Think the long neck mostly is to make room for pneumatics and the drop. I have Moes drive train (gear) facing inward on the Xapham. But on the other red ember deck I have (with a similar long neck) I preferred it outward (belts). You could do what ever feels good.

If it fits it sits 
if you’ve got no worry about the deck hitting the motors why wouldn’t you?

@davidbonde does it feel different inboard ?
The last time I had a board with this config was… a boosted gen 1 in 2015

If it does (and I think it does - just cant put words on it and it’s a minor thing) I think it’s all in my head. Out wards just seem to appeal better to me. With tkp you should have more room for inward though.

Nice!
I forget every time how much of a bitch this stuff is to work with. It’s like the crazy ex you keep getting back with even though she tried to cut you with a knife last time around. @Sender I don’t know how you do it.

I welcome the communities collective doubt. I am more stubborn about making things work than anyone.
4 layers glass below, 3 up top. Using pigmented epoxy.

@Arzamenable Are you looking to water/dust proof this board all the time? What about making an air cooling top cover. Like a hood scoop facing forward taking in air at high speeds and vent out the back. Swap in the current cover when weatherproofing is needed.

There is already a gap in the front of the enclosure and deck that would act like a scoop.
I don’t run Esc too hot really, but I’ve considered this.
Tomorrow, sand some more and another 2-3 thin pigmented expoxy layers.
Happy to post intermediate steps that look iffy, shit will buff out.

I’m going to finish with clear epoxy just to be a dick. Call it “rat rod” style or “nothing is sacred”, I’m purposely not putting my fucking eyeliner on for y’all.
It’s wicked stiff. No longer creaks when you bounce on it.
I have a chubby unicorn stashed in Hawaii that I should cut up to use as a spacer to clean up the enclosure mating. Maybe BJ 2021.
