We’re talking my dual build right? I don’t remember exactly how short but you can just eyeball it when you put everything inside. Here’s what it looks like inside of my dual.
Yeah, on a dual build. I would just buy that exact connector and do what you did, but it’s out of stock I can’t find any like it. All the others are really short ( and look kinda crappy) so I just didn’t want to get one of those and have it come up short. It’s harder to lengthen the cable than shorten it I imagine

It’s a really fun deck, looks like a potato chip but there’s nothing else in it’s class with that length and wheelbase and I’ve looked extensively for mini cruiser boards. @siggs3000 and @torqueboards have one as well.
@RunPlayBack Do you notice better acceleration with the 90mm wheels vs the original 97mm from carvon?
I has to be one of the best decks for this sort of thing. It has the wheelbase of a way bigger board but is compact enough to be easy to carry and stash. The concavity is the only thing to keep in mind. It’s intense but makes riding a dream.
I have 97mm on my dual. The single was 90mm that I replaced with the 90mm Abecs. When I get the 90mm Abecs on the dual I’ll report back. I’m assuming yes? The 97mm are pretty massive.
I can’t help thinking that if they put a kicktail on there, it would be the best mini cruiser eboard deck available. FYI I ended up buying some generic black nose and tail guards. I’ll update again if they fit.

Of course the Spud is sold out everywhere. Probably due to the awesome build done by @RunPlayBack. Everyone had to buy a potato chip.

I would hit up Scott at Muirskate and ask about the Spud. I know he’s gotten a few requests off my build article, pretty sure he can get one in stock if you ask.

How does the Carvon fair on startup for a standstill? Is it pretty smooth or a bit jerky till you get going?
You have to kick push to get the smoothest startup. Personally, I don’t like standing with two feet planted on startup, kicking gives me a few seconds to find my balance and posture while I throttle up. I ride a lot in the city and the last thing I want to do is lose my balance in a busy intersection. If you know how to skate it feels very natural.

Thanks for the info! I was wondering how the motor wheels attach to the Carvon motor hubs. I’m guessing you need to adapt the wheel somehow to make it work. Is this doable yourself? or would you have to ask Carvon for a custom wheel?
Pics of the inside of the motor wheel?
Disregard that. I’ve been talking with Carvon and figured it out. I’m thinking about doing a Enertion deck + battery + 2 VESC + Carvon Dual Hub + Nyoko Karma myself. Carvon mentioned something about how Enertion’s space cell was limiting top speed. Any input on this? Whats your top speed?
My theory is that the Bat Max 30A continuous may not be unleashing it’s full potential. I have to do a top speed test in BLDC soon. Right now I have it on FOC just to practice maneuvers and carving. I’ll try to do one next week.
I have a 7s2p pack of 26650’s with a BMS limiting to 20 amp continuous and it kills me in that it cuts out when I try to gun it …mind you I’m a solid 100kg geared up. I’m running a single r-spec 6355 and 12 to 36 teeth pully. Im going to be having a pack built now with a BMS with 35 A max con. Hoping it will give me some more ummmph and let me run a dual set up. I don’t think 30 continuous would limit that much…I’ve hit 33 km/hr on flat with my 20A limit
I just ordered a set of abec 11 wheels for mine. Can’t wait to try them out!
Definitely, the 30A continuous is no slouch and my dual Carvon hubs + Space Cell are very zippy. The top speed coasting on flats are great because of the lack of drag. I think hubs, unlike a belt drive require a little more continuous current. I’m just speculating here because I haven’t run any tests.
You’ll love em. I’d also recommend soft bushings (barrel + cone) on the front to get that fun carving going. I know hubs aren’t for everyone but one thing that I’ve noticed is that with the smooth acceleration/deceleration and lack of drag, you can really practice interesting maneuvers and style. I think it’s why my skater friends like the feel of the hubs, it’s not just about massive torque to go up a hill. We’re just trying to figure out other ways to ride this thing together.
I like soft bushings for carving @ low speed but I need hard ones when going over 25 mph. I like double barrel. You know you can remove the stock bolts easily on those trucks and replace them with longer ones. I did that on mine.
