@tomiboi any chance of making the deathtoll deck a little longer in the rear to accommodate under-mounting the motors on 3links?



the spacing is good in the first pic but the second pic, it’s about .5-1in too close for me to get adequate ground clearance when street riding. it may be an issue that only i’m having because of the gasket i’m using but figured i’d bring it up anyways.

Is your deck from before or after the length change? How long is that one?

The short version of those mounts would have been fine. I had the ones in your pics, I just chopped them down.

i’m pretty sure this was right around when you were about to start making them longer. i think i recall you saying that you’d increase the length a little work better on the 3links.


Does it say the length on the side?

i think it might actually say 43 on there but when i measured it, it was closer to 45. do you measure from tip to tip or the deck holes?

Tip to tip.

just measured it, it’s 43.5 so the new deck should be good

For the first deck that I’m going to make with my new press, I’m going to do V2 of a deck that I already prototyped with my vacuum press. It’s a big, fat kicktail, but it will still have a smallish mold. This will make the mold cheaper and faster to make, which is perfect because I will probably botch the first attempt.



The deck is about 38" long and 11.25" wide. For V2 I’m increasing the angle of the of the kicktail by 15 degrees, which is pretty significant. The idea is to give better support during acceleration. This deck could be ridden as is, but it could also be used with brackets.

The first enclosure that I’m going to make for it is going to be a single stack. I’ll push it out to the edges and really try to take advantage of the width of the deck. I’d like to make sure that there is room to mount motors under the deck, so I’m going to keep that in mind as I figure the length of the enclosure

I have the mold designed. I’m hoping to get it on CNC this week. I’m excited to use the press and get a prototype made :turtle:

Would a 2.5"-2.75" drop deck be doable? I was thinking something like the Odashi with bigger drop.

Yes, that can be done. A mold would have to be made for it, but it can be done.

I’m also happy to drop-cut the Odashi. That’ll get you 1/2” closer to the ground.

I’ll definitely consider it. Would the same standing platform to truck mounting point be possible with such a big drop?

Not the biggest fan of drop through but nice to have that option.

I should be able to keep the dimensions the same, or at least similar.
