I thought i would share with you the latest creation from my workshop-
This is a dual rear drive 40" drop through I'm building for a good friend of mine who moved to Australia several years ago- I built a single 50mm for his son a few months back and he wants a bigger/faster one now!!lol
I've used it test out some new ideas- namely the new clear 2mm covers - and i'm really happy with the results-
Its running dual 5065 280KV motors with a 7S battery and the power is really nice - drop deck really makes it a nice ride and its rolling on 85mm Abec clone Beercan wheels.
How i did the cover-
I took a photo of the underside of the board- ( i wished i had got a better image-now..)
Then i had a vinyl print made with the image on the sticky side- and i stuck it to the underside of the clear sheet-
I then molded the cover in my vacuum former and the image came out really well. -it really blends into the deck
any image can be used or even just spray paited in the inside just like RC car bodies..the material is 2mm PETG Polyester and it seems virtually indestructible.. far more pliable than the ABS..
Then it was just a case of putting together the electronics and i added some LEDs for a bit of bling..For the top of the deck i used clear grip tape which i think really shows off the beauty of the maple deck..
i think my mate will love it.. I know i do.
