Did someone say four screw, easily swappable, relatively waterproof esk8 enclosure? Did I make the mellow belt drive? Maybe?
Just need to add a charge port and probably a % readout

So much awesome.
Maybe put a motor mount on the other side (without a motor) just in case you need to use the tail

Build is great (planning a fat Peralta build soon) but hollee sheet I’m seeing too many people with these torqueboard ass Velcro straps lmao. It’s DIY forum. Buy some nylon webbing (milspec goat), some Velcro, triglides/parachute buckles and the steal ur mum’s sewing musheen and make yer own straps

I really tried to make it work with the mount inside, but they’re too long and hit the box. I did manage to mount it pretty close to the angle of the tail so I’ve been able to use the kick tail without issue yet. I’m gunna try it like this for a bit, but I was debating making the wheel base longer

When I have them laying around from a kit I’m gonna use them. But thanks man I think I’ll like this one a lot.
I’d just reinforce the mount and put same one on other side so you could grind on them if you needed to 
2023 edit: I did this on Chortl

Yes i have one too I should do it. If I get a 6374 or something like that I could probably make it dual rear single motor.

Added the charge port and took her out for her maiden voyage. I def need to get used to short boards and I am for sure keeping this board under powered and slow haha.

Yeah so my rinky dink screws holding the Velcro straps wasn’t robust enough so I needed a more reliable battery holding method. Had these cleat things from an diy enclosure and reused them. Add padding everywhere and voila rumble ready battery.
Threw some 90mm’s on there for thee torques
Rides great still, just a lil more sketchy, I’ll prob try 107’s on it next week

Two updates, bigger motor & bigger wheels.
The motor is a NOS 190kv 6375 “dark matter” @Scepterr motor I got off the marketplace. Kinda a cool pick up for me. I wanted a set of these for my first DIY but he had sold out when I reached out back then. Wheels are from my first DIY, some 107 evolve abecs had a 44T BKB gear in storage as well.
Needless to say it has mo torques

Thanks! I’m still trying to get used to it, I ate shit on it twice already 
Not used to my feet being over the trucks yet.
She’s growing on me like you said she would, that’s why I’ve been experimenting with all the wheel options. I didn’t get any good pics but I’m trying to make it waterproof as well, thats what all the new electric tape and foam on the bottom is for.
I didn’t like my first one that much until I started getting more time on them all, now these kinds of builds are by far my favorite. If I’m going a really long way I’ll grab a longboard with a bigger battery but otherwise something like this is always what I grab on the way out
