Hey everyone!
I wanted to share my board with you.
I started electric skateboarding about 7 years ago, first on a Wowgo 2S. Since then, a lot of time has passed and quite a few boards have been under my feet, but for the past two years I’ve been riding an Exway Atlas Pro 4WD.
For a while now, I’ve been interested in racing and wanted to give it a shot. Over the past months, I started modifying my Atlas. Since I’m still not very experienced in racing, I decided not to go for a completely new build, but instead upgrade my current board.
TRUCKS:
My first goal was to get a realy good truck. I considered the Duality, but because of the flat deck and clearance, I ended up going with a 3-link setup. Big thanks to @Esk8Cave for the Idea adapters. The carbon Atlas deck isn’t very compatible with the SRB 3-link + Idea adapter, so I had to make some modifications to make everything fit.
WHEELS:
As for wheels, I heard a lot of good things about the Exway CST tires, so I went with those. I’m running them on MBS Rockstar Pro II XL hubs with 15 mm spacers.
BINDINGS:
Since I didn’t want to drill into the carbon deck around the battery, I’m not using F5 bindings, but Exway’s stock bindings instead. They’re not as comfortable as F5s, but they get the job done.
OPEN GEAR DRIVE:
In the near future, I’d like to install a VESC and build a custom battery as well. To make the setup more future-proof, I also swapped the belt drive for an open gear drive. Huge thanks to @Dinnye for the help with that! The pinions and spur gears are SLM 3D printed from steel.
