Parents own the apartment, and they’re gonna send us a fat bill. And I love most of my neighbors except for the old woman who yells at us for nonexistent problems. Fuck you Helen.
Its an investment in your future 
Oh absolutely, but I need space to sleep too.
Dragon and night hawk knew it. You need bunks

Gonna take this literally, I already have a bunk 
. Had two beds and convinced the other resident in my room to switch to a bunk
For reference, here’s my room. That small table with shit on it is my workbench.

I feel like you, me, and several others here, would benefit massively from one of those boxes with gloves built in that tv doctors always use.

Get ready for a absolutely genius plan
So the screw it has now M8, the clearance diameter for M8 is 8.5mm, the tap diameter for M10 is also 8.5mm, which means if you tap half of the clamp to M10 you can remove the nut all together, just make sure to use red loctite when you assemble it

This is too big for my brain. Isn’t this what the BN Precision clamps kinda do anyways?
Yeah, but you don’t have to wait a month to do it
That just translates to “rethread it but more better,” right?
This battery is third in my queue. It’s gonna be at least a month anyways🥲
That’s pretty much it
22lb, sexy as fuck, and almost done. Still have like 0 ground clearance from the motor mount screws. But apart from that it’s almost rideable.

large thane
It’d be too high off the ground tbh. I’m happy with this.
Yeah id just be worried about popping a mount loose 
Big Z up there had the best idea, honestly. Drill out the topside of the mount wider and rethread the bottom side, and use a wider bolt. Voila!
soooo
first ride report
its too powerful at 80 motor/50 battery per side. duhhh. Lowered it to 60/30 and its still fast and fun 
Problems:
-one of the motor mount clamps got loose. Oops. Fixed it mid ride and kept going
-that dumb ass screw that sticks out from the clamp kept getting caught on shit and is extra broken. lol
-MY FEEEEET. I think I’m gonna have some 90mm wheels soon, so we’ll see what that does for comfort. you win @Kai
-I live in NYC. NYC streets hate shortboards
The good:
-Why is it so powerful?
-Pretty good range all things considered
-The concave makes it really easy to control
-I hit like 24mph on it with loose ass bushings. Pretty stable IMO.

You could always use foam grip. Or if you wanna do some science for me, sorbothane is top notch at vibration dampening. Cags ain’t too bad with foam grip. You should try riding cags on an aluminum deck. Fuckin hurts, bro.

Can you not reverse that screw/mount so that the longer, exposed bit faces the other way?
