As I read through this forum I see a lot of people showing their drive trains scratched or the belts ripped and stuff like that. I also love the look of the almost completely covered drivetrain. I feel it’ll look better in the overall. I think something like this looks significantly better than this. (yes, I understand I am comparing a boosted board to a DIY, I’m just showing the difference please don’t come after me)
However, I saw this thread:
But the files were for Boardnamics when I already bought my mount kit from torque boards(normal/inward mounts) and motors from flipsky (dual 6354). What do you guys recommend for this? I am willing to change my mounts as long as it doesn’t cause that much altering needed for the rest of my build. I can also 3D print.
On the other hand, I saw these boosted skid plates on amazon and I think they look really cool. They are made out of aluminum instead of hard plastic which will make it last longer. But the problem is that I would need to have motor covers that fit those plates AND I don’t even know if it’ll fit a DIY.
@Sn4Pz how is yours working out? Not that you can probably ride yet… Dammit now I feel bad for typing this. Why am I still typing? I’ll just hit reply and see what happens.
Boosted use tiny belts and small motors so they can stash them in tiny spaces. Personally, I like to go fast and require larger motors so clearance becomes an issue. So then you get longer motor mounts and zoom. But then you want to look sleek so you get a gear drive.
