If you do, we could do a group buy for EU boards.

That, I would be down for
I already have too many boards. But If you ship internationally Iām so in. Iāll just have to keep telling myself you can never have too many good things.
9s4p is a killer battery for that price board. You could drop it to 9 or even 10s3p and it would still be a budget board killer.

11 ounce cans of Stella? I think your wife is stepping on your shit broā¦ sounds like its cut by an ounce haha.
On a serious note, would like to see you go for this and share your story throughout. The first step should be building one of these units and testing it to see if its actually fun or fills a hole in the market. If there is nothing unique about it and it is more expensive than the clones, I donāt think people are going to want to buy it just based on whoās building it. With cheaper boards, you may also be signing yourself up for a pain of supporting a high volume of newbie customers 
Something to keep in mind.
Also thats going to be FUCKING expensive and if there is one mis-step (supplier of cheap shit sends youā¦ cheap shit that doesnāt work) what are your options? Do you have to cover the build costs out of pocket (out of house?) potentially there is a huge risk here and the chinese mfg may just shrug and say āwhatever, youāre out 20Kā¦ what are you going to do about itā
YOLO though, so go for it man

Iām in ajua!
I think theyāre metric ounces which must hold more alcohol because five of those and it was bed time.
You are correct about the demographics. Thatās one part iām not looking forward to.
I already have access to most of what i need to build a prototype, the trick is going to be getting motor or drive train samples.
@longhairedboy keep me posted if this goes ahead,have a mate of mine wants a board,iv offered to build one for him but if he can save money buying a complete like this and shippings not too pricey heāll want it.

I think itās a great idea. I love the board you built for me. If I didnāt already own one of your premium boards I would pre order right now.
Yeahā¦ iād be in.
Careful of that bottle nose blank deck. Thatās what i built on and it snapped because the stress is concentrated at that narrow spot. Just something to look for if you are looking at those cheap blank boards off eBay.

not sure if you do yourself a favour with cheap mass market compared to exquisite high priced custom boards.
my idols are 1166 longboards in germany https://www.1166longboards.com who focus on premium decks with over the top finish, incredible veneers and perfect performance in the ldp longboarding niche!
i drool over every boards of theirs cause each one is a work of art.
then again, becoming more premium than chakas cutting edge boards, an evolve gt or the biggest dual+ boosted with extralarge battery? pretty hard I guess! if i werent so picky about so many small details id probably run any of the 3 mentioned boards.

iāve got a lot of college kids in my area that drool over my builds but canāt quite get there. I was hoping to bring them something that still had some juice but didnāt cost a fortune but also wasnāt totally crap.

You can count me in! EU boards group buy sounds also interesting.
Wow! You can barely find a single belt drive board for $750 thatās crazy, I probably canāt get one because I dropped about that much on my own. But heāll thatās a great deal
