Now that summer end, the MadSurfer will patiently wait until next year. I need a little AT during the rebuild of the new Darth Vapor …
Something like the Burgunboards I was riding last winter :
That could also be my spare board, or for my love, or friends, or between two rebuilds.
I will reuse everything that takes dust around me
(I wasn’t that much inspired it’s why I choose the rubbish name due to the rough building, not the parts used ^^ )
I was needed a wider deck, with more space to accommodate my stance and start thinking about an old one laying around.
- It’s an old Madrid asymmetrical DH deck, 9 plies, little dropped, W concave.
- And I have customized a bit the shape, Break the block appearance by lightening the center of the deck, also make it symmetrical now. And I send it all. I think I will let the natural wood like the finishing.
(the deck is shorter (compare to the Axis), and maybe it is still a bit shorter for my stance, but I should be able to put my feet a bit rejected, as the shape gave me more place to use finally… I hope to be understandable ^^)
- I have to go with extended mounting plates because I don’t want to cut the shape and it will be where the “dropped wave” is located (the space that I will use as gas-pedal/ foot stop), and I want to let it full size now I can enjoy a wider deck! ^^
For now I will reuse the HaggyDrive (2 in 1) of the HagXis :
So it will be a belt drive for now, with 15 x 60 T, 190kV on 145mm AT wheels
I will start with a split 50/40° setup (the purple base plate on other photos is the PNL 40°, here the raw one is a 23°) :
I plan to use my Dual ESCape and I came out the enclosure I have earlier this year for this deck :
I have tried to add some little details :
“Segmentation” in 3 parts, disbursed space for VESC heatsink, a recessed place for switch key … etc.
I put it roughly under the vacuum … And seeing the last eboosted mastering build (the red longboarghini ) I add some printed part, just like I did yrs ago
2 big fiberglass layer, 1 small and 1 of basalt, all quickly roughly made…
not the best, but after a little finishing glaze is should be good
I start to crop the outline of the enclosure, glazing, and I send all I can (now, it looks dirty, but once painted it should be fine ^^)
Ok so, this is where I have stopped before summer and the road-trip.
Now :
I have just painted the enclosure
Make some holes for wires, switch key and put ESCapes in da place :
Extended mounting plates prototypes and put inserts in place on the deck etc. (yes I change the Haggy Berg. rims, the green will go on another board )
DAVEga X addons (little riser and sunshade) :
I should receive soon the magnets to make the DAVEga shield removable quickly - thanks @janpom for the great modular idea!
And a new HaggyDrive pulley cover / motor-mount bumper / motor fender and mudguard for Bergmeister wheels & Kahua trucks.
