What up, dudes? I told y'all I'd be back with a better machine, and here it is. Completely designed and built by myself, this build features a Flux deck and enclosure, 20s6p battery, 63100 motors, a Spintend controller, and Hypertrucks. I wasn't planning on pushing the board this hard, as I'm still getting the kinks worked out, but it was running great, so I sent it. The rear end was a little loose here from some unwelcomed preload changes, but this is what 10850 watts looks like. Sub to the channel and stay tuned.
Wow! What an amazing machine! One of the best e board videos I've watched!
I love it 🤩 keep it up. Good to see you're doing alright. I've been max8
Ing out my unmodded LaCroix LSSS (~45mph). It's pretty crazy you can stay standing at 55mph. There are a lot of little imperfections in the drive train that vibrate and can cause wobbles at these speeds
45 is faster than most will ever go. Keep pushing
@@wiggpickle I like cruising at 35mph. It feels safe. After 35 I get excited-anxious and have to really put in some effort keeping the board stable.
I noticed you are using a full foot strap on your front foot and not just a half strap/brace. I would love to ride with these, but I'm pretty concerned about falling with a 50-60lb board stuck to my feet. Doesn't that worry you falling with the board attached? It's a lot of additional energy to slow down with. I feel like it would rip my ankle up.
As always, amazing. You make it look so easy
I saw the wobbles of death! 😱
holy shit dude, really enjoying the videos. don't let comments and fans make you do anything you don't feel comfortable doing. with that said i am enjoying you push these machines further as you are doing.
Thank you! My comments and fans are definitely appreciated, but I don't do anything I'm not comfortable with. I'm actually a bit bored with it and am trying to find some motivation to continue.
Awesome recovery, that was rad
wow mate. Those speed wobbles. Far out!
Hey Lewis, I have more and more respect for your way of riding every day, you are an esk8 rider record but you are going over the limits, have fun and don't get hurt, you were close to getting hurt at the end of the video, and please buy better protections so you can ride at such speeds.
Hey, Nelson. I appreciate your concern, but I just bought $500 worth of new safety equipment! Full leathers are next
im so happy to have the same deck that you have ,,,makes me so happy to have something like your board FLUX decks are so good
I'm definitely enjoying the Flux deck and enclosure combination!
I thought 35 was scary , I need a death machine upgrade
35 is plenty fast 👍
The ending is my favorite you 👍
Wtf.. that's insanely powerful 👀
Man, I need to get on my board more. It's nowhere near the league your board is in though. Your custom is a beast!
I'm gonna try similar angles on my next ride. My cam is usually significantly higher or lower than yours but I like the perspective in your videos more.
Thanks. Yeah, I try to keep it right around my hip level and not let it dip or rise too much in turns.
@@wiggpickle It's working!
God damn dude, I shat my pants for you xD
So wich deck do you like better, Flux or Lacroix?
lol all is well that ends well!
For my purposes, the Flux deck is better. With the large enclosure, its a no-brainer. Ultimately, I need a wide and stiff deck with a long standing platform. The best option would be a custom deck. That will happen in the future
Astounding!!!!
This is really helpful 🙏🏻 thanks dude!
For sure. Looking forward to seeing you out there!
Solid Video! ⚡️Your a Savage Bro!🤘🏽😅
Thanks and thanks for watching!
Damn Heath you are getting after it! Do I see a new Esk8 company in the making?
My Wrong CZcams channel but you get the point lol
You need to be at these races! lol If the margins were there, I would love to start up a company. Unfortunately, I don't think there's a large enough market for death machine electric skateboards, but who knows what the future holds.
Cool. I've got exactly the same build, albeit with a (puny) 12s10p P42A pack. Same deck/trucks/wheels/insta360 camera (🤣). Think I need to get a stormcore and bigger battery now 👍
Plutonium user and abuser. The best high there is, is when screaming down the road at full send on a calm summer night..
Might just be me but feels like ur board isn't long enough for you (by foot placement) im short so mine works out well for me.. always remember how a trailer works, better to be further forward than stand in mid (specially mid turn where there is 50/50 weight distribution). HF, don't die! 😂❤
Amazing speed - Which camera do you use? INSTA360? I'm looking to buy one but I'm not sure which model to get.
Thank you. Insta360 ONE X2. It's been a great camera. Works well after a year of abuse. Microphone is just about useless at high speeds, but they all will be. I reccomend it
Quick question, why do you have a riser on the hypertrucks? I thought the standard Fluxmotion deck and enclosure had sufficient clearance with the red hypertruck baseplates?
That's there to change the angle of the rear truck. It's a wedge, essentially.
@@wiggpickle What was the reason for changing the truck angle? Reduce the angle to make it less responsive?
Exactly. Stability.
Well shit, now that I realize whats possible, I'm realizing mine isn't good enough lmfao
Hey man would you have any kind of parts lists for this build id love to build one similar
Hi, u running with mbs roady tyres ? The speed are awesome
Bro how yhu be building these?
haha..over shot bro...but ilove it..🤪
hoooly fuck how the hell did you manage to stay on through those speed wobbles? I've never seen anything like this. At these speeds? People eat shit within the first second.
It's all in the geometry and setup. I would have slipped out instantly on stock truck angles
@@wiggpickle you modified the angle of the hypertruck?
Yeah. Rear end is at 13° here
@@wiggpickle is the aim to create less angle and turning ability? What hypertruck bushings are you riding these speeds with? Next level here dude. Glad your getting on the track. Safest place to rag it
The aim is to get the rear end as stable as possible. That includes removing some rear steering angle, removing torsional slop, etc. I'm using standard green and white bushings. Thanks and thanks for watching
for the 20s6p, what batteries are you using???
P42A's
How about adding an hydraulic steering damper to prevent wobbles?
Currently working on it
What are the benefist of a 20p pack over something more normal like a 12p in the 2 in 1 boards?
Power and rpm. Wattage (power) is voltage multiplied by amperage. Motor rpm is dependent on voltage. The more voltage you have, the faster your motors will spin. So, with high voltage, you can have both torque and high speed. Take a 12s setup geared for 36 mph and apply 20s to it, it's now going to spin 60 mph. You retain all the torque of the 12s, but grow more power and rpm on top of that. Higher voltage is also more efficient.
@@wiggpickle is there any disadvantages to high voltage then because this sounds like all positive in terms of performance
No disadvantage outside of cost. You need more cells and battery building supplies. The electronics required to run higher voltage (esc, bms, motors) are more expensive.
@@wiggpickle thats interesting, i have no idea about electronics on this level so im clueless tbh. How are the motors handling such high voltage being basically overclocked unless theyre build for that.
I love your videos. But as a long-time motorcycle rider, I must tell you. Wear some thick gloves.
Thanks for watching. I've been looking for a good glove solution. Problems are: they have to comply with my left wrist guard and they have to allow for fine control of my remote in my right hand. Hopefully I'll find a solution soon
@@wiggpickle Right on man! You can always chop the gloves to fit your specs. I personally buy cheap mechanic gloves from auto stores ($12) and I chop one or two fingers to touch the mobile screen. In short, anything that covers your skin will minimize the damage. Keep up the good work!
Wow! I could feel your board has so much pent-up energy and power, she is begging to go faster… Just saying lol…
Yeah, this baby needs some room to stretch it's legs! I might try to hit 60 on it.. We'll see what happens!
@@wiggpickle damn you can set a world record with those speeds
There have been a few guys going much faster on electric boards, but yes, this is very fast for this style of board.

This is crazy! What was the total build cost?
I put about $3000 into the build, but used some parts I already had (mainly trucks, hubs, and remote/receiver. Total build cost is somewhere around 5k if you were to build the battery. 6k if someone were to outsource the battery build. I'll make a build video soon detailing the cost, etc.
@@wiggpickle thats a sick-ass custom ride man, thanks for putting in the work in sharing your build !
Broches please send me the list to set up my board
im building this, and im gonna add a speed chute , checkout "redbull speedriding" and imagine the possibilities
