I don't know the dimensions, but here are the pros and cons:


Pros:
- Makes your scooter heavier
- Makes grinds (especially 50-50s) easier
- Seems to actually reinforce your deck, though I suspect that force taken by the dropouts is now redistributed to the folding mech

Cons
- Makes certain tricks harder (whips especially)
- Makes your scooter heavier
- Time consuming to make, generally expensive to buy

pros- super strong
cons- heavy

 

[alexanderespinoza]

Pros.
they are like lead weights
they are ugly
Cons.
they are external and will screw up over time
they don't bolt propperly

 

[dylancrower]

weight freaks

there fine i would use internal reinforcements though because like alexander said the do get beat up

they will bolt properly if the holes line up

u can go to home depot or lowes and ask for some square tubing just bring your deck with u to see if its the right size

 

[Chase Robertson]

for pro models its 3/4 in alum. The rest you kinda have to figure out on your own :[

but i love mine and cant stand riding without em cus it makes the deck feel to weak to me, kinda like going from an unreinforced pro to an a model.

um.. im pretty sure it doesnt change whips THAT much...
fucks u up for wallrides tho. thats why im over em

its called square box, ive been riding them for about a month, and i dont like them, i prefer steel strip. alu box are too light

 

[Vito]

How much weigh box reinforcements ?
Are there many differences between stainless steel tube and aluminium tube (weight and toughness) ?

 

[molewood4]

steel box: strongest but heavyest
alubox: pretty strong and pretty light

 

[Vito]

but steel box is not critically heavy?

will not it cause me many troubles learning and doing tricks?

I can't find aluminium box in my town, that's why I'm looking to buy steel box.....now my scooter reinforced with aluminium pipe
