I have had a couple of projects on the go so its time to share some..

I started out on my "Original" longboard with my home made paddle, didn't take long till i got a little bored with the speed.


I am an Auto sparky/electronics technician by trade so thought i would try and build my own electric skateboard, it is basically a remote control car attached to a skateboard but has an outrunner airplane motor.
everything was sourced from a RC website except the bracket which i had to by from the UK. ( eventually was to make my own bracket)


Here are some pictures, This isn't a tech or build forum so i won't bore you with the build details but by all means if you have any questions fire away.



I have recorded speeds on gps of up to 44kph with the motor only tunes to 30% capacity!!!!!!!
It is capable of 25 km trips (i haven't really pushed it any further yet)
I have also towed a mate on his skateboard for 10 plus K's (160kg weight both riders)
