Speaking of new parts, the pshyco mounts came in today and they’re miles better than the boardnamics ones since I don’t have to fiddle with 20,000 nuts when tightening them down. Smaller and shorter too! Luckily I got some 275 mil belts as well but they’re 15 mil wide not 12. Still loose enough that there hopefully won’t be too much drag.

Tillers site is down. Was gonna take a look at these
I’m not sure what he still has available.
I’ve had mine for a while.
He pulled the site down so he could focus on paying people back money he owes.
I would try contacting him on social media to see if he has any available.

Nice one dude.
What size shoulder bolts are those? They look like they stick out pretty far. I wanna do a similar setup, but can’t decide between 100mm hanger or the 127…
Also, do the surfrodz kits and hangers come with shoulder bolts or do you need to buy seperately?
100mm is regular 8mm axles, and I imagine you’d have a hard time getting even one motor mounted to it. 127mm comes with 10mm shoulder bolts, endless possibilities… Although I haven’t looked to see if step-down shoulders bolts are readily available… would be nice to run regular 8mm bearings.
The kits come w/ shoulder bolts, the hangers do not.

These are the 80mm ones. I could easily have gotten away with 60mm ones.
Why would the 100mm be hard to mount to?
I plan on using mounts like this
And I would only be mounting one motor per truck.

Definitely want to see that!
With fixed, short axles, the pulley will have to overhang the hanger, plus the width of the motor mount. I don’t know how much room is left on the hanger after the bushing mount is attached.
Do those mounts work w/ fixed axles? The way I see it, there’s no room left for pulleys.

Thats why i want the smallest hanger possible so I can use a longer shoulder bolt if necessary. You can see the mount fitted here.
Edit: i don’t see any reason why it can’t be used with a fixed axle
I’m making an assumption here that the 8mm axle TKP trucks aren’t removable.

Ahh you are possibly right. On the website the 100mm hanger shows a fixed axle where the 127 shows just the hanger.
This may have made up my mind!
