0 - 50 MPH Electric Skateboard Acceleration - 20S DIY ESK8 RECORD-

Do not attempt. If you do, do it well and wear proper safety equipment.
I've been electric boarding for 2.5 years. This is my first build, V1. I went from Evolve - Lacroix 12s - Lacroix 18s - DIY.
Starting up the conversation for electric skateboard acceleration.
This is a 6.9 second 0-50 MPH acceleration run. This is a record, as far as I know. 50 MPH is around 72% duty cycle with this gearing, so I have enough headroom to further reduce gearing. I have a few ideas to improve acceleration. Immediate goal is 0-50 in 5.XX.

Awesome! I want to shoot my Eskateboard vlog on THIS board!!! Keep shredding dude! 🤟

[@CraigTaylorYT]

that's impressive Heath. Wow!!!

[@dimsum3806]

Wow mate, that board is insane.
what is your gearing?
I'm riding the OG Nazare and hitting only 42mph but dang.. your board is insane.
Why did you choose the hypertrucks for your build instead of like kaly's electric stabilisation trucks? Heard a lot about them.
Did you build the battery yourself or did you go with the LSSS battery for your build?
Cheers mate

Thanks. I'm currently running 20/72 gearing. The OG Naz is what got me started in high speed esk8. They're great boards, but run out of steam in the 40's.
I chose the Hypertrucks because they're what I am used to, they can do they job, and I have a good fundamental understanding of them. Although I don't know much about the Kaly trucks, they perform well and their electronic stabilization system works as advertised. I'm running a custom 20s6p P42a battery that I built myself.
Thanks for watching.
Ride safe
