I’ve been building esk8 enclosures since 2018, and over the years I’ve developed quite a few for different decks, using flexible, segmented, double stack, single stack, enclosures for huge or tiny decks, custom options, etc. Many of them are for decks that you can’t even get anymore because they’ve been discontinued, or the designs have changed over the years and the old enclosures no longer fit the newer versions.
I’ve always found it interesting that there are quite a few nice decks out there that either have no enclosure available, or some very popular decks that only have plastic, brittle enclosures that fall apart on the first curb hit.
So I’m curious, if you could pick any deck to have a really good enclosure made for it, what would it be?
I’d be really interested to hear what you guys think and see what the community actually needs.
His existing Jet Spud enclosure works well with the Omakase, but I really like the idea of some top mount battery and esc enclosures. A little more universal and sorely lacking option with a lot of other DIY vendors shutting down the last few years.
I would build it modularly, with individual blocks, in double and triple heights. That way, everyone can assemble it as they need. It’s also compatible with flex boards.
I would love to see some more top mount ESC enclosures for mountain boards. To my knowledge, Idea makes the best one right now. I’d like to see another style that uses four of the lid bolts to secure the enclosure to its baseplate, like what 3d Servisas used to make. That way you don’t have to open the lid to pull the case to the side to change trucks or something..
If you like the 3D-printed walls, you can take any VESC cooling plate, send the dimensions to ChatGPT, and have it generate an STL file for you. You can also make further adjustments with its help.
I have an extra deck that doesn’t have an enclosure
