Urban-suburban-rural cruiser, you pick. Iā€™ve been riding on 6" pneumies for over two year with a bottom mounted 3D printed enclosure with no problems. I know what makes me happy, and a road carver or dirt trail cruiser suites me just fine, and that doesnā€™t require anything to be mounted to the top of the board and ruin the sleek look.

Is there a mirrored option for goofy riders?

no one version, there is full grip to the edges so should not be an issue :slight_smile:

Thatā€™s a genius strategyā€¦ Iā€™ll take it in account for my next build.

I mean top mounts arenā€™t the prettiest but I prefer having my battery safe, and to be honest, i kinda dig the badass look of it

They do that with clothes and shoes anyway :rofl:

Sounds good to me :rofl:

Top mount boxes can look really nice, and are way better thermally if the vesc can have the heatsink outside

2 wheel ā€œCastor boardsā€ existed long before speedboard.

Donā€™t know why they are not more popular, it would be good to see a few more DIY builds of these.

make a hole, tap the sucker, screw in and some heat

oh way itā€™s a screw shaft itself right ? F

or make a somewhat square hole so you can put a 3/8th driver (ratchet, breaker bar) in it

Iā€™m tempted to weld to it and get it out that way

1 Like

TBH I almost mentioned that option but didnā€™t know if you had a welder

just gonna have to make sure you donā€™t weld it to the truck :rofl:

Iā€™ve got a mig welder and a stick welder, my instincts tell me that the mig is the way to go for this oneā€¦ thoughts @taz?

It will be interesting to say the least.

In the mean time, i have a set of BN220s with sk3s and venom magnums on them which are itching to be tried outā€¦

DOable to say the least

both mig and stick works I guess

Edit: add a washer and tack it in place before the nut so you donā€™t solder where you donā€™t want to solder
