Tomiboi or sportster imo
This started as a joke answer but then I saw youāre already running a pelican case, would you consider a ThreeSix Double Drop? Aluminium (yes fully metal deck), nice W concave, double drop, not as heavy as youād expect because of the cutout patterns
One of my acoustic buddies uses one as a downhill slide deck and I really like it, though the W fucks me up a bit

I have a three six mini and Iām pretty sure itād win a fight with a car. Theyāre sturdy as hell.
Warning: aluminum decks will absolutely murder your feet.

Yeah I just checked the price and ooof, but I completely understand it because theyāre ridiculous things. I want to make a sleek top battery and electronics mount somehow, think like an underbelly enclosure but a bit taller and without covering the foot wells

Ha. Top mount. Iāve been too busy to finish it but I have a custom bottom mount enclosure for mine x)
@ShutterShock really killed it making this thing.

Iām both a wimp, and accustomed to my friendās ~65mm wheels + double drop on the ThreeSix, so there aināt exactly a lot of ground clearance to begin with
I have like 50 decks if anyone wants one. Not desperate enough financially to make the effort!

do we know if its dimensionally identical to the regular switch blade? like would switchblade enclosures fit on this?
wow dude. so.
wow.
did it just snap mid ride? what was it like when it failedā¦
I am running a 42 with DKP top mountedā¦
I wonder if I can break mineā¦

I think thereās only a 38" right now, but most enclosures are designed for the 40". Otherwise it sounds like itās identical minus the drop through cutouts.

You can break it. Thatās a universal truth. It is simply a matter of how it could break. Seeing the amount of drop downs that break at the drop, I donāt think id build one without reinforcing it.

Well i did hit something that caudef it to snap 
however it wasnt aggressive beyond the point of qhat i think a deck should def be able to handle. I ran over one of those bike lane post knobbie things at maybe 20mph. I fell off and rolled it off just fine, turned around amd saw my deck totally snapped. It was like the base of one of these bike lane posts
It was white and i thought it was a kn95 mask at first actually and then noticed it was not ā¦it didnt have all the weird shapeness to it tho that this one has. Was literally just a shallow perfectly rounded little hump on the road

Def a little disappointed in the deck. I think it couldve had a factory defect or a crack or something already, cuz this shouldnt happen so easily on a demonseed

I feel like yours might be like the 3rd or 4thone I have seen snapped like thatā¦
but yeah. with 10 plys and as thick as it is one would expect it to be indestructibleā¦

I was looking at those, I would totally do it wallet be damned!
Wonder what the affects of the weight would be?
Whatās a normal deck weigh? A thic reinforced deck?
If you have a drill you can get some aluminum flat bar from your local home good store for a couple bucks and just drill the wholes your self. Will they look as good probably not.
I could be wrong but Iām fairly sure it doesnāt make much of a difference. Weight of rolling elements (wheels, pulleys, motors) matters quite a bit, but weight of the deck not as much. The difference between a 2.5kg deck like the ThreeSix and a 1.2-1.7kg of something more standard/light like a Loaded Vanguard really isnāt going to make a big difference to range or efficiency (I think), because itās the total weight you need to worry about. ie, youāre pushing a 70~120kg assembly of deck, electronics, wheels, and rider, so 1kg isnāt gonna be noticed.
Going from urethane to pneumatics means spinning up big wheels and constantly having to rotate something thatās now ~450+g for just a pneumatic hub, tube, and tire, instead of ~250g for 85mm caguamas. Plus bigger pulleys, youāre now roughly double the rotating weight, so that does make a difference to ride feel and efficiency. Just highlighting this because small weight difference matter for rotating when there isnāt a lot of mass there anyway, and less so when itās just lumped in with a human

I have the blank moose version, they are identical in drop & length only diff is the nose and tail. Iām 190lbs and it has barely any flex to it and itās cheaper if you wanted to check it out.
