I donā€™t like flashy stuff I spent years as the only white kid trying to blend and failing 6ā€™2ā€at 14 ears like open car doors , my face makes. Good punching bag

But I like this, itā€™s awesome

Iā€™m sorry. I think you should go ahead, add the concave and reskin. I know that redoing stuff sucks but since youā€™ve already put so much effort into it, it would be a shame to end up with something you donā€™t love. The concave does make a big difference. Even the simple gripped 3D-printed pads that I use go a long way. And Iā€™m sure you can do much better than that.

ive been loving it even without the concave, which is weird cuz its way too big for me. but mines not skinned or anything yet, either. i just wish it was at least 6 or 7 inches shorter so i didnt look so silly on it xD
@glyphiks i feel like a skin might actually take away from the slight concave it does have, but youd know better than i.

Damn @xsynatic your memory be godlike.

@Ricco what modifications did you do to make them fit? Do you have to cut the bolts?
And do you install them with a deflated tire?

This is awesome. Iā€™m trying to do something similar for my board with the text being a part of the design.

Donā€™t be sorry! Itā€™s not my cup of tea, but iā€™m sure there are flat deck lovers out there!

Iā€™ve decided to sell it, definitely need the money right now, and hopefully it goes to somebody who will love it very much.

Damn, with my build if I went single stack I think I could fit 16-20 cells max, that is accounting for forward mounting the motors though.

Yeah forward mounting the motor takes up valuable space, and itā€™s hidden undere the kicktail anyway. I couldā€™ve gone double stack if i wanted, but it like the slim look. I donā€™t have a BMS at this point though, just a balacing board, I was running out of space. Enclosure V2 is already in the works though, with space for a BMS.

you see the final cut?


i wasted a lot of material figuring out how to make it happen xD

Saw it; donā€™t know wtf Iā€™m looking at yet

a potato of course.

Thatā€™s not methā€¦

Word. Itā€™s a fucking beautiful deck in so many ways. If my stupid rear calf didnā€™t require a deep drop and aggressive concave to not freak out, I would have been all over this thing. Perfect length as well.

I would turn those wires around the other way

Theyā€™re going to Linny to complete my TB40. Needless to say, theyā€™ll be set up properly.

We need more pictures of the board, it looks really really nice with those new trucks :heart_eyes:

For the chains on the front tire I uniformly shortened the length down to 12 links and the width to 5 links.

For the chains on the back tires I had to make the mods non symmetrical due to the gear drives. Those have 20 links on the drive side and 12 links on the outside. The width was uniformly shortened to 3 links.

I consolidated all of the crosslinks of the original chains into the modded ones so they have 12 crosslinks each.

To take links out I had to cut them with a rotory tool. To move the crosslinks around I used some pliers to spread the hooked ends open and pinch them shut when I got them in place.

I do install them on deflated tires. Once they are inflated the chains are held really tightly in place. The one issue im having is that one link gets stuck between the drive and tire sometimes. I think a 3D printed guard will solve that though.

Is the wheelbase under 16"?

Does it have a single stack?
