Yep…Make sure whoever does the work setups guides for the router. A 1/8" is a small amount of material and if they try to freehand they will have a lot of trouble holding a smooth parallel edged pocket.

Yours was one of the 140mm cut out decks right? New are 145mm So I’ll still have to trim a bit to get my battery from psychotiller in there. Good to know. What do you have left to take this board out for a ride? *wait, you’re waiting on hummie hubs right.

I’m waiting too! I’ll get some info Monday. If I don’t get an email response by Tuesday I’ll call.
I’m coming to find there’s a huge difference in rolling resistance w the different bearings. When tires come I’ll write up and ask if u guys want other bearings put in for some more bucks. No cost for 2rs sealed bearings I have from China. Lotton bearings. But they’re filled w so much heat resistant grease, which isn’t really necessary and you won’t be getting to 200f anyway. Or I recently got some ntn Japanese bearings w non contact rubber seals n they roll so much easier. If only they could be serviced on the motor as taking the motor apart to get them out isn’t easy as I want to use retaining fluid to lock it up tight. Thinking might be worth leaving the seals off so can easily clean the bearings n run them with thin lube. In fact I think the lotton bearings are probably more than good enough n they’re really huge n can take the loads even if they aren’t fancy Japanese or German.
We can decide later and haven’t closed them yet. But if u want the jap bearings they’re fregin 30$ a motor for me. Shocking the variation in bearing prices. If, in the meantime, while we wait maybe a week max more, fingers crossed, you happen to find some bearings u want or any good info or prices on 6804 and 6808 bearings, I’m willing to get them and put in on them w you. Or it’s lotton w the 2rs seals n jammed w the high heat grease. I find u can remove and replace the seals on most bearings including these and that’s possible w the 6808 while on the motor but the smaller bearing u can’t access to get the seal off. …writing rambling n thinking. U could get the motors without being locked w retaining fluid n then could take it apart w a c-clip tool alone but eventually the shafts n housings will take a beating I fear n according to the rest of the world bearings should be locked down w a press fit r retaining fluid.

Thanks @Hummie,
I will go with your recommendation for best case: performance, serviceability, cost. Let me know when a decision needs to be made…

This all seems weird to me…I put my 10s5p pack into the deck Hummie sent me and it fit fine without any routing.

Hmm.
I’m gonna be ordering a battery from you soon Along with an enclosure. Would it cost extra to have the battery prebuilt with connections to 2 focboxes?
@psychotiller let me take another measurement…but the version 2 deck I am sure it did not fit that I had…

Version two fit only if all your electronics are really compact
$10 more is all
The ones coming have a 145mm diameter hole. 5mm wider than yours probably tiller.
Well here’s mine with no cutting or routing what-so-ever.
Perfect fit.

That’s all the room I had to work with. The battery fits in there great though. It’s not stuffed in like on most of those evolve upgrades lol

Interesting my has a black bottom while yours is natural in color.
its a stain not paint.
Mine is also black on the bottom, wonder if there is a variance?
tiller has one of the very first boards. it also has a slightly different shape
