Sooooo this was electric
Then the wire running inside of the deck started disintegrating
So now it’s a pushboard.

Nope, the wire heatshrink is just disintegrating and I don’t know why. Can’t remove the frit (for obvious reasons) so I can’t fix it. This beautiful thing will live on without motors.

I had electrified it, and then went back to analog because it was too good of a board to sacrifice like that lol
It is super fun to ride cuz of the TKPs. Can carve all day!

I was really surprised riding some of Landyachtz hawgs wheels, they seem super solid for sliding, pushing around, etc. I ride the Ez hawgs but they’re probably too small for your dropcat, maybe check out the 70mm boss hawgs or zombie hawgs.
Remember Lil hoot and 70mm hoot are great beginner slide wheels, they’re a little icy but great for learning. Seems to be sold out everywhere, muirskate took them out of their shop too.
I’ve heard S9 butterballs are good.
Anything with a 30-40mm contact patch, centerset, rounded lip, and stoneground finish will do. Probably go for 78a ish.
I really enjoy slide wheels for pushing too, they feel super fast and are so much fun to carve with.

Would also recommend Powell Peralta Snakes if you can find them in stock. They slide really well even at low speeds, yet are super durable and don’t flatspot easily unlike Butterballs. Only downside I’ve found is they like to chunk if you accidentally slam against a curb or something. Nothing superglue can’t fix.

Why not just route the bottom out for the wires? Can cover it with FG or CF.
the way I ride, i’d bottom it out a lot. I need top box or integrated wires,
Yeah so remove some material from the bottom to house the wires, and then cover it with a composite material or some rigid plastic?
Do you have a Bustin Sportster yet?

I have an older one on my wall, Jake made a hub drive board with it with some hummies years ago. I really liked the feel of it. I think it had a space cell on it.
