what you want is this
And I'll have you know that the lube Zealous uses is over $5 an oz, where as bones is probably cents.
There's probably vids on YouTube for what's acceptable noise and change noises. I have been running stock bearings on the drive wheels and zealous on front for over 600mi on the v1 and about 200 mi on the v2. Put them in when I got the boards and haven't changed since.
Skip the ceramics, these free spin at least as long as bone ceramics and are cheap to replace. Zealous bearings on amazon https://www.amazon.com/Zealous-Bearings-Longboards-Skateboards/dp/B00BL9VCRE

Okay so I have a lot of questions... I'm sorry in advance, I'm really new to this.
I live in a fairly hilly town so power is a must. I'm looking for a dual motor setup with at least a 10-12 mile range. Some parts I picked already are listed below. All Except the trucks are subject to change. I'm going for a white primary with gold accents theme.
If I were to set up a dual motor board
• Which motor mount should I buy?
• Is this MOTOR the best one on the market for its price right now? I'm looking for crazy power! :)
• Which motor pulley do I need for a dual motor setup?
• What electronics do I need to run this setup?
• Where can I find a frame to hold the 18650's and electronics?
• How do you wire these things? I'm honestly just shooting in the dark here...
I already have the board , bearings , remote , and trucks picked out.
If you have any suggestions, please please feel free to add them.
I feel like I'm missing something here...
I own a 3D printer so if there are any extra casings that I need I can just print it.
I appreciate all your help!
EDIT:
Willing to provide compensation or barter for someone to source all these parts and manuals for me

Yeah, I'm just going to buy new ones. Never heard of Zealous before. So I just toss these (https://www.amazon.com/Zealous-Bearings-Longboards-Skateboards/dp/B00BL9VCRE/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1502134439&sr=8-1&keywords=zealous+bearings) in the wheels and screw the wheel on and that's it? No need for the inner or out washers or anything??
