63mm motors with 72mm wheels. I’m preetty sure 0.5cm of motor clearance is fine.
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

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

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

Aww it’s so cute!! Don’t expect much from her though
How big are those wheels and where did you get them? A friend of mine wanted an electric penny board
stole it from a board called the urban mini v2. picked it up local for $50 but the battery fried itself on first charge (7s with a 6s bms ???)

Some might use the B- current carrying line for the B- balance line, so it’s probably still 7s
Looking at the PCB, pretty sure it wasnt but im not the sharpest tool in the shed
