So it’s like a NESE alternative? Cool. I love that the cells are pressed together with the screws as well. Just one question, are those banana connectors reliable? I had banana connectors between motor and vesc and those came lose several times, so now I try to stand away from them.
they are supra connectors, they click in as well. i am confident they won’t come loose but this is the first build so I have to ride it for a while.If there are any issues i will design some sport of blocker for it that you click on top.

Yea just discovered their sprays, it’s the bomb! Super fine layers 
I also got holographic + shiny varnish which I intended to finish the board with… You know for a might shade of midnight purple (what would I call it then, afternoon purple?)
But the faded matte purple looks so damn attractive to the eye IRL I can’t cover it, it just keeps drawing my attention every time the deck is at sight range!

Yep that’s the plan!
BTW I’m on the lookout for RKP 155/160MM Caliber 2 if anyone got some spare in EU 
And I didn’t know Subsonic had a Vega model 
Vega is a French brand from Paris doing popsicle decks, pretty stiff and nice finish too (this one is a 8.125")

yeah, my man 
didnt know they are available this size. Thought they were just 180s, but live and learn.
You could also use channel trucks and mount them to the nose and the tail, so they got the angle they need to steer nice. Some trampas would be nice, though, but I dont think anyone have some spa<re at hand for you, but who knows?
hahaha, and I was so confused about the 8.125" size you mentioned in original post.
EDIT: I got 180s lying around but they are just chinese trucks and not calibers.
They are 2 different trucks. I could try to fit some spare mindless hangers.
I got 2 of them spare as well, only problem then is the motor mount. Thats the part that sucks, but you can have them for free my friend

Those look niiiiiice man! Is that on a century or Evo?
what tires are you running? Looks a bit like evolve?
the board on the website is the EVO but the battery packs enclosure is a Prototypo. The Prototypo build is still in progress.
Are those… truck nuts ?

Yeah dangling in the wind. Surprisingly visible actually I’m impressed
I like the concept very much ! How do you get your power leed there though ?

Eventually i hope the lid to pass through into the battery. in the short term i will probably add another few holes to one of the phase lead grommets.

Super sexy design man. You hit the nail on the head with where the escs ought to be when you have to cram more battery underneath. This looks really sleek. I like the use of the cable grip inserts too. Will be easy to swap escs and be able to change the cable guide and not the whole enclosure.

I love this design

Oh yes. It’s happening for sure
Hadent thought about this but your right, it would look sick AF on a big battery carver.
The main goal was to keep all the weight as Central as possible. This 4wd with a pair of lipos on top would make a rapid race board with great weight distribution.

Looking good. How do you like the deck? I’m feeling the need for more drop on my 'thane build.
Also, healing up?
