Great build!
Are those Trampa replica bindings from ebay? How are they so far? Are they well made and pretty sturdy?

They’re from AliExpress, let me find a link for you when I get home…for the moment they have been holding up just fine! I’m just missing the heelstrap

Yes! My only gripe is that they use M5 bolts, and I’m used to oldschool M6 windsurf bindings…
This build got a facelift! My GF graduated from the short deck and 6354 motors that kept overheating in VERY rough terrain, so we build a new board for her (with a sick new deck in our DIY mould, keep your eyes peeled for the build thread!) and gifted this one to her father.
As crazy as it seems, the 60yo man loved the idea of eskating, tested it and wanted one right away “for chill rides with you guys”. He really likes the steampunk aesthetics so…
A LOT of sanding, red/black stain, mineral pitch, copper paint…not a mountainboard anymore, but a urban carver/garage queen. Really pleased with how it turned out!
His face was priceless!

Thanks a lot guys! I honestly don’t know how long the copper paint is gonna last (it is clear coated, but still…). But it sure does look better than the original blue anodized!
Also, I’m never painting a deck again, staining is where it’s at. I just LOVE the result, next time it’s gonna be blue!

How are those can protectors connected? If they are in between the base of the can and the mount, you are missing out on using the mount as a heat sink for your motors

They’re just between the crossbars and the mount, so I keep the cooling effect!
Basically Flipsky’s tolerances were so freaking terrible that I had to supplement the crossbars with 5-6 washers on each end. At that point I thought I could make use of that space and created the motor cans, but I’m still working on them because they either break too easily (printed in PETG) or rub against the motor too easily (printed in TPU)
