I have all of it planned out and just want to get some input if this is will all work together and be a pretty good system. I also have a few questions.
First of all, Will those pulleys fit the polyurethane 97mm wheels? I don’t know If those bolts will work for that pattern? Secondly, how fast, how much torque, and what kind of range do you think this will have? I want speed and torque and range. Do all the parts fit together? Also, will the dual 6374 motors fit on the caliper II trucks? I originally thought no, but then I saw a picture of someone who seemed to have done it.
I’ve been spending countless hours putting this together. In my head it should all work fine, but I would love another opinion. Right now, the entire thing will cost me ~$1320 and I don’t want to go any higher.
I’m not too worried about weight. Lastly, when looking at the 218mm trucks, it suggests a 15mm belt. Is the required, or can I stick with the 12mm? 15mm is surprisingly more expensive.
Do you think I’ll have enough clearance with the drop through deck? I’m considering not getting one but I can’t find a good flex deck for cheap that’s not drop through.
Your motors will be fine with a drop through deck, just add some risers. However the Torqueboards battery isn’t that flexy I don’t think, so maybe find a less flexible deck. Reverse motors also look really cool, you should check them out here
You can get away dual 6380’s on the Caliber truck, if you outside mount the motors like I have done. Not a common configuration, but it has worked well for me.
You would only need to add the appropriate size stand offs too the TB mounts. The overall added width is sometimes annoying if you are carrying/transporting the board. But it facilitates the drop through deck, no clearance issues ever.
