Horrible angle to see the motor clearance. Put it on the ground (our countertop or table) and take a pic from the side.
But no, it doesn’t look right. It should be as close to the bottom of the deck without touching as you turn fully both directions - usually a finger width suffices for me unless super loose trucks.
Wh do you have it mounted behind the truck instead of in front?
You’re kicking up a lot of rocks/sand/gravel and it’s hitting your motors. This is pretty normal but you can angle your motor a little higher to try to avoid this. I find that keep the motors in between the wheels instead of behind the rear wheels does a better job of keep them in good condition.
There is no specific reason for mounting it there, I just tried to see if it changes anything but it didn’t… Before It was in front of the rear wheel.
I will add a better photo tonight when I am at home!
I would recommend it in front of the truck. Mainly to be able to use your kick tail! And it will avoid a lot more debris being thrown at it by the wheels like @Jinra mentioned.
I would adjust it so it’s about 10mm from touching the bottom of the deck. Don’t tighten it fully - and get on and see if turning fully one side to the other - does it touch? If not i might move it closer until it does touch just at the hardest lean - then move it back a smidge. As tight as you can have it to the deck the better IMO.
It does look like a short wheelbase setup - but you can definitely fit it with the ESC moved forward a little to get the motor in front of the truck.
i’ve tried with the mount inward and outboard but with the some angle risers I get better clearance outboard.
Its a pintail with 6374, angle the motor up so there is about 3-4 mm between the motor can and baseplate nub thing.
Saul: I like the them but to be fair they are the only skateboard wheels I have ever tried on a electric skateboard… Cannot really compare with anything else.
