I’ve seen all your pictures and I’ve finally been swayed. I think I’m going to try to start building my first eMTB/ pneumatic setup but I guess that depends heavily on what’s available. Is it possible to get a Kaly deck+ enclosure or something similar? Not a bindings guys, wanting more of a street/urban setup with 200x50 or 200x75s. Most MBS parts are still out of stock. I think this is going to be tough to accumulate parts for this one. But here’s what’s on the shelf ready so far.
Trucks and drivetrain are undecided, but I think a narrower profile looks better. Any recommendations welcome really haven’t been paying much attention to MTB parts. To be honest I’ve built like 6/7 street boards and only one had six shooters for a day which immediately ran a flat. So I’ve never really ridden pneumatics either.
Here’s what I would recommend as a starting point. You can use this list to start comparison shopping the difference options out there.
Haero Bro deck
MBS Matrix ii trucks
MBS Rockstar ii wheels (kenda 200x50 tires) @Boardnamics M1 AT gear drive or @moon gear drive
Top mounted 12s5p with your P42A’s
Xenith, maybe on an Infinity Sink heatsink
Slap that all in a cheap pelican-knockoff case.
That would be a rugged, fun build. I’m a big fan of top-mounting the electronics, even if you plan to mostly ride on the road. It makes things much easier and cleaner, as well as more rugged and waterproof.
Yes, but I would recommend against it. I’ve got two friends who have switched or are looking to switch from that deck to the Bro, because the kaly deck isn’t super comfortable for them.
Budget is pretty open (not hypertrucks kinda open lol) Probably don’t want to go any bigger than 60 21700s since I don’t want the weight to be obnoxious. Course I don’t have a point of comparison here either.
Its literally a full drivetrain minus motors and motor pulleys. For $850 that’s not bad, especially considering how awesome these trucks are. I’ve never used the Matrix ii’s, but I can tell you from experience that the hype around the Hypertrucks is well deserved.
The Kaly decks I have tried have no concave. They have the little wings or “gas pedals” as they are sometimes called. But those are not equivalent to concave. I see the function of them, but I find them extremely uncomfortable.
Dude do a flux on hypers and call it a day
But that’s my build in the future
or wait to see if colab comes out with a new deck
The bro is blowing up this year and @BigBen@eBoosted are making enclosures
Or if you can find a Proto (unattainable)you can maybe squeeze some surfrodz
Century- subsonic they are going out of business so with your skills you could make something ATish cool😎
Alright well that makes things a little different. Kaly deck is uncomfortable and the concave isn’t so nice? …Just been curious to try one of these arched Trampa style decks.
I can tell the Haero Bro deck has better concave and would probably be the most comfortable ride, but I guess I was trying to avoid the snowboard look. Sticking to under-mount enclosure so would have to source or make.
Flux deck looks nice but also seems to be polarizing in terms of how people like it. The combo package is appealing though.
@bboybowzer Lives in that area and was telling me on telegram
Everything on their site right now is what they have in stock once they sell out they’re done
hmm
they make really good boards
