Can confirm, I took one down the hill once and had to will it not to snap. Like Quinn said though, some layer-ups maybe a stringer or 2 and it could be solid.
As someone who did that, no it’s not a good idea and your motors will look like shit…its mostly cosmetic damage but they will loose all their surface paint
The build looks good though, but for sure rotate those motor mounts up at least 15 degrees
Name it “Sparky.”
Naw I’m just kidding around. I’ll be throwing some cloudwheels on, but I wanted to see what this would look like.
The motor mounts actually won’t rotate any further. This is one of torqueboards old designs which is asymmetric too so I had to actually flip one mount over to get enough clearance. With the cloudwheels theres about 25mm which will have to do.
That extra 20mm should do you 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
He was being facetious.
my TBDD w/ 90mm wheels be like:
The madman actually welded his trucks from sheet metal together, what the hell.
It’s gOoD N sTrONg
The motors are at serious risk of damage with 0.5cm clearance…
I suggest installing a broom in front of the truck to sweep all the debris out of the way
