Dat wheelbase tho xD
I would flip the baseplates on that setup

That would probably give me some much needed clearance too lmao.

Are you using the inner deck holes or the outer holes? I swapped to the inner ones to squeeze a bit more clearanceā€¦

Ah the flux deck only comes with one set of holes. I could probably drill out a second set but I would also run into problems with my davega and antisink plate not sitting flat because of the curve to the standing area of the deck.

Ah yeah, duh. That wheelbase is crazy wide!

Unrelated but these are hella bright, definitely going with them when the adaptors get finished up.

Yeah dude, itā€™s crazy, I love them. I donā€™t even really need to bring a flashlight on my rides anymore.

Also got the brake lights setup the other day, so cool. Love the mounts being integrated into the BN drives.

Highly recommend!

I have boardnamics drives as well, may need to pick up a set. Do those also hook up internally or do they have dedicated batteries inside the lights?

These are battery powered. Better that way for brakes imo. I think his stock for them is like a month out though unfortunately.

What are they exactly?

Yep - slow boat shipment lol itā€™s gonna be a bit.

Your setup is looking real good tho, I havenā€™t had the tail lights on my board since I switched to newbee drives (mounting them to those is another task on the long list)

Iā€™m calling them ā€œC8 Tail Lightsā€ they will be available when the shipment comes. Not sharing my website around yet as Iā€™m still finalizing some things but weā€™re getting close. Iā€™ll be making an official Vendor Corner post when Iā€™m ready.

While Iā€™m still working on ways to mount to Jump Drives, the Newbee 4gs, etc, they do come with an elastic strap that can be used on certain setups. Iā€™m also thinking about options for mounting to my esc enclosure, or on top of a rear truck baseplate

:thinking: Considering using protected cells in a board?

Thatā€™s just a battery that came with my flashlight, and I couldnā€™t believe how big it is for 21700.

I think it has a protection circuit board under the top and/or bottom contacts, extending the length of the cell. Most lights use protected cells these days.

Yes, and I guess length isnā€™t such a big deal with flashlights but this could ruin your day in many other scenarios.

I like your version a lot more. Remind me did you make it to take larger bearings I forget.

1 Like

I did. The wheel can take both 22mm and 28mm bearings. I am going to test this version for a while then I will have a good idea when the wheel can be released. I am aiming for a retail price of around $350.
