This was a pretty quick build, I wanted to get it completed in time to take on vacation. I saw @topcloud’s Mini AT build, showed it to my kid, and it was ON!
This all started on Thursday, built it today. In fact I had all the electronics laid out thursday night and configured, then discovered that dual FocBox’s wouldnt fit the enclosure and traded out a FlipSky dual from the Red SKull build to make it work.
My kids excited to take it on vacation and rip up some side streets and grass.
On a factual note, this is a perfect commuter board, light and fast and multi-terain.
ll do a build log later, likely when I get back from vacation. In the meantime, if you have questions, drop them on me.
Edit:. I ripped the side out of the enclosure on my Caldera build, I had a ton too much weight on it and then used to many screws…stupid move. I used the trucks, wheels and motors from that build. I’m gonna rebuild it differently using TB110s after I finish the Kaly 2.0 MTB build.
It does. It’s a great shape, a bit longer would be perfect for a lite weight commuter and still be stable, maybe 30in. I’m gonna look at some 9 ply blanks and see what I can do.
I get plenty of foot bite with this length. I’m going to ride it drop for a few days, if I cant get comfortable on it and it kids feels the same I’m going to top mount it and put freebord bindings on it.
Mate that thing is 2 years old. He did a good job but in his defence it was a cheap deck swap job but he did manage to break the baseplate completely in half length wise. Got speed wobbles down the steep one and bailed, landed on the grass verge, so minor damage but the board went into a tyre. The killer of all things esk8 Car tyres
