Adjustable or super low angle baseplates is definitely the proper way to do this.
Just adding a block like that will also make the board feel like it is riding high.
everyone worth doing can be done with wood

I’m going to try work it out this weekend since I’m busy with the last few school days and the holiday coming up, will post My solution
Defiently agree, but with the limited ressource i have on had it would be hard for me to get an adjustable base plate

@Franky, I ended up going the 3d printed route lmao. I’ll let you know if I die (or I won’t be able to?)
Sorry to everyone, didn’t touch the subject for a few days because school comes first, but ended up scrapping the idea after some research and first outcast of designs, reason being the way i would’ve done it, i would’ve risked the wood cracking while riding, and i don’t wanna lose my brain yet.
@annihil8ted
Let me know, highly interested if it’ll be good enough. My school has a 3d printer which i can use, so i might try it if it goes well for you.

me personally I wouldn’t trust a plastic part in that critical location, especially a 3d printed one… but hey… maybe it’s just me…

Kinda skeptical myself, but hey, what doesn’t kill you only makes you stronger, i think…

Thanks! Although hopefully not literally haha
Yeah I’ll give it a go at slow speeds but i would recommend reprinting it in ABS. Mine is in PETG so I’ll let you know how it holds up. I do dislike the fact the STL I found had holes made for M4 instead of M5/ 10-32

Can’t really tell but are those adjustable?

nope merely wedged!
I don’t really like the extra height that adjustable angle baseplates add…

It rides really fun, is split angle 65°-35°, I ride it around analog and fuk with it, but it’s soon to be 'lectrified…
but if I ever want to decrease the front truck angle (increase the wedge angle), I’ll fabricate an aluminum riser and drill the mounting bolts thru the riser and deck on an angle, with an x-thingie on top also drilled at the necessary angle

For me, most aluminum wedges cost too much although I guess the comparison becomes cheap risers or potentially my health and safety

I’m not speaking about an aluminum riser like your PETG one, just a simple angled wedge riser, IMHO they only become problematic when they get over 10-ish degrees because of the bolts and odd angles to get into the deck, but if you get a 35° baseplate, and add a 15° wedge, you can effectively get yourself back to 50° on a 30° angled deck, then if you redrill the holes in the wedge and the deck and the x-thingie you have a pretty solid set-up…

this is why I don’t prefer adj. base plates…
ya the tunnel risers makes things worse hah. Need to space so motors don’t hit the deck though
