raptor is made mostly from commonly used DIY parts, pretty simple to fix if you look into it. Electric skateboards, like bikes, will always need ongoing maintenance & repair work done, so you should probably learn how to do it. Or you can pay a repair agent to help you out. Plenty of options.

569usd? Too much. DIY is too expensive. When I started I rly want to go DIY way but it was just much more expensive for no additional features.

Not going to get much for less... It's unwise to pay too much, but it's worse to pay too little. When you pay too much, you lose a little money - that's all. When you pay too little, you sometimes lose everything, because the thing you bought was incapable of doing the thing it was bought to do

Where can I find that upgraded battery with the samsung cells? Or do you have to make your own?
