Mini deck I made today. Tommarrow I'm making a real size one and it'll have a head tube. Idk how wide it is but it feels a little wider then 4.

Make sure you grind your welds down hahaha, dont wanna get tetanus

 

[Broccoli1]

once i grind through my v2i i'll make myself some grind plates.
PSS AUS, where did you get the material from?

Looks like it is a Trade name in OZ

You could try Delrin but it ain't exactly cheap either

i was doing some research and i saw that website. thats a little too price though. i think im going to try UHMW sheets intead. its a little cheaper and its what magray plegs were made out of, and i loved those pegs.
and grant, that deck is going to be extremely heavy. i made a deck out of steel and it was soooo heavy. it might work for a hillbombing scooter though

I might be able to get some for free- I'll find out tomorrow. Have a friend in Special FX that probably has some around his shop.

Lol I know hahah it's because I was welding with too high of a voltage, it's steel so it's gonna suck and I was using arc welding, but ewhen I lower the voltage the weld are smooth.

A company in the US produces it under the name "Vestamid".
But good luck getting your hands on it, it's nearly impossible unless you are a manufacturer buying it in pellet form in bulk.

thats pretty nucx exact same design as my dirt scoot and i'm starting to get concerned about how strong it'll be. is that a strong enough design?

 

[Grant Schofield]

Well this one isn't big enough to ride but it the same design as the old tsi so its strong

 

[Jacob Mahon]

Idk it doesn't feel to bad but well see

Edit: its coming in at 4.5 pounds, pretty good for a steel deck if you ask me.
