So I have managed to get my motors from 1/4" of the ground to 3/4" off the ground (6.35mm). I know that is pushing it but I cannot get any more room without ordering new mounts. Is this enough to… scrape… by?
Previously, with 1/4" I hit my mounts on every crack I went over. I should be okay now, but too large a rock could defiantly impact the motor.

3/4 thumb width is 19mm

I’m preetty sure 0.5cm of motor clearance is fine.

5mm is definitely NOT fine.

I’ve ran 8mm and it was an absolute disaster.

IMHO, for a street board, motor can clearance:

<20mm is a no-go
25mm is tight
30mm is acceptible
40mm+ is plenty

Probably just barely enough but undesirable

Okay for smooth streets like @MysticalDork said
