I’ll let you know after testing.
Just returned from a wicked ride. First I was riding 45 minutes like a maniac and the motors got quite warm but not hot. After 5 minutes break another 80 minutes including hill climbing. The motors were just warm, even colder than after the first 45 minutes.
How is this possible? 
At 21°C I can ride like there is no tomorrow without breaks and at 27°C they get sizzling hot after 15 minutes. I have no explanation, this is weird.
Maybe the sun had an impact on that, because they are black. Maybe it’s time to paint it white.
The sun was black when I rode at 27°C in the night

FOR PETG/ABS use these files https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/19o1mDq6L1XR2eg-poi7ln9MzIaLHOELP?usp=sharing
Yeah, PETG was a hell to get right, alloy 910 was significantly easier. Wish it wasn’t 3 times as expensive though.
I am still going to continue to use those PETG wheels for now. I am on 328km mark and only 1 of the 8 hub pieces has broken. I promptly replaced it with a nylon one and also updated the PETG design to make it stronger. If/as more break, I’ll continue to replace them.
These new wheels will go on a different board(when I make one, haha).

I’ve purchased around 4-5 sets now. All are perfect. Good find @Bobby

Tensile strength of 8,100 psi, should be absolutely fine.
Ok at the risk of looking stupid and asking something really obvious what is it? what does it do?
They are fittings for using elastomer dampers on Trampa mountain trucks.

Is that an atom longboards deck on the far right? That was my push deck 2 summers ago; compared to the decks I ride now (and after accidentally snapping its end off while going up a curb) I can’t imagine using that for an esk8 lol. Be careful riding that thing!
LOL yes my main board (blue one on the far end) is an Atom too and it rides awesome. However the ends of it aren’t destroyed like they are on the landwheel build with the green Atom board.
The green one is probably 6 years old now and yes it is falling apart, you can see that the back is breaking off, but it hasn’t really even cracked at all besides that. This deck will eventually be replaced but I mainly used it because I was doing the experiment with the landwheel setup and wasn’t sure exactly how it would end up working out.
All in all it rides great still and has some flex which is nice, but since the ends are separated it causes some issues. My friend and I just yesterday discovered the reason for the garbage turn radius with the the Landwheel hubs and this deck. Turns out that the two screw mounting points in the back literally just flex the end of the deck instead of turning the truck. Really we have been questioning why the turn raidus was so bad and now we’re convinced that it is due to this.
Mostly it is cheap and I feel it is better than most of the ebay decks. As a push board it rode super well and comfortably.

I think I have the same problem with mine!!! After it broke I cut it shorter and made new truck mounting holes, but despite being used to even shorter boards, when I make turns on it something feels unnatural and both me and my siblings fall off quite often. The board flexing would explain that issue!
