True, those builds are awesome and have a similar level of DIYness.
I think mine was the most unusual though :muscle:

PS: I’m recusing myself from Jackson’s poll due to a conflict of interest lol

I don’t think I have the most diy elements. If anything yours is clearly more diy. Never seen anything like the cyboard. You made the whole deck :exploding_head: I think if I had made my own ESC or something else too then I’d have a chance. But if you’re not going in that category… can I switch :rofl:

No disrespect intended because it’s a gorgeous build but it looks like he had the help of a pretty amazing welder and a metal fab shop. That’s the only reason I voted for him to go street build.

@jack.luis if you did way more of the metal work than I’m giving you credit for, PLEASE correct me so I can vote accordingly homie.

Don’t forget you’re still one of my faves :heart:

My money’s on OutRun.

Seriously, fiber optics inside the deck? That’s next level.

The whole thing was designed in CAD by myself as a giant origami kinda thing. It was all shipped to me pre cut and flat. I had to bring it to a fab to bend everything.

The design process included a lot of back and forth with my welder friend Frank. Mostly questions like “what would make this easier to weld?”

I think flyboy did more of a diy deck than me

Yeah, I used a laser cutter for the initial plywood shapes and did the rest by hand. SS is probably just a harder material to work, though
