Turnigy SK8 Skateboard Conversion Kit
If you've been eyeing a boosted board, a powered skateboard, but don't want to pay the $1000+ it costs to get one, you might be interested in the Turnigy SK8 Conversion Kit for your own non-powered skateboard.
Easy and Fun Event Transportation
Events are a blast and getting larger all the time. Walking around to get from one end of the field to another is great for your body, but not very fun. If you've been eyeing a boosted board, a powered skateboard, but don't want to pay the $1000+ it costs to get one, you might be interested in the Turnigy SK8 Conversion Kit for your own non-powered skateboard.
The kit utilizes a Turnigy 2000W motor which has plenty of torque and power. It also includes a Turnigy 50A skateboard ESC that features regenerative braking. It has steel trucks and high speed bearings to go with the new wheels. This is an easy conversion to do and take an existing standard skateboard and turns it into a mean machine for getting around.
You do need to provide some parts and you may already have them in your hobby room. It requires two 6000mAH 5S Lipos which can be used in series or parallel, some connectors and a pistol grip radio system. The kit costs $291 and is available at HobbyKing right now.

Now that's cool!
So the batteries can be run series or parallel...5s 12,000 mah or 10s 6,000mah? 10s skateboard sounds scary LOL |
