I also want to add that I am planning on releasing them when the enclosures are done.
They will then come in a package deck+enclosure.
The Pro version is an upgraded version of the standard deck with 9 layers of Canadian Maple, 2 Layers of Glass fiber (each 3rd and 7th layer crosslayered). And will come in a nice full black finish.
Then there will be the option to get the deck handskinned in 210gr Carbon fiber, this service will only be on demand due to the costs and workhoures involved.

Update regarding upcoming hangers.
Today we sat down with our CNC guy and first of i want to thank @Gerrycorrado for his insight and help towards the final design.
One thing that is set is that the hangers will be 240mm long, after talking about axles we decided (for now) to go with 49mm in bothh 8mm and 10mm variants.
The thread will be 19mm long and the wheel will be secured with a locknut.
Regarding the motormounts we have made some adjustments that will make the endproduct overall better.
Material stays the same T6 6082 Alu Alloy with a low tolerance cnc process.
Once the first hangers and mounts are ready we will pick a tester to put some miles on them, this way we can still adjust where necessary and make for a perfect final product.
The goal is to create not only wider hangers for bigger motors but mostly to create a product that has perfect fitment with high strength that can conquer the most rough usage.

That’s a beefy looking clamp on the hanger.
What baseplates does your hanger fir?
Caliber im guessing?

Indeed the hanger is designed in a way that they will fit Caliber and Paris baseplates (since those are the most used)
Once we have finalized the hanger and mounts and start mass production we will most likely also design and adjustable baseplate.
The clamps are indeed beefy but they still allow for enough room towards adjustment, all the sizes are chosen with strength in mind.
Although it does not seem like it the total package of hangers + motormounts are extremely lightweight.

Great. I’ve got a set of caliber adjustable baseplates just waiting for a worthy hanger.

Why are the ends of the hanger hex?
I understand that we want stuff that’s standardised but a hex shape is silly to standardise.

The 8 sides are positioned in a way that together with the clamps the mounts basically can be adjusted in any way desired.
If your question is why not just the same as Caliber or other derived ones, then its to make sure that the quality of the hangers and the motormounts stay the same and not swapped out by other motormounts which I can not guarantee the quality of.
Both parts are dialed in on each other and I want to keep it that way.
The idea is that I want people to ride these today and they will still be working in years from now.

That sounds a little anti DIY but ok

Will there be multiple lengths of motors plates?
Both forward and rear facing clearance?

Thats a good remark which I surely will take with me next time I meet my cnc guy.
@moon you can call it that but I dont see why I have to jump into the bandwagon of dozens other caliber clones.
We want to bring a quality product to riders, be it DIY’ers or others.
I want people to know they have quality under their boards that they can trust while riding.
I don’t see why that can not be with my own original design?
I can take the easy road and download some existing 3D files and get them made but what difference would that bring?
After our whole initial drama about our decks I decided that all we do will be made and designed by ourselves.

do your thing. Im just commenting on the profile which has nothing to do with the ride/performance of the truck, so if it still had the same profile as caliber it isn’t necessarily a clone.
