At the moment I have about 40mm of clearance so realistically it isn’t actually that bad.

40mm is fine for a street board, could take about 10mm off and be okay IMHO.

@b264

My experience is 8mm is “extremely ridiculously terrible” and 20mm is “not enough” and 30mm is barely enough to be comfortable but does work.

25mm might be tight but workable. Try to get a few more millimeters. Put griptape on the motor can and sand the deck if you need to.

@b264

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

For offroad, ignore all of this.
