To speak to the VESC software, you’ll need an nrf bluetooth. I don’t know if HM-11 will work.
You sure those bearings fit that axle? They look like 8 or 10 mm ID bearings and you’ll need 12 for matrix 2 trucks.

mounting skateboard wheels on a mountain-board truck is an expensive, lonely, and somewhat pointless endeavor
just use mountainboard wheels (my preference) from the get go, or just use skateboard trucks

How are you going to hold those three wheels together in the middle? The deck is the key to success.
Version one mark one are these three pics where I designed the wheel mount version two mark one had box put on top but I used cheap esc and it blew

Turns out I have no idea what I’m doing when I comes to Bluetooth lol
Bro trust me so much when I say this:
Either get a mtb deck that has the tips angled ~30° if you want to use the matrix 2 trucks or use that deck and get skate trucks.
Ask me how I know. No, actually, please don’t.

That’s like the opposite of a flex. I think it’s called shame
