Gorgeous
Awesome looking board!
Thanks, this kind of quick development was only really possible because others were willing to share their work which is why I’m always willing to share back. Thanks @LR-designs and @MorrisHsu
Looks frighten amazing. I think they easily the coolest looking mounts! Thanks for the shoutout
How can one get his hands on those drives?
There was a group buy a while back
Perfect adaptation. I hate the idea of something like this sitting in someones closet because of the issues you mentioned- you saved them!
I don’t have much experience with Surf Rodz- do they actually come with those red spacers, and what appears to be internally threaded axles?
Love the look of this build, beautiful and unique. Love the way the cans stick out the back.
Wow that looks soooooo nice! beautiful work! What a clean build, now I really want a set of those! If anyone is selling hit me up!
Yeah but apparently that was a one off chance to get them.
Yep
Ill see if i can make a bevel gear drive after i do my batch of wheels. It was one of the first things i worked on but i abandoned it a bit bc i thought his were 100x better.
You can see it in my banner still.
This is a really sweet project and thanks for sharing that mod, out of interest what did the mod cost you monetary wise?
This is probably the best bit, I was going to use Boardnamics hangers, the stock adapter fits the 220 fine. I’m wondering now if there is room for a bearing inside the wheel pulley using the stock adapter? Guessing no
Not too bad if you have access to CNC as the bearings are around $30usd. I actually paid for a service this time since I didn’t want to bother my CNC colleague with the tolerances of a press fit. Xeometry was sending me discount codes for a while following a small job we did with them so I used that. They were made in China as the cheapest option (shameful, but right around $150 for both, instead of $650 from the US). Their prices fluctuate a bit but you can upload a model and get an instant quote.
Maytech’s newest gen dual trigger is def a step up from the vx2. Flipsky has something new on the horizon as well.
I really wanted to like the Wand, but I think it missed the mark. Aside from other things, the main problem for me is the thumbwheel height and shape. I’m constantly re-adjusting my thumb while riding because the shape doesn’t sit right and the height of it means that it can occasionally catch my glove or something and send a jolt.
It’s up for sell or trade to anyone that likes it.
That’s just for me, but I have gloves on and I don’t need to re-adjust my thumb on my Wand.
That’s good that it works for some. I had the Wand on this board for the longest time during testing and everyone that wanted to ride said the same thing about it.
I think the pistol grip would be mandatory.
