The build is currently in progress. Hoping to have it done by fall. The deck for this build is the deck I used on my first diy build. I commonly referred to that build as a nightmare do to the constant rigging and issues it had. I went with a Gengar design and as it happens one of his move’s is called nightmare so it works out perfectly haha. I contacted @Sender to see if he could help me with the shape that this deck was in and well…
I must have spent hours on the fabric site debating the designs. At one point I almost settled on the dog with sunglasses as it’d of been legendary haha.
The Battery
A few weeks back IMR had a sale on HG2’s, $4 each and free shipping. I scooped up 48 for less than $200 shipped.
I have @Sender skinning a @BigBen Evo enclosure as well. I plan on having @longhairedboy build me one of his signature sexy flexy packs in 12S4P, but it seems 12S5P might fit with a fat gasket or an externally mounted unity. I plan to use bergs on this build and am skeptical of my max range with dual 6374’s. So the 5P is super tempting to eliminate range anxiety… Also the extra power would be nice.
For the wheels I have settled on getting a set of bergs. I really wanted to get a set of Moe’s race wheels after trying them on my buddies board. They’re so fucking nice. Can’t get a set now so I decided on getting a set of Bergs with the anodized purple rims. Should look sweet.
Whenever Surfrodz decides to restock their 200mm RKP’s I’ll snag a set. Matte black hangars with purple 50 degree base plates for a 65-35 Evo . For mounts I bought a set of quick66’s from @IndianGummy. Would like to reverse mount them but forward might be possible.
The motors I plan to use are my 200KV 6374 Maytechs. I had them mounted on this board before with a 10S4P 30Q and trampa urban treads. My range was pretty bad, Like less than 15 miles. So if I can do 12S5P I’d be set.

That’s it for now.
I’ll keep updating this thread as the board comes together. Super stoked to get it assembled!
By the way do you want any special requests for anodizing? Normally don’t do this but this looks like a badass board and deserves some flair from the drivetrain
based on that picture 60 cells in front of that unity may work if the BMS was on top of the cells near the unity and you also used a thin riser on the box, maybe half a centimeter or thereabouts.
Ok dope, I’ll order the extra 12 cells and ship them to @ThermalM16. Once @Sender is finished I’ll have the deck and enclosure shipped to him as well and he can drop it all off.
Ok, it’s been over a month and I figured I’d update this thread.
I’ve switched from the Big Ben Evo enclosure that Tim was gonna sell me to a EBoosted DS. The clearance for 12S5P in the Big Ben enclosure was cutting it super close. Since I’m going with the EBoosted DS I didn’t wanna only put a 12S5P in it… so I upped the cells to 12S6P.
I changed the remote I planned on using from the hoyt puck to the Flipsky VX1.
I bought it because the NY crew talked it up quite a bit. Seems like a solid remote. I already purchased the bigger battery for it too.
I wanted 2 50 degree surfrodz baseplates but they only had 1 50 and 1 45. So now it’ll be a 65/30 split on the Evo. I’m not even mad as I got a set of 200mm RKP’s with extended axles for $140.
I was already starting to think that. The Black Berg’s seem like they would give it an awesome stealthy look. I’m not too sure how noticeable the base plates and drives will be compared to the wheels anyway. Going purple could be weird as I know those purples wheels would definitely stick out.
. For mounts I bought a set of quick66’s from @IndianGummy. Would like to reverse mount them but forward might be possible.
Go black wheels i reckon. Wicked looking board.
