That’s a good idea. I was thinking about the metal tape they use on air ducts. I tube would definitely protect well
Metal tape seems dangerous imo. Get a bad rock that manages to pierce and you just created yourself a nice taser

@b264 This will do? I just find the prongs weird. Where do the black and red wires solder to (which prong)?
Yes, that’s exactly what I use. The red goes to the center pin and the black goes to the side pin.

2 of these in parallel should be enough for spot welding? I’m kinda struggling a bit to get good welds.
Anyone know what the hell is rattling inside my street Carver hangar??? I dissembled my truck yesterday to reinstall my light. If I were tilting it left or right, i could hear 2 things moving and knocking against the axles.
Could it be a bad bearing? Or maybe the screws on your wheel/pulley are loose?
Is this on a truck with motors or no?
Can anyone tell me the gear system or motor mount where the motor shaft is perpendicular to the truck hangars? I think sofu recently posted a picture of one.
Front truck and its inside the hangar. No wheels, springs, base plate or screws. Removed it all and noticed the sounds
Spiral bevel gears gearbox

remove the little screw under the hanger and take out the axle. see whats inside
It will be fine. I have done it before. Make sure to apply loctite when you screw it back in.
ahhh i need help.
I have spent hours and hours looking at decks a truck combos for an emtb and i have come up with no solution. I want to spend no more than 1500 euros with these parts specs;
10s5p (on top of deck)
TB 6380 motors
Unity
50km/h
50km+ range
option for street wheels
I don’t want trampa because then i need trampa trucks and motor mounts that are way too expensive. I really don’t know what deck to use.
You can’t get a cheaper deck than this one.

but with emtb don’t you need special trucks because the nose and tail have an angle?
Only look at My Build 2
the others were tests
What are you trying to build?

@moon something between a mtb and an AT board. Not to heavy, good range, good speed, something I can put bindings on, a little flexy but does not affect speed, can do jumps and tricks but nothing to extreme, good torque (i live in the french alpes).
