Haha, same here. @BillGordon writes the funniest things. It’s easy to see why he and Damon are friends.

It only comes as a TKP hanger, unfortunately. I wanted ABEC adapters and RKP initially, but now I’m digging the Kegel and I’ve made my peace with TKP.

But with the pioneer spirit of this community, I think there will options forthcoming.

I’m short one working Focbox, so I will update the review and the thread when I resume proper feeding of these animals.

I have been bouncing round from idea to idea today like a pool ball off the cushions. Got this ali express special carbon sandwich deck still in this incarnation (one on the left) ready with 4 focboxes and a 10s30q for yet another build option using 2 sets of elofty’s. What do you reckon guys? Worth it? Very tempting at the price point while I’m collecting the parts for the other wallet busting ideas.

Id say probably best to wait for more reviews

sound very promising though.

To me they dont for some reason

got potential tho

Whats getting me is the willingness to communicate by the company.

ehh, same shit with all companies

what doesnt get me is the insides and the person who designed the truck, do they know anything about esk8?

Probably not… yet. :sweat_smile:

TKP is unusual, so this drive isn’t ideal for a speed board.

@BillGordon get the Elofty guys on here! We can give ideas on how the next iteration can be improved!

So far it’s exactly two people who have tested it(3 have it in their hands) it and they have both really liked it. Also the metr pro plots of the ride looked pretty good to me. Those 3 were enough reasons for me to pull the trigger.

@topcloud and I should receive ours around the same time. From the looks of it, it arrives in less than 10 days. Is that true @DAddYE?

Its definitely a very good effort, the best/only dd you can buy right now and get it delivered.

It’ll be a couple of weeks before i can pull the trigger anyway so hopefully get some more info over that time. Really hope they turn out to be a good product though. Won’t it be a turning point if chinese companies actually start to produce some great gear. So many failed promises over the years. I remember everyone getting all excited about diye and we all know how that turned out. Fingers crossed.
