So when starting this I wanted to make a deck that mimics the Bajaboard because I cant afford a real one. So being a cheap crafty teenager, yes I know I’m young but don’t let that fool you, I began my project. This has always been an idea in the back of my head and recently I decided I was going to make it a reality. Right now I’m just want to learn everything I need to know and that might take a while even being a fast learner. My plan is to build an Electric Mountain board since me and my friends tend to go camping frequently. I wanted to bring along something that will bring a little more fun for the trips. I’ve always loved tinkering with electronics and am right now studying to be an engineer. So that’s a little about me let me show you some pictures!
I was first going to use CF and Bamboo like in @MasterCho thread but when Composite Invisions couldn’t supply the CF because it was in high demand I looked around for other options and found Basalt. I’ve heard it’s what Trampa uses, it’s strong and cheep and it looks great!

I’ll be using the Fabric above for the exterior and for strength I’ll use 8 layers of Basalt Quad Axial Fabric 680gsm 0 degree, 90 degree, 45 degree, -45 degree
The photos show me making a template, which was to long, getting some foam and bamboo from Roarockit then gluing the foam so I could cut it to make a cheap press, cutting the foam smoothing it out and covering it with tape. Finaly I’ll be getting the fabric and laminating resin soon to hopefully make the deck complete.I havent even started figuring out the electronics yet, but so far it’s been a lot of fun!
Edit: looks like the pictures are a little out of order, I’ll work on cleaning them up.
I was worried about them breaking as well so I did a dry run with one of the planks of bamboo to see if it could handle that type of angle. Looks like all I need is more clamps.
I found some on this site https://basalt-fabric.com/ but you have to contact them to figure out prices. They have a very large selection of different weaves of fabric, and they have a resin / fabric coating that keeps the fabric from darkening or turning green like the Trampa board.
So to go along with this board I quickly threw together a list of electronics. I know this is going to be far from the final draft but I just wanted to show you guys where I’m at. My goal is to go offroad and on hills without a problem. Help will be appreciated.

Ok just a few things, I don’t think those mounts will fit on to the trucks without lots of modification. I would also look at some other builds and see what trucks/ wheels they are using as those ones I’ve never seen and the wheels don’t look like they would have much grip on off road. That charger is also no good unless you have a 6s battery or less and don’t mind waiting 2h+ for charging.
Apart from that the motors, pulleys and remote are all good, although bigger motors might be needed depending on weight and sort of off-roading you’ll be doing
Thanks, I relized I’m gonna have to do alot more research like battery types, motor Kv, esc’s, and I’m also going to work on organizeing this topic a little more.
I would recommend getting focboxs just because they would be more reliable on an off-road board. Btw if your on a tight budget Keda 195kv motors are a great steal, much cheaper than those of you listed and very reliable, well mine have been. They have taken a considerable knock at about 30km/h into a concrete pillar with only a scratch.
They have two versions 6364 and 6356 (listed as 5663 for some reason) I have used both
Might want to re think that battery. It is a 2s battery which is far below what was offered as the common range of 6s. I suspect you might be wanting to run them in series which will still only get you 4s. That motor is appropriate for 6s-10s in my opinion.
and put them in series to try and mimic this build by @Namasaki, I guess I should’ve specifide that, my bad. And I think by doing this It’ll hopefully work.

Maybe you could round the edges little?
