Thank you
I would love to hear/see more about that pack construction, especially the cell frames system, if you’re willing to go into detail.
So much so, it looks like a render.
I agree, looks beautiful. I’m curious about the construction too - I made something similar a year ago, but not quite as refined, and only 10s
And the most annoying part was the series connection in the middle - what did you end up using for that?
Thanks so much guys!
@BenjaminF @ShutterShock I made a topic and a video explaining the construction and some other ideas I had for the pack.
OH FUCK YEAH
Someone is finally doing it
that’s using UV glue stuff… it skins over so fast and self levels, really hopeful it passes testing, I need to do along a whole test edge and test flex… the board wont have a lot so it hopefully wont need to be super flexible.
@alankerr Are those tires clever brand? Did you have any issues fitting them onto the rims? How balanced are they?
I’ve got a set of clever branded ones. Had to cut away quite a bit of material with a knife from the inner lip to make it fit to the 4" lip of my mbs rockstar ii pro xl-s. My ones measured at around 3.9" ID
I have the CST brand but those on picture look exactly like the ones I have. There was another brand I used that had the same issue with rim tightness. I don’t remember what brand. Rep said I had to leave them in the sun. Then I bought the CST. These fit snug, but not tight. I use Trampa hubs. I’m not privy to mbs hub sizing yet. As to balancing, it’s like a motor bike wheel, line up the rim of hub to line on turf tire as you slowly intermittently fill the tire. Fill it slowly as you mold the tire to the line. They balanced well.
Interesting! I guess my next set will be CST then. Hopefully I can get these seated reasonable well for some offroading though
Idk why, but despite that board looking really oldschool, it also looks like a very lightweight, fun, practical board for daily riding. Is it nice? Do you have a thread for it?
@alankerr told me a bit about them a while back and I hunted for the cheapest set I could find. 8X3.00X4 4PLY CHENG SHIN TURF TIRE & Tube (^H128) | eBay
The only downside is that they are very heavy. I decided to go with a lighter set of tires, but I am still interested in these hahaha
it’s all kinds of old school cool, i believe it’s old etoxx prototypes. glad @rich is back on a board, he inspired me to bend my first mtb axle and it’s been a mess of murder and carnage of parts since
The original build is from 2017 with narrow trucks and belt drive … 2 weeks ago it looked like this
there is a build thread on the old forum. It was my daily commuter until I had to stop riding in 2021.
So actually the new version with wider trucks and gear drive feels very newschool to me
I like mountainboards much more but for commuting in the city it makes more sense to have a smaller board without bindings. The flat and flexy deck is no more my favorite but for cruising it’s ok.
Thanks bro, what an honor ! Bending axles is no fun, but reckless driving is
No prototypes, they are V3

anything for the photo
Those wall mounts are sick, where’d you get the file or did you design them?
They look like generative design shelf brackets sorta simar to one a YouTuber did a long time ago. Pretty neat
Printables. Let me get link
Nope, cults or thingijerk.
I
It was free. I’ll send file when I get home.
Doing desert dog stuff atm.
They are “organic”, bc California.
