What did you do to the motors when you took the can apart? That thing is a beast btw

Such a nice build, I really like the allround aspect behind it as well. I came to like that approach too, the board shreds the streets but is also capable for offroading. Although 78 kmph might be a bit too crazy for me :sweat_smile: :joy:

The motor’s magnets can vibrate loose over time or fall off with a big slam. Several folks had to deal with this and they’ve generally come to the conclusion that “battle hardening” them is a good idea for preventing failure.

Battle hardening consists of filling the gaps between magnets with a NON METAL epoxy. I also covered my sensor board pcb inside the motor to prevent any shorts that could happen.

Here is a much better looking motor battle hardening by the wonderful @Andy87 :

@Lee_Wright made a great video as well:

But I found the milliput to be too thick to spread nicely. It was like a hard play dough and working time was short. Something a bit thinner would have made application and clean up nicer.

I’ve never had a cracked magnet but would surely hate to deal with it.

A very wise man once told me:

If you don’t have time to do it right, you better have time to do it again.

Also what made you turn the base plates that way?

I should have measured the plates before getting the nose cut that much :sweat_smile:

Flipping them fixed it for me

Such a nice build has me thinking it’s about time I drink some of that sweet sweet mountain board coolaid. MBS Australia has been out of stock of oil slicks since the “boomer remover” started. I could always get them from Alex.

Mate told me about it…if they are getting stock I could go for a MBS deck instead of a eflux as I can do my own battery enclosure.

Wait I’m confused now. Which way are you actually ridding them? Quick picture of the bottom?

Mostly we just rob liquor stores and gambling establishments. Occasionally we have to date rich people though. Sometimes we build boards so beautiful we can pick pockets while the people stare. Whatever we have to do.

Ok. So yeah. I rock my baseplates the other way.
which keeps the board a little lower.

Someone had suggested I flip mine like you have for the haero for more clearance off the ground when trying the 110s.

But you are already on 9 inch tires right?

So why have the baseplate the way you have it?

I’m not saying either way is right… I am just wondering why you went that way.

In the top photo I posted, the baseplate hangs over the edge of the deck if I don’t reverse it.
