Unfortunately, 10 mm riser will not be enough for that deck together with pneumatic tires, I guess; however, I will have to check more precisely again.
You’re not going to get pneumatics working on a topmount deck like the tesseract. You need a deck with cutaways for the wheels.

ah no with pneumatic you need to do something like @Linny did it with his spud or potato declk. You need way wider trucks and tall. I think you better change deck or drive. Plus DD with pneumatic will suck a lot in torque.

And current TB DDs are not recommended for AT wheels anyway. Pretty sure that came from Dexter himself.

yeh i owuld bet that as well. You need a way lower KV but moreover bigger stator to sustain torque with 6inch tyres. OR probably a 4wd will do the trick as well.
Did anybody of you guys try this https://www.janux-esk8.com/product-page/janux-quattro-4-25-hubs-for-tbdd-or-elofty with the TB or elofty DD and 6 or 8 inch wheels?
yes and as we already said it the torque is disappoiting. Is not a problem of the DD. They are powerfull but not made for 6 inch wheels. 8 even worse.

I have those, and asked Dexter from Torqueboards. He told me that it won’t work well.
Anyway, I’ll try it on January and post my impressions here, but I don’t really have any expectatives.

That setup is very similiar, if not identical, to what I had in mind.
Thanks a lot for the discussion, it has been very helpful for me (wanted to say this earlier, but the number of posts for me per day was limited). So far, and since this is my first build, I have learned that the Cantellated Tesseract is not the right deck for all terrain wheels and neither is TB’s current direct drive, since it does not provide enough torque for 6 or 8 inch pneumatic wheels.
But what about Subsonic’s “Century 36” (https://www.subsonicskateboards.com/collections/custom/products/custom-century-36) or “Ruse 39” (https://www.subsonicskateboards.com/collections/custom/products/custom-ruse-39); do you think these boards are at least compatible with AT wheels?
Basically, I want to build something light that can also go uphill offroad. I have a Trampa MTB with a spur gear drive which weighs about 20 kg and while this board is unparalled in its power it very limited in its use, e.g. it is too heavy to carry up many stairs at work, it does not turn very well (large radius) etc.

There is a guy selling subsonic setup on ebay in the UK. I really want it but for some reason he raised the price by £50 and its pick up only
