Big Reds Boards (bigredsboards.com now live)

I try to make things work better. If you have a sticky situation on your build let me know.


Another shout out to @poastoast for the use of his design. :call_me_hand:t2:

You know me… just getting the job done. :man_shrugging:

I’ve got a propel endeavor pro battery that I pulled out for an upgrade… not totally sure on the miles or charges but the board I took it out of was pretty new and in good shape. Rode great before I took it out. 500 bucks OBO shipping is on you.


I also have a new set of black matrix 2s. $175 shipped in the lower 48.

@TheRef it would appear you owe some community members parts from projects that you failed to complete + money for undelivered orders/services.

What’s the word?

Copy pasta

I’ve got 2 decks I sent to get work done last spring got them back for carve 22. Sent them back in November due to QC issues with the work.

I’ve had previous work done with Ted and his been stand up. I’ve accepted that it’s ok if I don’t get stuff back based on outside of esk8 talks with him.

Rough patch for him this past year. But not everyone is as understanding as I

Edit: payment take by the way.

Seemingly stealing @hoytkid proto… Seems like ground for legal action

This is a kind approach by you, but is it that difficult to:

1: Communicate with people in 2023. Telegram/Whatsapp/text/facebook/the forum/telegram. No excuses.

2: Return boards/parts/money if you can’t do the work?

His communicated to me ok. But again I’m probably a one off nice guy to our vendors :joy:

His told me his going to make it right just doesn’t have a timeframe

But that take what you will folks.

@I_am_groot feel free to chime here if you want too.

So he can talk to you but no one else?

(No animosity towards you, as you’re good people.)

I agree with your statement. Doesn’t take much. Yes or no even.

Or a I fucked up.

He owes me a big ole battery that I’ve paid for back at the end of October and I’m hoping he follows through with it, as it took me some time to save up for. We’ve talked over Facebook messenger and he said he owes a few other people batteries that he is working full time to fulfill, but has no timeframe on completion. It’s been over a month now that I haven’t heard from him. He told me he has been going through a rough patch with mental health and I will leave that at that. I’m not ragging on the guy by any means as I’ve been there mentally as well. I just hope he is ok and makes it right with everyone he owes.

ok but why can’t he just send the money back then

I think he’s spent it and is why he is working full time to pay everything he owes back. It’s really messed up for sure but I can tell he is a good guy and will make it right with time.

considering that he has @hoytkid board litearlly FINISHED and he has ghosted him, I doubt it.

I’ll throw my 2c in. I worked with Ted quite a bit fixing ESCs for him and he was generally great to work with.

I shipped a box of repaired ESCs before making sure the payment went through. My mistake. He never paid and ghosted me after that.

Thing is, I get it. Life is tough and sometimes it doesn’t go the way you want it to. You never truly know what someone else is dealing with, and these small one man operations are hard to maintain over time. Especially if your livelihood depends on it. It’s low volume, low profit work that takes a lot of hours.

No hard feelings on my end. He clearly has some talent and makes some cool stuff. It’s not easy to deliver bad news to people when you fall behind. I hope he can work through these issues and come out better for it.

Ted sold me aa complete and the battery was rebuilt, he promised me that if anything happened to the battery or anything he would take care of it. Sure enough ever since getting the board I had nothing but problems… And now the battery is not working right and he won’t answer me. Ghosted on a 2300$ board. Don’t buy from him.
