Planning my next build. Making this here so I don’t forget anything. If you happen to have something in my list you’d sell for cheap, let me know. Suggestions will be considered, I’m not used to making things that aren’t made for speed

Battery - 4x TURNIGY 6S 5ah. Configured into 12s2p (have)
Enclosures -Pelican IM2050 for batteries and R20 for esc (have)
Trucks -ATS12 raw with idea 4.5 mounts (have)

Don’t do that, even if you already have them.
Second time I need to tag @Venom121212 today he can tell you a painful story about those trucks.

Fosterqc · July 16, 2020, 2:33pm

Seconded this, I have a set of this style trucks that I have to “sit on” because of what I learned about them.

Might use them for some sub 20mph 3SK8’s but even that sounds sketchyyy

Venom121212 · July 16, 2020, 2:40pm

Can not recommend sadly. They ride nicely like a hybrid skate mtb truck. Stable at speed until they snapped

@Andy87 @Fosterqc @Venom121212
The ats12 are not the best. But I will make the best of em. They were part of my secret santa gift and I want to make honor to that gift

Your glass is leaking

As far as remotes go. I prefer the trigger when offroading, thumb when roading. Seems easier to hold a level with the trigger when going over bumps. Less slippage

It’s a garbage found table I was having fun stripping the latex paint off of

Good to know. Might still buy the hoyt for the hell of it. I can always just buy a second gt2b receiver and use the one I ordered for both boards?

Actually, scratch that. If I go gt2b on both I’ll just buy a second gt2b. Got 2 marvelous cases coming from winnipeg

Had them slightly modified to try and add a component that wasn’t included in the original design

Agressivstreetlamp · July 16, 2020, 3:05pm

Nice. Yeah just my two cents
Also when deciding on battery. Go 2x whatever your plans where. It’s gonna eat up watthours much quicker than you’re used to. When I ride my 9" Roadies on road I get maybe 40wh/mile on a cruise ride. Off road it’s way worse.

Unless you’re planning on jumping

Here’s where I intend to use it

Davewesh · July 16, 2020, 3:18pm

hawt…

I have considered trying to find an acre of un-farmable (cheaper) land in my area to turn into a dirt track. Gotta convince the Wife first.

Flasher · July 16, 2020, 3:22pm

@Davewesh good luck the place I showed is a motocross track that allows boarders to use it when there isn’t an event happening. They only require you to be padded and sign a waiver stating “I break my neck, you’re not responsible beyond calling an ambulance”
