Individually the components used in the build are for the most part common. With @Senderās skin work and @moonās gear drive combined with SUrf Rodz TKPās, Psychotiller 6 Shooters, massive 10s6p battery pack all on a LaCroix deck itās a new level of awesome.
A little history, in a short timeā¦
- I like Dragons, always have. If I was a Dragon I would definitely burn cities and have a massive gold horde, so yeah.
- The beginning of this design process was to build something to take to Colorado that would be fast, long range, comfortable and epic. I think that has happened, in epic fashion.
This build is the culmination of 6 months of planning, the help of many people including @Sender and @moon and lots of testing.
@Sender did all of the finish work on a LaCroix second (there was a couple little defects in the CF, nothing structural). In fact, on his new build he wanted a 12s6p so I just traded him cells for a complete battery, I came out well on that trade 
. @Sender had so much to do with this build, its as much his as it is mine. You rock brother and I appreciate you.
I have been working with @moon for months on this gear drive system, itās everything I wanted in a gear driven drivetrain, he did an excellent job. The covers are my own design, which is still preliminary and will be available to everyone for free as soon as I finalize the model. I have a couple of things I want to change, like the depth can be slightly less that its current form, I want to add internal filets to control the grease flow on turn and I am adding a bumper option to the motor side of the cover for rear mount motors.
Most people are using adjustable mounts to make Surf Rodz trucks fit MTB decks, I had the Unik Risers from another build that I wasnāt happy with so I used them instead of spending more money. I am so happy with them, solid as hell.
I am currently using an old Benchwheel remote I had, waiting on a used Hoyt Puck from another person on the esk8 scene, should have it this weekend.
I will update the build sheet and data calculations as the config and or hardware changes, but I donāt see anything significant coming up.
The ride experience is incredible. Itās so comfortable and Iām really locked in. Its fast and extremely curvy (cones street side front and back). Glass Frit is so much better than grip tape, I donāt even know how to describe it, you just need to experience it. I rode for about 10 miles last night and barely touched the battery, I figured the efficiency at 80% since Iām running pneumatics but I think itās going to be closer to 90%.
