Mobile electric generator.
8.25 kWh worth of 30q cells all going in an enclosure with an inverter.
It’ll also eventually have solar panels to charge it.
Uses are esk8 events, picnics, outdoor parties, and my Chicago to LA on an esk8 which I’ll probably do in the next 10 years

It’ll be back. my 3d printed wings took a lot of the impact. I’m replacing baseplate and hangers because I don’t trust em anymore, no cracks on the carbon and everything still runs

@BluPenguin for how bad that damaged the trucks I would be worried able the carbon fiber being compromised. You might be able to use some methods they use to check over mountain bike frames. There could be internal stress cracks or fractures you can’t see on the surface.

Yup for sure. On the gt decks they’re a clamshell type layout. I loaded the decked and looked for any signs of splitting along the seams and the inside edges. Looks okay to me so far

imo every truck on the planet is just much to weak for eskate needs.
I told that a few times and i will preach until the very end: The forces on the trucks in eskates are much,much bigger than on standard long-or skateboard trucks. Surely depends always on the situation how the force is applied, but i think its a problem these days in general.
When im looking at all these monster boards out there(no example here bc dont want to make bad some brands) im always asking myself why the vendors just stuck at 8mm or 10mm axles? Why dont they produce 20mm axles?
Just because of cheap bearings which have to fit a tiny amount of wheels which only can be used anyways in eskate?

you and me both man. I always considered 10mm axle minimum at the lengths we run. 20mm might be too much, but I think 12-15mm hollow steel axles would be absolutely ideal… who knows. One day.
