Hell Bells, This will fly🏁 looking fwd to action this weekend. Barrett is a high speed off road event with washboard, whoop and reverse moguls. This board will do well. Nice work @Arzamenable

Wow awesome work @Arzamenable! I was gonna mention that the structural integrity of the deck may be compromized by removing 30% of the material, but you’ve clearly got that covered!

Did you add FG to the bottom?

This thread makes me so happy and also very, very hungry. Need me a lipo and/or 4wd setup. I’m beginning to outgrow what I’ve built already. More Watts more FUN!

There is zero tape on build. Only one piece of Velcro for an RF relay to control lights remotely (might take it out).

Everything else is held down with metal fasteners anchored in metal inserts.

The CF interior was wrapped with vinyl. One, it cleans up the look, two is is not conductive.

Will ride and adjust, then let the red locktitening begin tonight.

Going to cover most surfaces with black something. Paint/stain/grip tape.

Getting 7, 8in capable hubs from @Janux-esk8 later today. Even 6 shooters are punishing at BJ.

I decided to use green locktite as bearing lube. It was super effective.

I picked up some POM wheel pulleys for use with 7in (175 mm tires).

Do you think I asked for 44t wheel pulleys or 46t? What about 42?

Following DH guys after uphill practice.

That guy passing on the lacroix, solid chance he will win.

I bet he could do it on a stock nazare if stooge boards weren’t in the running.
