@abusfullofnuns I’m aware of what a security screws are, I’m just not convinced it would significantly decrease the odds of the thing being jacked. I think you’re right in saying he’s not trying to go all out on security, so maybe I’m just missing the point. I was just thinking that if someone was actually determined to steal that thing, I doubt that screw would make an ounce of difference.

I tend to agree. It’s kind of cool, but it’s much easier to just cut the cord on that lock instead of messing with the screw.

yea, i mean there’s a lot of options really, you could just take off the back trucks, hacksaw that crossbar thing, or like you said, disarm the lock somehow.

I guess if it provides piece of mind, that’s all that’s important though.

Guys, this argument is redundant. I’m sure Phil just locks it up like this while he ducks into the pub for a sneaky few.

Chances of some random thief cruising around eith boltcutters/grinder/security torx bits in the short timeframes this board would be left outside are slim.

Confirmed, I carry a lock pick but no Torx security bits.

Now I know what needs to happen…

Thats sick, beautifull work! How big will the battery box become?

I’m sure if you had a cool greens superintendent they would let you it is electric and lighter than a golf cart

There’s never really an “anti-theft” for anything, it’s basically all just theft deterrent. In the mighty words of the Lock Picking Lawyer, anyone who is determined enough will find a way through. Thieves are mainly opportunists, not bank robbers, inconvenience is a wonderful deterrent . Just my two cents (still don’t trust anyone enough to leave my board unattended though…)

Edit: I understand your point about the screw and agree partially but it’s a simple mod 🤷

Depends which battery I have fitted on any given day.

This is frame twenty-two requesting air strike engagement, target has been located. I repeat, target has been located.

Its just a deterrent to an opportunist.

Nice build
Are you worried about those motors they look pretty low

frame · June 18, 2021, 2:42am

i would imagine one up the angle will hit the baseplate?

Nacho · June 18, 2021, 2:44am

He has bn adjustables maybe change the degree

russoa20 · June 18, 2021, 2:44am

Thanks man!

Yeahhhh I kind of am.
@frame I am going to look into raising them one notch.
As of now though, raising them hits the really long riptide bolts. I am going to cut them down and see if the motors will still hit.
I can always raise the degree of the baseplate, which I might do. However @RipTideSports advised that 50 in the front and 30 in the rear would be optimal.

The 50* in the front actually gets a tad bit of wheel bite, so I might end up either sanding the deck or dropping that to 40*
