i assume the webhoster was down or something?
boundmotor and eovan websites work for me.

so its my problem then, time to bring out the VPN and VMs
I’m after a deck that’s short and fat. And yes I said DECK haha.
In the 31 to 34 inch range with a kicktail is ideal and wide enough to accommodate TB 218mm trucks. Wheel arches be good. The Loaded Omakase or Coyote are options I’m considering but not sure if wide enough
Tayto
Kicktail on the Tayto sucks.
I got this one
Try the 30.43" Powell-Peralta Bones Brigade Mike McGill Skull & Snake Series 10 Reissue as seen on the Blue One
The one with the “cheeks” in the front, not the smooth round nose version.
With a wheel well mod
i got no other shortboard to compare it with, but it seems to work just fine…for me…for now…i guess
It’s the Powell Peralta OG Bug but it’s a tad bit shorter than the McGill deck with the cheeks
Those cheeks are very good for high-speed stability
Thanks for the suggestion. It looks good on your build. You’re running 184mm hangers and I’ll have 218mm so will stick out a dair bit more. I think I made a mistake going with the 218mm for a short board. I wanted the 180mm but motor mount wasn’t compatible. Should have probably looked elsewhere. Oh well.
I’m just gonna say it now, this doesn’t look great.
But if you want to feel awesome performance then try a 218mm/220mm hanger in the back and a 184mm hanger in the front. It rides so nice… looks like crap with the back wheels sticking out… rides awesome.
I have a number of skates set up that way.
Another snowy day, so I decided to deep clean my cheap Chinese board that I’m currently using for some esk8 sessions in a dusty indoor parking lot…
For the first time after almost a year I opened the motors (black ones) and as you can see the magnets are covered in dust. Does all this dirt affect the performance and the life span of the motors?
I’m not worried for these pair of motors in particular, I’m more worried for the Myatechs 6365 (red ones) that will push my first DIY build… as you can see from the pictures the cheap Chinese motors don’t have big openings on the can, while the Maytech 6365 do have big holes on the can, I wonder how dirty they are going to be after a month of work and if they will be ruined by every kind of stuff that can get stuck in the copper wires.
Am I just being paranoid for no reason? should I just open the motors every now and then to clean them up? or should I try to cover those openings?
This is normal.
no.
Yeah, it can. This is why I coat the windings so dust doesn’t get in between them. It can also reduce the bearing lifetime. It shouldn’t affect the magnets at all.
This is brake dust from automobiles, typically contains some metal, and is generally not a good thing, but it’s also not the worst thing in the world.
Fair enough. Yeah digikey and mouser will have them. Didn’t want to go that route because I am so damn lazy haha. But this is definitely the proper way to go
Anyone have any recommendations for front bushings? I’m running an LY Evo 40” with a 50 front/30 back split angle setup with riptide 93a barrel bushings in the back. I want something stable at 30mph but also able to turn well.
I would match the front and back bushing duros. But that’s just my personal preference. It’s more stable for me.
Yeah that’s what I think I’m gonna do but I’ve heard that firmer bushings in the back and weaker bushings in the front is good sometimes
You can try that, but to me that makes things more unstable. That’s the specific thing I don’t like.
Adjusting the rear ANGLES is something totally different — and good — but I still like the same soft bushings on the back that are on the front.
What is the best method to make sure the cables cant get off the receiver?
Mess everything up with HotGlue?
Should I solder them directly to the pins?
Just a drip hardcorE glue?
What do you guys recommend?
neutral cure silicone and/or a piece of string tied around it
Tried the string method with everything lying around, but no success…
The plug is so weak and loose I will go the silicone route then.
Thank you, Brian
