On one of my boards I had my battery suspended in a gorilla tape hammock inside the enclosure for a while. Maximum vibration resistance

Longboard Orangatang Kegel 36 Tooth Pulley for 9mm, 12MM and 15mm Belt by JuniorPotato93 - Thingiverse This is the pulley I plan on using would the 12mm work for a single drive board or do I need 15mm. Some one has a 12mm already printed, and is willing to sell it to me, or I can wait until his printer is ready ( about a week or two) and he will print it in 15mm. The pulley is in petg
aluminum machined pulley would be better

My only problem is clearances, the motor has about .5 inch (1.27 cm). I wanted to the motor under my deck, but I run in 2 problems. First the motor mount tuoches the deck if I turn too hard. Second I am unable to run the cables in to the enclosure.
That’s not enough clearance, IMHO. Try putting the motors on the inside of the trucks; does that help?

I think for now im going to keep it like this for testing (aka setting up my vesc) and when its finally time to finish and pollish up the board I will figure it out
Basically my motor mount is to short. So I was thinking about making a mount out of a carbon fiber sheet and using the clamp from my old mount. Any suggestion on how to go about this and which thickness I will need.
Also I am thinking about carving grooves on my board to help prevent wheel bite, any suggestion on that?
Does anyone have any experience repainting their trucks, I just had a new idea for an awesome color scheme.

Glue sandpaper to the wheel, turn on the motors, press wheels into the deck.
Just like any other thing you paint. Be aware that the paint will look like shit after the first few runs, as lots of pepples will hit it.
Yes, this. Or just use griptape which has already adhesive on it, and is often found in the vicinity of skateboards.

What do you think the minimum motor clearance is.
But positioning matters a lot too, depending on where the motors are relative to the wheels. Similar to this:
Also motors that are behind wheels seem to catch more debris than motors that are before wheels, in the direction of the forward roll.

The gap between my deck and enclosure is like .5 inch what would be a gasket to get.

Any rubber or closed cell foam sheet should work. Rubber sheets are cheap and easy to find.
