Looking for a custom enclosure for a Mercer lone wolf deck running a 10s5p 18650 pack. DM for dimensions or anything else you might need to now if you’re someone that can put something together.

Most high-profile enclosure makers don’t really do customs for decks that aren’t in the main stream, although you could still probably find someone smaller who’s willing to help you.
Have you looked for some enclosures that are not specifically tailored to your board? Idk what the current status on Dave is, but I know he used to sell enclosures that were sort of a “one size fits all” kind of deal… Doesn’t @BigBen (uk based, unfortunately for you) do this as well?
If you need more than just an enclosure it could be worth buying something from Ben and having it all thrown in the same box could help with shipping costs… 
Unfortunately those are the only people I can think of… Or maybe @yelnats8j? Didn’t you make your own enclosure?
e: Doesn’t @longhairedboy have some older premade enclosures laying around? Not sure if they fit your board or not though

I’m pretty sure as esk8 overlord you are granted some level of exception from the norm

I may be willing to let my gen 2 enclosures (eboosted ones are gen3) go for cheap. They may not fit perfectly but its nothing some silicone and bolts can’t handle.

Making a decent enclosure is really a lot of work. Hence why one offs aren’t common.
@glyphiks is a skateboard hoarder, he may have one of these and definitely has the skillz.
But the motivation / inspiration maybe not - he is a busy dude and it’s a lot of work so would be very expensive for one enclosure only. Probably not worth it…
I vote that you learn and do it yourself 
Edit - or buy from LHB👌

It can be done with a trip to wal-mart and leftovers laying around the house. It just takes a lot of patience and elbow grease. But it can be done with blue tape, a block of wood or stiff foam, a good belt or orbital sander, bondo fabric and glass resin from literally anywhere (walmart, auto-zone, a boat repair store), and some parafin wax like you might find in your girl’s candle stash. Get ready to hate the smells and do a looooot of sanding and resin reapplication. A week later you’ll have a solid enclosure and a lot of pride.

on the right is an og LHB Scarlet deck with a gen1 enclosure (circa 2015). 100% walmart bondo fabric and resin.

Yup about 168 hours is a good estimate

Bioboards took some notes, huh?
I always found their enclosure shape interesting… Was it built like that for structural purposes or does the shape of the internals actually match the enclosure? Or maybe its just easier to make that way…
Maybe their 4wd options make use of all the space

i would never have said anything but really, who hasn’t.
on BB’s most definitely. In mine, it was all about cell density and maximizing space while leaving clearance for inboad 6355 motors. so… yes… on both. Truthfully there’s really only one shape that maximizes capacity on zero flex inboard builds without wheel or motor bite and this is it.

@longhairedboy those gen2 enclosures look like they would work but i’m not positive. Do you have any exact info on the dimensions?
Def don’t have one of them. DIY definitely the way forward for something like this.

Awesome list! Add a respirator to it, FG and epoxy fumes don’t mess around.

I’ve been working on something for @DEEIF could be scaled up in theory to what ever size you want.

Ok before we go any further how big is ur 10s5p? And what configuration is it in because the deck is only 8.5" wide and looks to narrow down to about 8" below where the trucks mount.
