Definitely agree with this. Enclosure fitting was the hardest part of my first build.

Don’t fall for it guys, this is the equivalent of the first hit is free.
You will soon be homeless doing unspeakable things for more esk8 parts.

Why don’t we choose first a battery based on the performances we want to achieved (using a calculator) and then choose a deck and enclosure to fit the chosen battery ?
If you choose your enclosure before your battery, you restrict your performance possibilities to fit the enclosure (imagine you want a 12S5P for range and discharge value but the already chosen deck and enclosure can’t accept the battery). I know enclosures are difficult to deal with as I faced this problem with every build I made cos I use Lipos.
What did I miss ? What is wrong with the way I think of it ?

Very nice, it’s a good thing, we need to do the same for EU parts, because that would be quit expensive here to get those parts !

One part was left off the list and that was a charge because as it sits you will have fun for about an hour or so and then you wont be able to charge it back up.

Sometimes that way is better. I’m trying to help avoid common mistakes by noob builders. Having a pile of stuff that won’t fit on your deck and you have no enclosure is a common problem.

Sure about that ?

I scrolled right over that. Thanks for pointing out my missteps

Honestly, 99% of the time the deck is most important decision. That decision will either make or break an esk8. I usually start with a deck, make a tentative decision on what I want in a battery and trucks, then go look for an enclosure and lastly make sure all my parts work together.

Because we’re full grown and the 36 isn’t lol

But like…people here ride tiny boards all the time, you’d get the same foot space as a nickle board at least right?
This! 
with the drop you have about 28in of usable real estate to stand on, not enough for most people.

Its one thing to stand over the trucks on a shot board. Its awkward having that same 28inch stance when standing between the trucks.

I actually nap on my board sometimes so that definitely wouldn’t be enough for that 
I targeted for a 350€ build, but ended up with almost 600.
