I got this one:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06XHCHTS8/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o09_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1_
Iâm still waiting on the bearings and spring retainers which I didnât get on my first order, itâs been a month and a half since I placed the order for the street carver and 15 days since Ted told me he had shipped the pending parts to Lima PerĂș, so Iâm still waiting to get them, as waiting even more was not an option I had to take some expensive decisions:
- Purchased 8 x R6ZZ bearings US$ 45
- Ordered a fabrication of 8 springs retainers from a local workshop US$ 125
- Ordered a fabrication for 4 bearing spacers US$ 40
This was for my street MBS wheels, so I have yet to try the board with the Supestars hubs on pneumatic tires because I donât have the bearings here yet
Hi Alan, Ted shipped you the stuff ages ago. I will check for you again.

He already told me he had shipped the parts to Lima Peru but used a service with no tracking number, unfortunately this service usually takes 2 months to get here.
Shipped 23. of May. Two months sounds extreme.

Looking alien with those wire covers.

Yeah thought the same, some kind of Alien stuff 
IMO a little to big, like meshguard more, but rest of build is very nice BRO
Tomorrow Iâll change the wire covers for a wider ones in order to use only one and will try to hide them a little bit more. But I do like the predator look.
Iâm having issues with the motor mounts moving a lot, too much torque maybe.
Iâm thinking about mounting a motor mount support to attach them together, keep the mounts aligned, and protect them from stones and chips.
@idea would you be able to work on Kalyâs motor mounts?
I do not know the dimensions of this motor Mount. In addition, their construction makes it difficult to install crossbars. Maybe Kali can help you?
Iâm finding with those mounts I really, really had to wrench down on the set screw and in a certain pattern to get them to stay put. I even broke a bit tighteningâŠErnesto knows the pattern.
I think you are right about a crossbar though helping to keep them straight. I donât have my belts crazy tight either. One belt is perfectly lined up on pulley but the other has an over hang of about 1mm that I canât tweak out. Close enough for me though.
If you want them to stay put permanently use 2 part epoxy

@Landshark, Iâm thinking about making a hole on the truck and adjust the screws until they go all the way in, use locktite and forget about the misalignment.
@will_manners Epoxy is not an option they eventualy need to come off
I think one of the problems with the misalignment he was telling me is the fact one side of the hangar isnât as square as the other. So I have one side that will square up pretty good but the other I can never get a right angle with.
I see you live in Lima, my wifeâs side of the family live in La Molina and Cieneguilla. If you want the best beer in Peru try Cerveza Magdalena, its my brother in laws brewery, haha, so I support them 100%

Itâs Saturday, beer sounds like a plan!

The hangers are forged and polished. This production method doesnât allow super high precision, but therefore super high strength. In consequence the hangers are not 100% square. @Nowind (Jens) ads CNCed surfaces for extra precision.
Frank
That sounds like a complicated plan, almost impossible to accomplish in my town.
Would drilling a 3mm hole in the hanger in order to fit the motor mount locking bolt and keep it from moving increase the fragility of the hanger?
This is hands down the coolest E-board I have ever seen, just checked out your youtube videos, I am looking into building my first and you have inspired me.

3mm is ZERO Problem! Do you want to drill all the way through?
