tech diy question, boosts welcome 

People who are building fun things to ride on during events: do you have any tips on where to get started?

After seeing people have tons of fun with home built vehicles at #gpn20 I really want to make my own.

I already have a rough design planned out but I'm wondering where I could source the parts cheaply.
I've seen lots of vehicles built from these "hoverboard" things but those still seem a bit expensive, at least on eBay.

@dysphoricunicorn hoverboard motors are definitely the way to go, they're really good for the price and the pcb's have all been reverse engineered too. try looking for broken ones, usually it's just the battery pack that died (although your vehicle will need something to power it as well)

yes i know adblockers exist but i like watching YouTube on my phone and can't be bothered with the hackyness to get rid of them there
