Ash:
if you can manage to fit everything in a single stack, even if you need to add a 1/4in gasket or something, i’d do it. the double stack robs you of a lot of ground clearance, especially since you’re doing smol wheels.
this is why originally I had planned to get everything together, measure it all and get an enclosure that fits but I was told theres an order i should do it.
If I could be of assistance, it would be to choose your items in a certain order. Don’t choose anything else until you’ve chosen your deck and enclosure. Because you need to know if it will even fit. Enclosures are much more difficult than you think, and you need to know if flexibility will be something you design for, or not. So go in a certain order, along the whole way making sure you choose things that are compatible with each other.
helmet
deck + enclosure (flex?)
battery (flex?)
ESC(s)
drivetrain & trucks & motor mount
wheels
motors
{everything else} remote
aesthetics: grip, colors, lights
Leaving enclosures until last as an afterthought is a surefire way to end up in a less-than-ideal position.
this is the reason for smol wheels, may adjust to bigger wheels if you guys say is necessary.
