This is the bit where you tell everyone youāve been here for 3 years but only joined in November?
Yeah heard that one before. The point is the 2 of you are in here spouting spurious opinions based on very little experience and arguing with people that actually know what they are doing. Not only is this disrespectful its stupid because when you eventually need some advice the answers will be slow to come.
Do love the name though and if that is your actual name then well done to your parents.

TIL having an opinion is disrespectfulā¦
Can we shut this thread down? Weāre not going anywhere and I donāt need to get notifications for this abuse.

I think you know exactly what I am talking about and you are just being deliberately obtuse. Your level of education must have given you some semblance of a social skill set.
Kids right @mmaner
Mike can we end this farce.
Please review the thread. I have been nothing but respectful this entire time, yet have been the subject of insults and abuse.

When you come off hot and heavy stating nobody else knows what they are doing, itās no surprise when itās actually you who doesnāt.
Esk8 take a lot of abuse with vibrations and water/brine and have to be EXTREMELY durable. Way more than other products. If you donāt make it correctly, it will break immediately. (Of course you will get that one ride for youtube or your homework assignmentā¦)
A lot of things I made broke on the first ride evenā¦
But you choose not to listen to that because you want to feel the stuff breaking for yourself, which is fine. But stating that will be ācheaperā is not factual because you will spend more in the end, like so many folks here that are trying to tell you something.

Whether or not Iām wrong, I would still request that you go back over the thread to see how the interaction occurred. Best case scenario, a bunch of pros just destroyed a noob trying to make a lame claim about enclosures. Worst case scenarioā¦ I donāt know.

Hey Brian I think the point is how much value do you get for each dollar spent, cheap crap does suck, but thereās a point where youāre spending somewhat unnecessary money unless you really like that product.
For example, Iāve had 8 boards from 2016, evolves, arc boards, an ownboard, a raptor 2, 4 diys , and the only one that hasnāt broke down on me has been the 2000 yuan (300 usd) ownboard on an icarus deck. The rest especially the evolve and raptor, theyāve both broken down more times than I can count on both hands and feet. Iāve ridden all of them a lot, at least a thousand Kms each(3-4k on the evolve and raptor) with the exception of the arc and my most recent diy
Itās the illusion of quality that comes with price, which is the point here. There can be cheap and great stuff like boardnamics 15 and 20 dollar mounts, and then expensive crap like mboards reseller parts or evolve boards.
Iād say after using @riverside.rider haggy parts they seem to have the best value for $ if you want performance. His service is impeccable too.
Even the raptor 2 that uses high quality parts run into so many issues, due to how many parts there are, and how easy it is to fuck up on the assembly line due to the complexity of assembly compared to say a boosted or meepo.

If you think they are too expensive you should have jumped on the Black Friday deal @psychotiller had going they were all for $40 an incredible deal. I have 2 of his enclosures and they are great. I have had some good size stones hit the enclosure and it didnāt get a scratch so I would have to say you should get the enclosure from him

Yeah the 40 dollar deal was Super sweet. Nice and thick abs that almost fit my 10s10p (had to add some extra gaskets ). Only gripe is the finishing on the edges were rough and sharp at different places but some sandpaper took care of that

Wouldnāt your ESC melt? 
What deck is that?
But how do you carry it? Do you have an 11 meter long trailer you pull behind you?

This seems to happen a lot. I feel like you have been pretty respectful and havenāt really said much to piss anyone off, imo.
Either way, I like the topic of this thread and some of the on topic discussion has been great. Iām all for saving money, and like the Chinese six shooter thread or whatever it is, Iām one of those people who are willing to compromise in certain areas just because I donāt have thousands or even hundreds to spend Willy nilly after having bought some quality parts that matter.
I love the idea of just a rubber sheet as a replacement for an enclosure, maybe some nylon printed reinforcement for impact resistance under there would be great.
And I had no idea about that polycase companyā¦ They have full aluminum enclosures (dual ESC sized) for $25, Iām thinking the enclosure could be an integrated heatsink itself with some thermal adhesive and neoprene foamā¦ Mmm

At what point is it easier to use something like a hose reel to wind it up?
