I don’t mind the noise from sHFI, but I was just lazy and didn’t wanna optimized sHFI settings.

I’m so lazy that I haven’t even set up shfi

They’re pretty good, even with barely any tuning in the couple hundred miles I ran them.

Testing the Singularity bushings from @RipTideSports and im gonna have to redesign the riser as this is untenable 
.
Also adding some skid plates - the truck bed liner is good but im too mean to it
Held on with 3m extra heavy duty double sided tape and if that doesn’t work im gonna try some 3M 5200 marine adhesive but i want the tape to work as it’s way easier to mess with.
Gonna keep perfecting the shape but keep it a a flat sheet and not conforming to the enclosure edges as i want to send it to scs and get it cut from ti so i can throw sparks id i bottom out 
might add a little bend to the leading edge to help prevent peal off but only if it needs it

Another great epoxy is West Systems G-Flex epoxy.
I think you can get it on amazon. Is extremely strong and highly shock resistant.

Nothing Fancy’s skid plates are held on with hot glue. Works great, and I can easily replace the plates with just a heat gun

Your skid plates are part of the inspiration for my attempt and why i think the 3m tape is worth a try first. So far it is holding up very nicely but im still under a hundred miles on the v1 so im gonna see when they fall off. They got soaked in a little cloud burst and seem plenty good afa weather proof.
Gonna tune the shape a bit next

You spelt isopropyl wrong
Integrated the wedges into the riser, this is absolutely the max possible without drilling the baseplate and using nylock nuts. Probably going to do that eventually but i need new bolts and to finish all the singularity trials.

I feel like that riser is asking for trouble. I could cut and belt sand a block of Alu to the right size and maybe mill out a chunk for weight. It would be ideal to have separate screws like the 3d servisas angled riser but that’s a whole lot harder to make, we can tap 2 sets of threads into the aluminium which is fine if they are really long or drill and tap for the outer holes and fasten normally the inner screws.

The screws are actually shorter on this version than my original but are at about the maximum safe length i feel. Any curb hit or solid knock and ive got to replace everything just for safety. Failure during use im not worried about but ya, a milled alu riser would be way better and make the whole assembly more stout. If you have access to a mill i could send you the step files? Otherwise i have an expensive guy local i was going to get a quote from. He does large volume stuff so not really set up to do single one off hyper nerd bs like i always ask him to do 
. Center of the riser (mis point of the wedge) is 23mm front and back so my bolts are 42mm

Only hand machines not cnc I’m afraid, I’ll get back to you this Thursday I need to check if the mill is actually working. If it’s not I can drill and tap instead of slot and use nuts
The good thing about kid-in-school’s-metalwork-room is it will be the cheapest option but I can’t make it fit a baseplate perfectly and get wider by the deck like that.
Just made this to show what I mean idk if the dimensions are right that’s a 5 degree angle and 25mm at the tallest point. It would cost €23.5 of AliExpress 6061, shipping would be €17-€24 and you would have them around the end of May, I’m fine to make them before receiving payment me screwing it up is a risk. I won’t charge more than materials and shipping you are amazing for helping people troubleshoot and fix stuff on the forum.

That’s a great idea, but shipping to the west coast us seems a bit much. When i finish changing the angles every three days im gonna use your method and make something stronger. I think separating the riser from the wedge to keep the screws straight is a great idea.
i want a manageable break point in the system somewhere. If everything on the truck/riser/wedge assembly is stronger than the interface at the deck itself the failure will be the deck and that’s hard to replace. Also these printed risers hit a fence post at 30mph and failed in a limp home way and not dangerously.
Cant wait until the second installment of singularity bushings gets here. Another tweak or two and these will be finalized. Tried to get some video last night doing deep carves from 10mph all the way up to about 30mph and ended up with a bunch of footage of my backpack straps . Didn’t have the camera pointed right

Happy with the singularity setup now. 30 degrees up front and b93a. 20degree rear and also b93a bushing
Carves so nice i made some new smaller more dense risers with the de-wedding built in
Pulled the LP20 charger port off and put in an xt60h because i just like them better
Finally feel like the frit is broken in but it killed a pair of shoes
I was honestly kinda worried i liked the dualities so much id have to rework everything and put them on this board but the singularity bushings - though not quite the same feel - are so good im not changing anything. May switch to novas after i kill these kendas. Definitely not getting another set of kendas.
Also doubled my skate wall because the quiver grew… gonna have to make another build thread

Absolutely trashed my gear drives, was racing a rar (dumb i know) on alki at about 35 - hit a massive tree root, got air (this boy don’t fly) landed on second root and banged the drives hard. This is what i suspect stripped some or all of the m4 bolts that connect the clamp to the drive. Got another 2 miles down the road towards home and the clamp completely disconnected from the drives and i took a superman fall at 12mph. Attempted a roadside repair but no luck. Uber of shame time but wife was up and happy to grab me.
All in all it wasn’t that bad. Got some shiny new m5 by 18mm to replace them. Original bolts were 16mm but had more room to engage further so i used 18mm but had to file the last thread off if them to make sure it didn’t interfere with the spur gear bearing. Gave the locktite a full 72hrs to cure and put it all back together
Also redid the light mounts as one had gotten loose from abuse. Was going to replace the sensors but got impatient and had loaned out my gear puller. Next time
Small test ride after giving my remote a once over and all seems well and good.

Wild…
So all back together…
Why do you kids go so fast… dang…
Fast is fun too. Slow is fun, fast is fun. Also fun is fun. Fixing is fun too sometimes.
Ya it’s all back and running properly again. I actually fall more when im just going slow and goofing around than when im being speedy. Most recent fall was pushing… because thats fun sometimes too. I literally was jelly legged and had plenty of battery but caught the tip of my shoe on the rear wheel. Rolled the 8mph fall into a little skinned elbow and thought to myself - im just gonna ride the rest of the way home 
. Silly fall but the weather was perfect and the exercise was feeling great ¯_(ツ)_/¯
