really just like 2mm each side but you have to get more than halfway down with the cut. The hand plane worked perfect because the blade was at the right height when the the tool rested in the cutout.

Not to put fear into you, but my best guess is that messing with the corners was what made my hummie deck crack, keep a close eye on it

You and your hummie mod is exactly what I was thinking about the whole time I was taking a knife to my TB40.
I honestly took so little material out if that made a significant structural difference there would be a flaw otherwise.

The thing is that sharp corners are a big stress concentration factor that can start a crack, hopefully that does not happen
My cracked deck is still alive, every time it cracks I put a bit more superglue in it

perhaps a little cf/fg reinforcement is a good idea for the corner
I’m just gonna throw a glob of epoxy/jb weld into the corner to be safe

do i have to use epoxy for the inserts? my insert seem to be a tight fit in the pre drilled holes already.

Yeah, currently you would want to use epoxy. JB Weld Cold Weld seems to work the best but tape off the bottom of the inserts to prevent any epoxy going into the threads.
JB Weld is crazy strong. You won’t be able to get those inserts out afterwards.

I got nervous about cracks from routing also, so only routed the middle of the recess (not near the corners) and did Unidirectional CF reinforcing.

It’s been hot as shit outside here in AZ, and I have taken her out for a few hot laps around the neighborhood. I’ve been too lazy to put my helmet and gear on, so I haven’t pushed the speeds past 20 MPH. Happy with the torque and responsiveness of this build. I have also found the smart reverse to be my preferred method of braking. Overall I am stoked that my first build turned out so well. I do plan on getting a Speedboard at some point in my life, though.
I went with the TB complete setup because I wanted a basic DIY experience without having to wire stuff, solder anything, or buy parts from several different vendors. Basically, plug and play is A-OK with me!
