For now the 10400w 8s deleviry system is ample for 75mph… I’m happy with it’s performance and reliability… if we run into problems testing it will be addressed. Changing the drive to mod 1.5 gears… It moves the motor far enough away from the Axel that it can be narrowed 2". Still like the Castle Mamba XL X

All great things start with aluminium profile, rod end bearings, a BFH (big fu$king hammer) and a beer (or two)
Good luck Moe

Just got a text from the wheel builder. WR wheels are done. Should see them Monday… Can’t wait to see what the sauce looks like we’ve been collaborating on.

. WR wheels are here. These Duro at 65a 20pts harder than the Race Wheel… also 50x120mm reducing the contact patch. Kicked these around the neighborhood today. The roll resistance has been greatly reduced and I think in the zip code with pnumatics but can be better… ride quality is still excellent, will see how they are at speed.

Looking good MoeBro! 
Sounds to me like the 10kW will be barely enough to accelerate Moe’s gargantuan steel balls

I guess say hy to Kyle.
Following this closely, hope and can add something after Transylvania race, got something planned… 
Mod 1.5 I see you got the cans flush together now, how did you go getting the speed controllers on the box tube?
Looks awesome bro although I’m still trying to figure out leverage/clearance 
Dude, that thing is beautiful so far… 
Equipment will be mounted on a tray that slides inside the Monocoque box frame.

Fuck what does 75mph on a longboard feel like ? Must be incredible I’ve went fast on sports bikes and motocross bikeso but standing on a longboard at that speed love to know what it actually feels like

Don’t know about esk8 or 75mp/h +. 65+ on a gravity set up feels like the closest thing to flying honestly. The wind and its force is present at all times, feeling like a wall you are leaning against. Even though you fly by like a car your movements are slow, gracious and very mind full. You behave like in trance or a sloth waking up. Usually I am 100% in the moment. Not thinking, fully relying on instincts and muscle memory. Especially in wide corners you can fully grip it feels like your are riding with the wind. 10 minutes of that calmness in mind is more relaxing for everday stress than a weeks worth of holidays to me.
Afterwards the tingling and blood rush is a good indicator as well. Your just not quite sure if its the road vibrations or the adrenalin.

After form and function tests establish a reliable ridable baseline, the aero will be part of the final stages. Plan is to make it a sk8 suction cup.
