In the wake of the holy spirit Crab Raccoon, I present Abyss.
What
I want a sleeper thane build that’ll easy outpace a production board without looking bulky. I currently bring Dawn, my kaly build, to school every day. It’s a bit ridiculous. I was supposed to have my floatwheel done for this, but seemingly that ain’t happening any time soon (thanks rails).
I’m not sure about my battery config yet. This enclosure easily fits in a 12s3p p42a, but I’m not sure I want all that heft. I’m thinking 12s2p will probably be enough.
Why
Honestly, I saw this amazing deal and couldn’t say no. The deck is soooo sleek and minimalistic. It has some good concave on the edges, a ridiculous amount of space in the enclosure given its size, and the price.
Motors have about 1cm of ground clearance, which is not enough for NYC streets. I’m gonna add another 8mm riser to the rear and angle the motors up a bit more. I’m also considering switching to caguamas. With the extra 8mm riser, I shouldn’t have wheelbite from the cags. These kegels barely clear. My original plan was 184mm hangers, but I got wheelbite.
Rattle. The lid is directly on the carbon deck with no little gasket, which makes a shit ton of noise. It makes the board barely rideable. It’s louder than my gear driven boards
Motor mount clamps. Unfortunately, boardnamics didn’t have the precision clamps in stock when I bought this. With the regular 2 piece clamps, I lose some of the motor adjustment space. The belts are too tight and I need the new clamps to loosen them. I stuck with this size because it’s the same as the backfire zealot/exway flex, so I’ll easily be able to purchase belts locally.
I have to 3d model a cover for that hole in the lid that also leaves space for the unity power button + charge port. Should be fun considering I have very minimal cad experience. WCGW, right?
Then reply, and in that reply to yourself, draft a new post of your topic. You can edit it, see how it looks, and make it exactly how you want it, without publishing it. You can edit it for weeks if that’s what you need.
Then when you’re ready, just click the edit button, copy the post to the clipboard, and make a new topic, then paste it in and type the title…
Discourse also added a draft feature, I think, but I’ve been doing this since before that existed, so I haven’t used the draft feature.
Dude that is sad, it would totally fit the build aesthetic.
After reading the thread, if you want to use them you will need very big raisers and bigger wheels or an absurdly wide truck… So maybe a board that it’s wider than it is long?
i’ll likely switch to cags anyways. I have a set of evolve97s burning a hole in my pocket and I found someone who is willing to trade them for a set of blue caguamas.
i’m trying to avoid crazy ride height as much as I can. All of my boards are really low to the ground and feel much more planted and stable as a result.
