Introduce Yourself and Share Your Plans (SERIOUS)

Hey everyone, my name is Kaleb. I’m studying auto mechanics in northern Utah. Even though my title says regular I still feel new. Probably because I am still in the research and buying part of my first board. But I am looking at building a BIG BOY. 12s8p batt hummie deck w/custom integrated enclosure, dual 6374 tb gear drive, and 120 iWonder wheels.

Me too! I have the motors and the wheels, just ordered the deck, still trying to find the trucks and escs for me. There are so many options and I am partially stuck between budget and wanting to go full out.
Edit: I know I want to go with a dkp truck setup and from what I’ve read two escs is the way to go.

Hi,

Name’s Thomas (Tom), french guy living in Prague for the past 8 years. Been longboarding for the past 6 years, fist time I jumped on it, I broke my meniscus… Moved to e-board 3 years ago as my company decided to move location. First board was a Meepo V2, which hooked me to the thing. Been putting roughly 1000km on it, before moving to DIY made of 12s5p Samsung 30Q, Unity, and Raptor 2.1 drivetrain. This shit broke my wrist in 3 places, titanium upgrade, and all that…

Currently rocking the same configuration but with TB DD and 110’s, put roughly 2500km on it so far, no issue whatsoever. I am in love with them, can’t get enough.

My plan for the end of winter is to upgrade to the new TB 40’ deck, and 12s8p made of either Sanyo 20700B or Samsung 40T, with TB enclosure that goes with it.

Howdy,

From the Great White North. I’ve been voraciously reading this forum for the past few months and am planning my first DIY build. I recently bought a bkb dual kit and was instantly hooked on the feeling of a powerful board propelling me at near-alarming levels of torque (at least imo a I’d only ever ridden a cheap hub board before).

I’ve almost collected all the parts for this build which will be based off of this beautiful downhill deck from Kebbek. 12s4p and big fuckin thanes on this one w a belt drive! Will start a build thread once I get my hands on a battery and TIA to all the resident experts for what is sure to be a lot of much-needed help and a steep learning curve.

And just a straight up high five to the community for being fucking awesome! The witty reparté makes my day just about everyday. :beer::beer:

Cheers,

Chris

Hey everyone! I’m Jordan, I’m an aerospace eng student from Canada.
My build consists of me trying to salvage anything I can from the stupid & naive build I started a few years ago without having a single clue what I was doing. I’m almost at the finish line and looking forward to tearing shit up with as many of y’all as I can when it’s done :smiley:
