Newb getting the shopping list together

Fantastic I’ve seen him around the forums didn’t realize he was a local that’s great I’ll be looking into him

After doing some more digging I think I’d rather just buy a new board and an enclosure that’s made for it and not screw around. Been looking at trampa boards but don’t know of many other options as I’m new to the diy side

This is like building my first pc years ago, and that’s a cake walk now. Lol I don’t even know the popular manufacturers for all this stuff or what’s available haha

I think that’s an excellent idea. I wish I had done this for my first build rather than trying to do the enclosure last and figuring “I’ll make it work” :joy: (spoiler alert: I didnt make it work)

I fucking loved my hummie deck. @Anubis sells them for a very reasonable price in the UK as well as selling A+ enclosures made by @BigBen , or you can contact @hummieee and see if he has any available in the US (though you’ll still have to source an enclosure, i recommend @BigBen).

Another option is @eBoosted. Alan sells great enclosures and sometimes has deck combos for sale. You can hit him up to see what he’s got.

Whatever you decide on, I can make a kick ass battery for it :slightly_smiling_face: feel free to message me and we can plan your build out to make sure youre buying a deck and enclosure that can fit the battery you want :metal:

Hell yeah dude. Ranger X1. I pre-ordered that shit :joy:

It is actually a pretty sweet pre-built. I commuted through a whole Portland winter and spring on that, and it’s the only board that I still have after I purged my esk8 hoard last fall.

All of the stuff in that picture is sold, except the backfire hahaha
