Are you saying you’re a better judge of speed than the gps he had on him? Lol

Yes.

small signal cutouts can give wrong top-speed readings.

Lol, how fast were they going then? How many lanes was the road 2 maybe 3? Idk. I doubt that road would be any less than 30mph and these guys were keeping up with cars and overtaking rather quickly. I’d say the gps is right, well at least more than what you can tell through a video

Look man you don’t even know from when to when that top speed record was taken.

and I never said It was any less than 30mph I just said It didn’t look like 40 to me.

I dont mean to be rude to whoever designed the mount but it just doesnt look that strong. How can you possibly have a strong mount when the point where it meets the trucks is X cut… :thinking:

@marcmt88 , that was the second mount that snap on me :man_shrugging:t2::man_shrugging:t2: :pensive::pensive::pensive:

Do they have crossbars? Im not sure what do with the plates. Selling 50 of something that hasn’t been tested doesn’t rest well with me. I might make 15 sets or so and see what people say.

Evolve GT are not precision machined trucks, I am positive that the mounting face is not true. Over-torqueing the mounting bolts might result in deforming or cracking the mount.

Please put a lock washer between truck mounting face and motor mount. :point_down:

Or just make mounts from thicker metal…

@marcmt88

You might not want to remove that material from the mount. Saving a few grams isn’t really a good idea here. Besides, it’s an extra operation. Just leave it solid.

Look where that broke - right at the weakest part where all the material was machined away.

You need to add a crossbar or two to prevent to motor from torquing out that mount, esp with peeps that over-tighten their belts.

That design was intended for 10mm thick mount plates, not 6mm
