CRAB🦀RACCOON🦀V2

clearance is clearance

Besides, if two things touch, just put griptape on one of them. Somehow, some way, they will cease to touch after a while :joy:

Yeah I’ve got their ugly step siblings (ecalibers) running at the moment with maytech 6355s that are much longer than 55 with that stick out at the end. If they were more structurally sound they’d be great

I took a stab at this and could not do it with 15mm belt pulleys…

Ah tits. Well if it doesn’t work that’s grand, I’ve got plenty more jank to throw at it. Next on the list are like 5045s and a lighter deck to really lean in to the compact idea. I did get these 6354s mounted on calibers with ~125mm between the outer faces of the mounts, but it’s very possible I’ve goofed something else in the cad that doesn’t account for core width or fasteners or something

Ooh not a bad idea lol

I’m doing a shortie build this year, finally.

I was going to ask why this was in both shortboard and mtb tags…

Little do you know what you’re up against. :rofl:

I’ve posted a few hints on the picture thread of initial work if you want to see your competition, but I have big plans that will be worked on over the year.
Build thread will be made after the initial fixes are made and I’ve tested it though

I agree. I’ve got 6354s on mine and there is a good 3 cm between the motors of extra room. Might be able to squeeze something bigger on if you use a slimmer belt.

Make it taller and your problem is solved. Downside is it is harder to find good bolts that are long enough with an inch worth of risers. :weary:

Last I checked I almost won last year.

I wasn’t here last year :wink: and didn’t get enough done in 22 to justify a build thread.

Although I could be wrong and maybe people won’t think custom painting and making pretty enclosures with tight seals is good enough for BOTY. :person_shrugging:

Taller and then offset them or what? The issue is the cans are end to end and touching there

Keep this attitude up and you could build a tesla from bits of rope and an old lunchbox and no one would vote for you.

I think I misunderstood where the clearance issue was. :person_facepalming:

Can you not reposition the motor mounts to have the motors offset? as in they wouldn’t be in the same position on both sides. Might look kind of weird but it could work

Test ride!
Robo only recorded one side of data (oops)

@ApproachCautiously, maybe don’t litter @Evwan thread with your desires for BOTY in coming years.
Make a great ride, and be proud of it.
In the end, BOTY means nothing actually.

No @rusins, This girl is looking for affirmation on her works, but probably not going about it correctly. Receiving a “BOTY” on a skate forum will never fill a real void that is needed in one’s life.
