Very nice build, man

[GJF1]

Where did you get the lights? do you have a link?

@GJF1
It’s el paper/tape if you’re talking about the underglow

[Tsobo]

Lol, yeah the Vicious clear grip wasn’t as ‘clear’ as I’d hoped. I do like the contrast though, and hex patches are ubiquitous, so could go to black in the future, but ‘white’ has grown on me

@b264?

[Fosterqc]

not looking so hot

[Saturn_Corp]

Ah, one of my older ones. Tried to get the connector off by reflowing to no success. It’s stuck good. Cut it off but it was solid. Today they look better

[b264]

I’m more worried about the cold solder junction than the massive burn hole

[Saturn_Corp]

Yah I kinda mangled it. Sure was stuck good but always room for improvement.

Whaddya think of these Brian? These are my current “standard” (honestly hard to get a good pic)

Nowadays I can flow it into the connector and it saturates.

[b264]

Much much better

@kook

w0w this went pear-shaped

I was going to ask… man that’s some crazy risers… I’m in the process of going almost the same route… 12s4p P42As on a 4x4 direct-drive board but fack… not if’n I haveta put 35mm of risers on her…

I haven’t even looked at the trucks seriously but It did cross my mind…

[nomadic_myke]

I tried it with 1" risers but I was still scraping coming on and off of rounded sidewalks. Tightened down, the extra thick gasket eliminated another 1/4" to 1/3" of ground clearance. You can use adjustable base plates to get rid of the need for some of the riser. If you are going to run 110s on the Century 40 you want to use the thin gasket that comes with the enclosure.

[kook]

I wanna run this bitch 15mm off the deck… 12s4p 4wd I have a 35 deg. baseplate for the rear…I’ve contemplated cutting out the nosed and making the front drop thru… adj. baseplates are so 2018…

[kook]

but thanks… if I have to put so much riser on… I’ll do soething else… thanks ffor your input brother

[nomadic_myke]

I am positive that I will be able to reduce the riser size as my DIY skills progress. After pushing around analog on the 110s and the Century I really appreciate that super low to the ground feeling.

[kook]

fucking low to the ground boards, they just instill confidence… I love how low slung boards feel… I’ll be watching your science brother

[DEEIF]

I want to ride a 1.5” drop board on pnuematics Even Loooower to the ground

[kook]

An inch of ride height gets you pretty low…

Not that’d I’d have any idea of belly slapping low…
