    Psychotiller's 6x2 Pneumatic Wheel Hubs - BUILD

    Christmas came early for me! :D At last, the long wait is over. These things are absolutely beautiful! I still need to do a few things before I can get rolling (timing belt, new deck, and EC5 connectors/parallel my two 3s8000mah lipos), but I wanted to get this new build/thread started. Have...

    Need ideas for a non-invasive battery mount on eboard!

    Buy some velcro strips (the kind with the adhesive backing) and stick two pieces (rough side) to the top of your enclosure where the straps go across. Line them up with the loop/buckle end of the straps (I recommend two straps) and secure them on. Because the straps are felt material, they'll...

    Can brushless motors get water damage?

    I've rode through rain a few times and have had no problems (even with water getting inside my enclosure - yikes!). Just run your motor for a minute or so when you're done riding and the heat should evaporate any moisture. And/or take the motor apart and give it a little detailed TLC (it's not a...

    Trampa EMTB Chaindrive V2

    The streetcarver is pretty badass looking, but I was more so wondering if I could put my Caliber trucks (for example) on one of their blank decks. It looks like the hole patterns might be different but it could be the angle of the pictures.

    Trampa EMTB Chaindrive V2

    These Trampas make me drool. Do you, or anyone, know if you can put longboard trucks on one of their decks?

    If only I could put my longboard parts on a Trampa :( Definitely going to scour the internet for something similar though. Your craftsmanship is beautiful and it looks like a dream to ride! :D

    How's the combination of the flexy deck and pneumatics? My second board will be sitting on pneumatics (with Psychotiller's gorgeous hubs :D ), but I'm torn between a stiff drop-through or a drop-down (which I think is more flexy than the former) or something different if suggested. I imagine...

    Working on Custom Carbon Fiber Deck

    I love that your design is symmetrical both horizontally and vertically. Not sure how you all feel about drop-down decks, but this is a pretty gorgeous example of a carbon fiber one: http://www.axsgear.com/blog/axslongboardgear/carbon-matrix-by-omen/

    Board Suspension?

    The Avenues have my attention too. Almost seems too good to be true. I'm concerned that because they're so new, we don't know how they hold up over time. It's scary to think about that little piece of metal warping or breaking in the middle of a ride.

    Board Suspension?

    I was looking up if suspension for skateboards is a thing and I came across these: https://seismicskate.com/product/trucksseismic_g5_45_degree_spring_truck/ and http://shop.avenuetrucks.com/collections/products I'm curious to know if they perform and if they're quality...

    Alien Drive -NEW Universal Truck mount

    Gorgeous work as always, beetbocks! And as a graphic designer, I must say that I love the new monogram logo! :)

    10s4p 6x2" pneumatic with twin g160's and twin vesc's

    Just wanted to BUMP up the volume on this thread in case anyone missed the news and wants in. I know I'm not the only one excited for these! :D

    OpenSource Handheld Controller (E-go similar)

    Any reason for thumb slider over trigger throttle? The index finger feels more natural given it's more articulated, which would give you more precise control. I think Badwolf has it down (also Alien made a nice one but I think they've been out of stock). Can we create a poll to see what people...

    Drilling a keyway in a motor shaft : advice needed

    Yes, a very steady hand. I recommend anchoring your forearm on your desk and pivoting it (or leg/knee if you are crouched on an apartment balcony like I was. lol). Same with your other hand, which holds the motor. I marked off the shaft with a Sharpie and flattened it to that point. If you...

    OpenSource Handheld Controller (E-go similar)

    Maybe a modified thumb throttle? Never played with one in person, but they're cheap for experimentation and there's lots of kinds. Any reason why slider/thumb over trigger/index?

    Community Project - All.In.One CARBON FIBER DECK

    Maybe Hi5ber would be interested in working with ES? Eboards are big now, so it might be an interesting proposition for them to expand into the field. They're a small father-son business and seem to put out good products at reasonable prices. And supporting small businesses is always a good...

    Community Project - All.In.One CARBON FIBER DECK

    RE: Controller Triggers > thumb sliders/joysticks! It feels much less natural using my thumb than it does my index finger on a trigger. And I'm assuming it's because the human index finger is way more articulated than our thumb. Greater articulation means more sensitivity when operating the...

    Alien Drive Systems- new Urban commuter build

    Nice board! What's the length on that deck? Looks shorter than 36", but could just be the angle

    TorqueBoard's Dual 63mm SK3 on 6" All Terrain Setup

All of them are really cheap. My current deck has that teardrop shape, so I want...

    Custom Battery Packs? INTERESTED?

    I'm still not understanding 7s as being a default minimum, vs 6s. It just seems like it overly complicates things given the 1s difference, which makes those of us using 6s-rated ESCs and chargers SOL. Regarding your double-stack layout - will that allow the batteries to cool effectively...

    Compression Molded Carbon Fiber Deck

    WOOT! Seriously can't wait. It's been over three months since my wheels took a poop. Got all my hardware for the pneumatics ready to go! :D

    Compression Molded Carbon Fiber Deck

    If you're riding on rough roads, I feel safe saying it's a necessity that you get softer wheels or even better - pneumatics. Not sure what the durometer of mine were, but I was riding 83mm abec clones and with less than 300mi on them (less than 6mos of riding) the core of my drive wheel...

    6" Pneumatic Riverbed Board has new Aluminum Wheels

    Sorry Psycho, but I have to be annoying and ask... Any updates on the next batch? I'm dying for a set of those beasts :)

    10S custom skate ESC: testers wanted!

    I'm not in the market yet for a new ESC, but when the time comes I'm sure I'll throw down for one of these. Anyways, my 2cents: I agree with you about the split design maybe not being the most practical, just because it doesn't seem to provide any significant benefits besides a different...
