The enclosure is meant to be scratched 
, it’s just pretty before the first ride for the picture. You can always detail it with sand paper and spray paint

true dat, I’m talking about the nose and tail so you can stand it up on concrete and shiz and the ends are protected
Sorry I think I wrote it maybe a bit unclear.
I was referring to the nickel connection in one of your p-packs.
There is a nickel to connect the positive terminals directly on the terminals and one on the top of your cells.
Wouldn’t be the top nickel strip enough?

In fact, yes it is enough, it’s even better for cell level fusing but I don’t think they will represent any harm, it might even help with current flow between paralleled cells.

That is a really really nice looking board man, thank you for making a post about it I feel like I’m not the only one who I would say benefited from seeing something fresh like that.

Stop building things right now my wallet is going to leave me. Or the wife or both. Another beautiful creation my friend.

Your battery building is like an art form. I was wondering whom would be the first to use the blue Caguamas!

This look amazing is this the final prototype for the enclosure…I love it dude…I looks alot slimmer then the first proto you sent me …
Sorry in advance, just PM’d you… had some questions and they just kept coming and got a little carried away but really appreciate any advice and help you can give/share with me. Thanks in advance!
Damn bro, once again you’ve set the standard for esk8 quality! Those blue cagumas are freaking dope! Bkb just came out with the tayto, is that a possible option also?

Enclosure wise? The regular jet enclosure already fits. Wheel wise, yes should fit without wheel bite
Yes, the enclosure for the spud is backwards compatible with the Tayto from bkb 
Right, but do you think the tayto competes with the moonshine? Have you tried the tayto?
The two decks aren’t really comparable in construction, and I’ve heard a lot of good things about the Sidekick.
Sidekick is vertically laminated with what looks like an improved version of the urethane rail from the Loaded Unicorn series, and I know Moonshine says that line is water resistant. I can say from experience with the Unicorn that the urethane rail does 100% diminish normal road vibration, and I would expect the same from the Sidekick.
Tayto is a traditional, lightweight maple, 7-ply deck - which is why I bought the Tayto to use with my UNIK boards kit and blue Kegels.
The Tayto is exactly what I am looking for in a ten-mile board (and I have a Mini X, aka the most over-hyped board since the Acton Qu4tro).
All that being said; if I had to have one board, and only one… it might be Alan’s Sidekick.
This one looks like a production prototype; I have no higher praise to give.
Good hunting

Nice build. I’ve had my eye on this deck for awhile. I’m a huge fan of shorter kicktail decks that are stable at speed. I usually route my phase wires through the deck LHB style, do you see any issues doing that on this deck?
Very nice! Where did you place your charging port? I’m thinking of placements for power switches and charging ports, still deciding on where…
Place it on top of the enclosure near the nose, it’s always rewarding to kick tail your board up and plug the charger without bending yourself down for once.
