Itā€™s a killshot 40. Iā€™m using the deck as part of the plug for a fiberglass mold. The PETG sheet will get the contours and serve as a flange for the mold. Plus, I feel like gelcoat pops off flexible surfaces fairly easily (obviously with 5 coats release wax and 3 ultra fine mist-coats of PVA). Iā€™m gonna spray the gelcoat and see how that goesā€¦

For anyone curious:

Thatā€™s super shitty. I will never understand Singaporeā€™s war on PEV. From my brief time in SG I am shocked that they are not pushing PEV as a sustainable, cheap, traffic-light option to every single citizen. Their country is PERFECT for it, from my view.

I know they had issues with the modded eScooter crowd, but to close the door on such a perfect solution to the traffic caused by population density makes no sense to me.

Thatā€™s to control imports of PEVs, but I suspect that still leaves a massive loophole about importing parts of PEVs, and DIY? If a prebuilt esk8 comes without 2 front wheels, itā€™s not a PEV, just an expensive dollyā€¦ until the end user does the transformative changeā€¦

Of course, you probably donā€™t want to play dumb acts like that with the SG laws, but heyā€¦

I worked as a contractor to the LTA in a past life, word on the street was that there were a few incidents involving elderly people getting hit hard and killed by some ex-pats on scooters.

From experience, the locals respected the pedestrian walkways and maintained low speeds in crowded areas butā€¦ I was almost wiped out on two separate occasions just walking through Clarke Quay from a couple of dicks in business suits.

The real people that will suffer from this will be the low-income food delivery folks.

Yea, when you give murder deathsticks or scooters to people as young as 13~17 you know some shits gonna go down

And even people who are mature enough, still use them recklessly. Sigh

Dude. I havenā€™t offered you my wallet for this deck because the Flux is a bit too big for my taste.
I LOVE Gulf Livery. See my camera for proof haha :

But a Gulf Prototipo ? Oof. My poor wallet.
