I’m not sure if it’s complete or not, but i’ve nutted over this one a couple of times, I nominate @Guy

The universal board- 3 in 1 built thread (updating, going to be really special)

New thing that I’m working on for a while- Merging almost all my boards into one. The idea is to take base unit (deck/battery/bms/lights) and keep the trucks and esc as modules I can easily change. The boards that I want to make: E-Toxx mountain board setup Full suspension 2WD board for speeds Full suspension 4WD board for offroad [image] for the deck I used @IDEA deck since it’s the best solution for my requirements. this deck is really high quality wood and carbon lamination. I had …

[zero_ads]

I got no nice pics of just my board so here’s a screen grab lol

[JeffyJ]

I’m nominating @Tasventouras for his 4wd racer. He’s been killing it on the track with it too!

The Muckraker re-build & race progress - 4WD race board - octopus deck w/stooge track pack

I figured it was high time I contributed to this forum after many years of reading and gaining knowledge from you lot! Here’s my newly finished/rebuilt raceboard, after a handful of iterations. I come from primarily snowboard & mountainboarding background so my original raceboard was essentially a mountainboard (from 2wd to 4wd). As great as it performed and as close as I nipped at @JeffyJ 's heels I was still lacking manoeuvrability around hairpin turns on the track and tended to slide around …

I’ll likely nominate more but anything else i immediately thought of from top of my head had already been nominated.

[Tasventouras]

Thanks @JeffyJ, heres my pic

Copying a longboard deck

Hi guys, some time ago i finished welding up my deck press. [IMG_20230410_124729] So what to do when you have a press but no mould? Copy a deck ofcourse Some time ago i got approached by someone to see if i could remake the century 40 deck by subsonic, since apparently they have gone belly up. Here is how its been attempted. [IMG_20230506_095248] Get idea. [IMG_20230513_101441] Yeah babyyy a crude drawing. [IMG_20230513_112010] Gone to the metal boys, they let you cut your ow…

Copying a longboard deck

This one does not meet SHITTY BOTY 2023 nom criteria. It needs to be rideable before the end of the year. This is likely eligible for SHITTY BOTY 2024 though.

[zero_ads]

Are you thinking of one of last years nominees?

[glyphiks]

TECHNICALLY @MatteoFPV couldn’t compete last year as he didn’t finish the build until mid Jan 2023

No name yet. Dual Flipsky 6374, Focbox Unity, 100mm Boa Wheels, DIY Integrated Evo Deck, P42a

I think it about time to share my plans for my new Build. It is going to be an Evo copy deck wich i’m going to Build myself, since i have acces to a big woodworking shop with a big industrial CNC machine. It is going to be an integrated Deck Build, with a lid on the Top for accesebility. I’m gonne be making a 10s4p Molicel P42A Battery Pack soon. It will be driven by two 6374 FS Motors and a Focbox Unity. Also Using a LTT Smart BMS for Discharge only. Enough said, here are some pics of the start…

So I am definitely nominating this one as well. It was the core influence for Frankendick the second and that one has become one of my favourite and most reliable boards ever.
