ValEllah ( DaughterBoard ) - Prototipo Deck | 12s5p 40T FrannyPack™ | MBS Oil slicks | Moon Drives | flipsky 6384 190kv | Metroboard 155s | Conflict-Free Unity | Hoyt/PPB

This is my “second build” … I haven’t actually built it… more like part swapped my way to it.

Originally planned to build everything from scratch, including custom battery build. But I told myself I’d build my commuter board first, Yet I haven’t. but it’s still my first planned build and this is my second. but done first… as you do.

Thanks to!!!

Dude this is gorgeous! So cool that you got your daughters artwork infused in your build. It fits really nicely together and rides great I’m sure.

What gear ratio did you go with?

Damn that looks sick

Also those gear derive spacers are huge! Wow!

Thank you!

currently 12T/44T but I also have the 14T to try if I don’t like the top speed. I did love the torque on 11T/44T 155s. that was fun for a bit. :slight_smile:

yeah… @moon has said the spacing from axel to bolt hole on the MBS trucks varies between trucks. ( bolt hole is for mountain board brakes, and moon drives motor mount uses that hole. ) and he has a spreadsheet. mine are like 10mm the high end of the ones he’s sampled. from 2mm - 11mm. which is a wide arse range. … something @Arch and team are also familiar with as lacroix used that bolt hole for their mounts.

and this is why i doubly thank @Venom121212 for his spacer design. it’d be pretty aesthetically unpleasing to me otherwise.

this is too funny. i didn’t see that interpretation till you pointed it out. wish I’d been clever enough to plan that effect… :smiley:

this thing has been renamed ValEllah by @Rubidium after hearing the graphic designers name was Ellah. and it’s stuck.
