I am planning a new build and I am keen to use dual 6374 motors. I really want to use genuine skate trucks such as caliber though!
I have seen people discuss dual diagonal and dual forward / rear facing.
I haven’t seen any discussion on mounting both forward facing - but one on a short mount, the other on a longer mount to give adequate room for both motors - guess it could be called forward facing dual staggered rear mount? I suppose this is only limited by mount stability (flexibility) for a longer mount, and the implications on belt length (which could probably be overcome with idlers??).
Are there any other implications? may be more susceptible to hitting speed bumps etc.
I was hoping my board will still have a small, but functional kicktail so I can kick a tight turn in if required or drop down a curb and was worried if i had a motor out the back it would get knocked around.
This is always an option though.
Does anyone have experience with backwards facing motors? Do they get banged about?
Have you considered surfrodz rkp 200’s and psychotiller mounts? Or the tkp 177’s. They should both work for 6374 motors side by side. They are genuine and the mounts are strong. When the mount is tight it is straight. No ifs, and or buts.
