From looking at recent builds and the trend I feel like most people are just using small bypass bms now

That looks like it would be the most uncomfortable ride ever

i’m not using a bms on my giant pack (12s8p), just using a balance charger.
the smart bms is nice on small/discrete builds.
that is true, but clearly not in the same league as diebie. i think the benefits outweigh the difference in size.

I bet £25 the 74a 76mm ride better than crappy china clones at 83mm 
(for a short 80s reissue deck I want as ‘skateboard a feel’ as possible)

God I hope so!
Thank @Grozniy!
This one is @Mikenopolis’ Hummie deck. Some reinforcement in the battery cutout and then this fucking sick fabric he picked out.
It is just rough cut for now. Still needs to trim the edges, a few rounds of sanding and epoxy and glass frit! I love how you can just make out the “ghost carbon fiber” in the skulls!

Hey Pat so that’s what the link thingies do…you learn something every day…lol Its the way psychotiller likes to position them.
They look tough yes…
They are adjusted up within a mm of hitting the deck at full turn.
If you raise the board up at the nose until the motor mounts hit
its unlikely you will be going up a bump or transition that steep.
Me too a sweet spot for the GTX my first ride…I’ll never forget that…lol Even though I couldn’t ride for shit…
cheers

It is actually pretty easy to do you are basically wetting out the fabric in the epoxy and it soaks through the fabric and adheres to the deck. Same principles as putting carbon fiber or fiberglass.

It isn’t too terribly difficult, but like all things, there is definitely a hefty learning curve. It turns to shit if you don’t do it right. Ask me how I know 
.
And it takes a good bit of materials

Thanks @sender. I’m pretty sure this is harder to eff up compared to hydro dipping which is what I wanted to do. No stretching of graphics

Hydro dipping is cool as shit it looks so awesome but probably easier to turn the thermostat down in hell than to hydro dip.

Yeah most are ordered from bestech. The 12s on the far right was an eBay find. I have used these micro 10s before on a 10S1P battery. It works but it gets pretty hot while balancing.
I’m actually planning on selling most of these. Bestech makes you order at least two of each model you pick. I didn’t know which I wanted so I just got a bunch.
