      @earl7693 2 года назад

      Prebuilts are most popular because they come pre programmed. The 80s didn’t have custom built PCBs and open source software to help manufacturers. Id love to see you boot up VESC tool and program my DIY to a functional state. Latency free wireless remote with speed and voltage monitor. The 80s doesn’t even compare to what we have today lol

  • @litlclutch
    @litlclutch 2 года назад

    While I think it looks great I feel like the Logo is kinda upside down... if it is held by the handle then the logo will be upside down to those looking at it... also would have had the Logo on the top oriented away from the person on the board as it has a shape that looks like an arrow so it kinda looks like it points backwards... so if it was placed the other way the arrow would point in the direction of forwards... its all minor things IMO but regardless of my critiques I think you did a great job.

You can’t go wrong with backfire boards or Tyneeboard or Meepoboard and I think Tyneeboard is coming out with a super powerful board in the next week or so that’ll supposedly beat stuff like the evolve hadean. That’s the board im probably going to get once they release it

    @bigoof1321 2 года назад +1

    lol for everyone saying this isn’t diy, literally the only difference from a true diy build is sourcing the parts individually, a diy board is basically just as plug and play as using parts from a pre built lol, honestly making a deck is a lot more impressive than plugging in a bunch of garbo over priced amazon parts and slapping them on a pre made deck. no one ever actually “makes” an electric skateboard and the most diy it gets is making your own battery which isn’t even cost effective if your only making one pack so it doesn’t even matter for someone looking to make a board and if your making more than one pack you already know what your doing and don’t need this entertainment over instruction video anyways
