I stickerbombed it and sent it off to @sender to get epoxy and frit. We’ll see how long it holds up. Epoxy kinda needs to soak into the wood of the deck and stickers don’t really help that… But it looks sick atm so let’s build.
Tossed the red and black surfrodz tkp trucks with @psychotiller mounts. Its getting 6355 or 6369 maytech motors on THE FRONT on a riptide tunnel riser and an adjustable baseplate in the rear. Turns out fixed baseplate + tunnel riser and adjustable baseplate no riser is almost the exact same height! Ment to be lol
I guess this is as good a time as any to explain why I wanted to do a front wheel drive build.
Well when it comes to shorter kicktail decks your enclosure space is very limited as it is. Mounting your Motors underneath the kicktail kind of defeats the purpose of a kicktail and mounting them forward on the rear truck takes up valuable space.
You might be able to use a thick gasket to raise the enclosure to make enough space for 21700 cells; then you wouldn’t need as many for your desired power / capacity.
What battery are you planning ? 11S6P ?
the enclosure you show is kinda chonky, like big and kinda awkward… Like it doesn’t really fit with such cool board, and trucks
Like having a cool sport car with a Fiat Multipla hood : it does the job but it looks odd
Yeah… but unfortunately nobody makes enclosures that meet my needs. Not much options for short decks in general. This enclosure won’t even work. Shooting for 12s5p.
I have a 12s2p i might just toss on here.
Then there is a 37 inch version of this deck that i can get 60 cells on easier.
Lol i wish. He’s a busy guy tho. And im stupid broke. Building with what i got on hand or can trade things for. Ill probably end up having to make my enclosure or do less cells
Dude, just use the 12s2p. Enjoy how light and breezy it is to commute with. You likely won’t be ripping ass with such a short deck. You’d be amazed how long that battery would last. Put a psycho coupe on er and call it fin. I love the sticker job and frit. Also cool idea to do fwd. Nice build so far my dude.
I currently commute on a short deck (push non esk8)
Ive always preferred shorter decks. Even most my longboards have typically been on the short side (36 or under)
I’ve got 30inch deck im working on too that the 12s2p was supposed to go on.
I’m putting the 12s2p on here. Looks like i worked out a trade with my landyachtz osteon for the 37inche version of this 33.
So im gonna try and fit the 50-60 cells on it.
This will get the 6355 sealed maytechs (unless someone wants to trade for unsealed 6355s lol )ill use the 6369 on the bigger board.
(not from experience at all
