for all you guys concerned about the weight, it weighs apx. 1.5 Kg. My moded pro deck weighs like 1 Kg so ya, is about 1 Lb. more worth the increase in strength? I think so.

You cut this out of a solid block or what? Maybe Im too dumb to understand that concept but as far as I see, it's pointless. And what's with those screws? Think of something more realistic and you'll be fine.

No, Cad made it look this way, its 6 peices then the two foldy pieces.

use a thinner sheet of metal on the top, it looks way to thick. its not like ur foots gonna break through lol

I would but it needs to be thick enough to put countersinks in, thats how the design is, otherwise you'll have bolt heads sticking up outta the deck.

too many screws just too heavy shouÃ?Æ?Ã?â??Ã?â??Ã?¶d be out of one piece

I can't do one piece, unless you know where i can get that done cheaply. besides i want the parts replaceable. and ya, too many screws, im not sure how many ill need, there only 1/4 Dia. X 1/2 length countersunk screws, idk how strong thos are, but i want it soild as fuck!

Edit (07-21-08):

Okay sorry for the bump (mega bump i know) but i wanted to update this thread. I have purchased the Al and cut the pieces to the specifications of my design. I then bolted it together. It looks like a scooter, a lot like a pro deck acually, but heavier. I need to design a good braking system, round off the foldy part, and possibly weld the front because there is a little play there. I'll post pics when im done with all that. Oh, btw, its a tank...so solid !lol .

im finishing a design right now that i started a while back so i post that soon and you will be able to use 125s w/ it. im also desgining bars and i might try forks because i know a guy that will weld for free and he has tons of metal so ill only have to order stuff that i need exact sizes of.
 
sorry dude but that deck has too many parts and bolts for my also i think it doesnt look too clean sorry but thats just how i feel
