Thanks man! Using a drop though deck allowed me to make it look like a low rider, like a sports car with lowered suspension, wheels look bigger, ride is more stable and looks like a fat ass quarter miller

So I’ve been riding this board for 3 days now and I’m love already, the deck stuff but not as stiff as the Evo, it’s my most comfortable board to ride not only because of a subtle flex but the height of it, it’s very low but I can go over every speedbump in my area even the big ones.
What I like the most is the smooth acceleration and huge torque, it feels like flying, I wasn’t convinced with gear drives after trying 2 different brands, it just made my riding experience less enjoyable, now with belts all the fun came back in a rush.
The deck is not as controlable as the Subsonic Century because of the angled wedges but it’s pretty stable that I can go full speed without any single attempt to wobble, the surfrodz are the main part of the reason.
I really love the custom motor mounts they are really tough and the crossbars just made them indestructible, there is not way to misalign the motors at all, I can adjust the belt tension very easily with the idler adjuster.
Things to correct:
- Move the trucks further away to avoid front wheelbite at maximum steering
- Paint the motor mounts and crossbars with mate black electrostatic paint

So I think this is my new favorite build on the forum. Love my switchblade. I can imagine this is an incredible board to ride

Thanks man! I’ve tried so many different boards and this one feels like the perfect one, I know I’ve said this everytime I build a new board but maybe the build quality and parts list improve and final result is always better.
I thought it es going to be too long but I would change it for a smaller one now, the length is perfect

Mine is the 36. I’m pretty short tho so it works for me. I’m also on urethane (abec evolve 107) so it’s a bit different.

Yo should try pneumatics on that deck, it’s like you can go virtually anywhere, no need to restrict the paths you take anymore, on a side note pneumatics look killer if you use a drop through truck mounts

Since I’m running standard caliber trucks at the moment, pneumatics aren’t really an option 
This is how far I had to mount my Caliber trucks today to not get wheelbite. If they were wider, the wheels would hit the outter corners, instead of hiding in the inside ones. I really don’t know how you’re not getting wheelbite @eBoosted lol

If you look how I positioned the trucks I made new holes further away from the center and used a plate to lock the rear baseplate bolts, this allows reverse motor mounting and will move your wheels away from the deck corners.
The look is amazing afterwards and you could mount them drop through

I just saw how you wanted to move the caliber trucks and there is definitely no way to mount calibers on this deck, you need to use surfrodz 200mm RKP as I did on order to clear the wheels running with the corners.
This setup is definitely the best combination all around for both Performance and looks

Surfrodz look sick, I actually got 4wd @torqueboards drives on 110s for my switchblade with adjustable baseplates from @mikenyc I think it’ll be a sweet combo

Do you have close up photos of that?
I still can’t quite see how you secured the baseplates further back

It’s visible in the last picture he shared – just a small metal plate that screws into the old holes, and secures back of the baseplates.
