I wouldn’t want anything in the riser, just the channels, up to 12awg*3 and sensor wire on each side. Maybe also channel coming out the front for lighting wires Add your own desired bits to empty riser

Welcome Brad, happy to see your offering. Are you able to make multi layers objects ? With variable Duro.
Edit : Nevermind I think I got a way. I’ll PM you

nah
a riser pad with cable routing makes uber sense. by bringing the motor wires closer to the trucks pivot point it reduces degridation on the motor wires. It is also clean aesthetically & practically if you use big wheels you almost always have to use a riser with a regular skate deck. make it generic, offer a couple of duros, one for maple one for CF… you have the market covered and could become the preferred choice…
but… If someone made Moe some thane bushings his three link trucks would be the fastest eSk8 trucks/board on the planet… on cracked dirt the dude did 57mph on rubber bushings. The best the competition can do is 59mph on a airfield. And it wasn’t like he needed the run up he never topped out… I’m not making excuses but pointing out fact, he did that with flat batteries, with out any help one or two more runs Moe has it in the bag, he has so much power to spare… but dialed in thane bushings would add to what he is doing.

This might be a very good application for us to make a one piece channeled riser, I like the idea and at first blush it seems doable with our existing processes. I can sketch a 3d model to see if I have the correct requirements.

Oh hey builders, Riptide makes some rad footstops too that the downhill world really loves. I was weary of them thinking I was going to trip over it when stepping off or it was going to get in the way but honestly, it’s perfect. Like a nice comprise between a full set of big foot straps and a naked deck. You can position it right where your most comfortable stance is and never look down again to find it. I can slide my foot up to it and I know right where I am on my giant 42 inch deck…in the same spirit I went out and bought a rear-view mirror for my helmet so now I don’t have to look down, or backwards…lol And my daughter says I ride like I have eyes on the back of my head now, lol…
It’s super low profile, non-obtrusive and does what you think it does…I was very skeptical but I’m sold on the idea…

oh man, if you guys are thinking of doing risers, a set of nice wedges in a shock absorbing Sorbothane or something would be sick!! like 5, 10, 15, 20, 25 degrees…like in a little angle tuning kit like Kiro has but a full riser like that above ^

Angled risers are not the best way to wedge or de-wedge since as the angle increases, the fastener spacing diminishes and the fasteners are left to deal with an abnormal clamping angle. It is better to choose trucks with adjustable base plate angles like Don’t Trip trucks: https://www.dtskate.com/SearchResults.asp?Cat=1963
As for asking a riser pad to act as a shock absorber, you end up with a riser pad that does not do either function you are asking it to do very well. As a mount, it is loose and flexible so it is not a good mount and as a shock absorber, it is limited in it ability to do so since it needs to keep the truck stable and transfer the angular turning input from the deck so it squishes when you turn and your mounting hardware is now tight in one side and loose on the other. Shock and vibration should be addressed elsewhere, not the truck mount.
