Yeah, the motors are tight but it works. Iāve had to walk that line a few times with 6374s on TKPās.

Beat you on that. But @mmaner liked his name instead. 
Awesome build Mike! Me too I like to see those huge motors more upwards than horizontal. Mount covers will be standard on @moonās mounts which are becoming Esk8 quality build among us.

I may actually change the name, I just need to figure out if I like yours (Drogo) or (@rojitor) Dracarys 
Maybe a poll is call for.
Iām going to be switching out the motor plates/cover for aluminum before long. I may increase the angle then but I donāt think it will do any good as the cover section for the wheel gear is circular, and is the pivot point of the axle, so all that would increase is the motor height which is really high now.

Poll time, thinking about changing the name of this build. Iāve had some great suggestions.
- Drogo
- Dracarys

ā¦jeā¦jeā¦ Both are the same name. Drogon is the name queen Daenerys gave his main dragon. But when she speaks the Valerian language, the same name is spoken: Drakarys. Is all the Game of Thrones universe.

I dig it, but Dracarys is also the command to breath fire.

Yes, that too. Seems when she rides Drogon (or Drakarys) she uses Valyrian as the command language.

Thereās a couple of different pronunciationsā¦
In english (UK/US) its mostly dru-kIna, the further east you go it gets closer to dra-kI-ina. EIther one is cool.
I hadnāt noticed the motor gap until now. Does SR make an even longer TKP hanger, or is this the limit?

The largest Surf Rodz TKP hanger is 177mm, which these are. Thereās plenty of space between the motors though, a whole 2.5mm to be exact :).

Well, yeah, but I was dreaming of using the new Maytech 6880 motors just because of the big bearing they use. I donāt ever want my motor can to get loose if I can help it

Are the clamps on the edge?
Mike, it is a Greek word.
There are no different pronunciations. There is the correct pronunciation and there are wrong pronunciations.

No, they could move out a bit, but these motor mounts (@psychotiller RIPBA) are made so that one of grub screws slots into the grub screw slot on the hanger. It essentially makes it bullet proof and perfectly aligned. I could maybe get a couple of millimeters but I am not sure its worth it.

Arenāt all words in the english lexicon greek words to some degree? There are different pronunciations even with the same country for some words.
I just donāt see the world as strictly black and white, I realize there are rules to language but they are broken more than they are followed and the result is the accepted usage so I guess we just have to disagree on this one, plus I believe the chinese would disagree with you :).
