Depending on which specific 80mm motors they are, it may be fairly easy to modify a 63mm mount to fit the motor, as long as the mount is long enough.

I don’t know where to find 80mm mounts. I bet if you send @Boardnamics a motor he could make a mount for it.

My 80mm motor has 56mm dia holes instead of the typical 40mm dia, yeah that would be an option but it’s not a quick, cheap one

Fast Cheap Good, you usually get to choose two of them.

If you want “Fast” and “Cheap” then you are almost always sacrificing “Good” and will get cheap china shit.

I’d suggest going for “Good” and “Cheap” – aka you make it yourself or modifiy one – or going for “Good” and “Fast” and paying someone to custom make one.

is it super necessary to have a speed ring between the end nylon nut and the outer bearing? I feel like the inner race is raised enough that the nut never touches the rest of the bearing?

As long as the nut doesn’t touch the seal or the outer race it should be fine. I prefer using them if possible.

Measured the Evolve motor mount. I don’t have torque boards motor mount, so can’t say if they are compatible. Either way, torque boards own bumpers seems to be a better option.
