Problem Building my own electric skateboard

SKATEBOARD · Nov 1, 2018

Hello,
I bought a motor for the skateboard and a ESC to control the speed , so i found this (80A) and bought it .
someone told me that the motor and the ESC do not fit together and it won't work for me , is it correct ? and if so what cheap ESC do you recommend?

thank you

Sounds like a bit of an uphill problem to me!

Well it looks like the ESC won't get the best out of the motor although it should work. At a quick glance you have a sensored motor but a sensorless ESC, so it will behave as a sensorless motor and may give cogging efffects. Also, the ESC is only rated for 6S LiPo (i.e. 6 cells in series) but you need 8 to get max power from the motor. Be generous with the ESC rating if you want long life and reliability.

Think I'm getting a bit bored with this post, far too much slipping and sliding for my liking.

The ESC you have is for a Radio Controlled Helicopter. You need one of these torqueboards-2-4ghz-mini-remote-controller to go with it and it will work - do some more research while you're saving your money and you'll end up with something that is faster and safer - regenerative braking could be handy if your doing 30mph!
