It was my firs “300$” longboard :slight_smile: Then did not want spand a lot of money, but I had a great desire to make a electric longoard. This motor mount hold very nice - ~250km without problems. To prevent slipping I used a little bit of hot glue. But for more stability I recommend to use 2 steel brackets(2mm thick) together.

Now I build my second board with VESC, 18650 cells and other nice stuff. And I hope I get my VESC untill end of June because the summer in Saint Petersburg is very short :slight_smile:

Has anyone else tried brazing as an alternative to welding the mount on? I’m considering trying it out.

Someone tried it out on endlesspshere, but it didn’t last very long due to the lack of strength.

Also here’s a link for a bracket that may work: http://www.homedepot.com/p/Simpson-Strong-Tie-12-Gauge-Angle-A24/100375162
