Subsonic Skateboards since '99 - Custom Decks for DIY Builds

[eBoosted]

@Bradley

We’re currently doing a refresh on this model

Ohhh please don’t make that, I’ll have to make a third version of the enclosure

BTW if you want input:

1. Make channel wires on the deck like LHB does it.
2. Move your mounting holes as outwards as possible to allow pneumatics, more room for the motors inwards and easier to be mounted outwards
3. Make a decks that has a deep cutout underneath, but somehow keeping the rigidity and strength of the deck, the thibkness should be wide enough to fit at least 8 21700 cells in parallel

Should be compatible with the same enclosure. Graphics/Color/Construction update. Mold is perfect!

[Ace]

Can you make decks out of cool/unusual wood?

[Bradley]

@Ace Technically, yes we can do whatever we want We’ve experimented with different woods, formica and of course different types of fiberglass, carbon and other composites.

In reality, we have a commercial lease, lost of expensive equipment and liabilities and payroll to make. We really have to focus on our core product most of the time to make this business work. More money, more problems basically.

@eBoosted

I’ll show you how the gt40 looks this weekend

Stock Subsonic GT40:

Painted with transparent caramel bermellon red car paint

[hans_maier]

@Bradley

yes we can do whatever we want

I like that! @eBoosted Any enclosures for the Century 36 and/or Ruse, please?

[physicsman99]

As I am very amateur at painting, is there anything special for the prep work for that paint job? How many coats were needed? Thats a beautiful color and finish!

[eBoosted]

Well I headed to the paint shop and told them I needed a transparent red paint, they told me what I was looking for is called caramel paint somekind of transparent lightly tinted urethane paint, they sold me kit which consisten in Thinner, catalyzer, paint and mate lacquer.

@eBoosted

Hang tight guys, I’m working on a SS enclosure for the GT40, it’s going to be my next board

[Adstars]

Thanks @BillGordon, will check them out

[murdomeek]

is that the mould? :o

[eBoosted]

That’s the prototype, the mold is done after the prototype is complete. I had some issues also I have to redo the prototype

[murdomeek]

right, that would make sense

[eBoosted]

The prototype is ready

eBoosted enclosures updates

Hello guys: I’m glad to announce the latest enclosure addition to the collection, the Subsonic GT40. This enclosure is similar in design than the Subsonic Century 40" but it’s longer and has a different concave and features a less pronounced drop. The EBP logo was also added in low profile on the rear of the enclosure.

@eBoosted @Bradley this board is ridiculous niceee thanks a lot again. Also
As mentioned pictures don’t do it justice The drop is stupendous.

[Tamatoa]

When mounted on trucks, is the area where you stand inclined? It looks like one end is higher than the other one.

[ahrav]

Believe the back angle is -10 degree and the front one is +10 degree. So depends on the baseplate angle you use. If you use the same angle baseplate for front and back. There will be a 20 degree difference. So yea a small littttttle angle (or big idk…). If i am correct this is to keep the board stable at high speeds but also give you maneuverability. My switchblade which has no asymmetry I made the back angle 35 degrees and left the front at 50 and it’s pretty sweet soo I think it does help with stability/ maneuvering at higher speeds. (My opinion the experts plz feel free to let us know what’s what. )

[deucesdown]

So 40deg baseplates ftw? 50 front 30 rear?

[ahrav]

Prettty much I don’t have 40 so I went with 42 rear 50 front. But almost hahah…
