Do you only speak Russsian or can you speak Ukrainian too? (asking bc family is from Ukraine and I was forced to learn both) 
I speak Russian, German and little bit English. I have never learned Ukrainian, but it is similar to Russian. And i suppose it to be offtop, so if somebody wants to learn more about bears, matreshkas and balalaikas, feel free to PM me

WOW/ That blew my mind. That looks like the easiest most cost effective thing I could do.
Hi guys, just wanted to share a motor mount I built a few months ago with a very similar technic (not very good looking but cheap, really easy to make and working)
(Sorry, I can only upload one picture because I am new here)

@Mobutusan this is my first build and it has been working for 3 months now… Yes, its a personal touch I added. I can connect my phone to the speaker over Bluetooth (I use it mainly when not riding the board)

Hi, what is the thickness of the plate and what kind of material is it ?
Thickness is only 3mm I’m bot sure about the material it is. I just found it in my garage It tends to bend a little bit, that’s why I added the small threaded shaft you can barely see behind the motor mount
I’m trying to figure out how you mounted it to the trucks? Could you post a pic of that or explain?
The way I managed to mount it a bit specific because my trucks were not round and I used this “weird” shape in order to “clip” my custom made mount Actually A threaded shaft with bolts is fixing the mount and the truck reinforcement is preventing it from moving It’s hard to explain… Ask me if it’s still unclear for you…

Thanks, I did not notice the shaft. That is a clever way to stiffen up the main bracket. I am building mine of 6mm S355 steel.

So essentially it is only connected to the trucks with that one bolt?
Yes that was not my first plan but it turned out to be enough…
Cool!
Thanks a lot!
Hey! I’m trying to figure out how to mount my motor (first build). I’m being frugal here so im planning on making mine. How thick does it have to be? also are the holes where the screws go in threaded? thanks!
awesome!

How is that press fit working for you? That looks really nice and simple, but how do you get it right where you want it without it moving out of place?
yeah. im curious about the press fit. and how it holds up to sk8 vibrations
Let me nagg @MrEpiquad its his design :P, we share the same mancave. The mount is extremely simple and even lower cost making it a viable option to produce in larger numbers (lasercutting is cheap, we don’t bother about painting it). We did this as an experiment and it works perfect so far.
We have the benefit that aluminium is soft and it will form around its host (the truck). We abused it quite badly and it still holds up. We used very high pressure (from a hydraulic bearing press) to mount the mount, we are quite sure it will never come loose. The caliber trucks are conical so perfect for press fitting.
