I see, i’ll try it out and see if it works. Thank you Nico! Another question, i’m using the nano-x remote and the acceleration and braking is quite strong, more evidently on braking. It’s so hard that i had to test it out while sitting on my board, even with 25% each on the throttle curve. Is there another way to make it smoother via the VESC program?
Just reduce the motor max amps to have less torque.

Dial the braking current down to about 20A, see how it feels.
How are those Motors working out for you? I’m just starting a dual build.
My motor settings are at 20a i think haha.
Well one thing’s for sure, these are really strong. I’ve yet to bring it out for a proper ride yet so i can’t give a verdict. Good thing about @torqueboards motors is that it comes with a slot for the keyway, and with sensor wires.
It’s looking nice, I am curious to see the final result. One question, what did you use to paint the metal. It looks really nice and I am think to do the same on same part of my board. Thx!
Edit: part of my sentence got deleted before post it.
I used this paint from Rustoleum. The final surface more of a semi gloss actually. What i did to get the hammered look is to spray one coat normally, let it dry for a couple hours, and then spray one light coat about two feet away. The light mist makes the hammered surface. But you can skip that if you just want it black.

Cool thx! Did you use a primer first?
Nope, i sprayed this right on the bare aluminum. I did wipe it down with a solvent to get rid of any possible oil or dust.

Got it thx!
I need to do this with mines. Yesterday my bearing broke from the idle
My motor settings are at 20a i think haha.
Hmm, well I am running 4" rubber tires, so maybe 10A?
Yep i set it to 10A last night. It feels softer when testing it at home, sitting down on the board 
I’ll go for a test ride later today, i’ll let you all know how it goes!
Apparently i can’t get one of the motors to run sensored. When running a motor detection for one of them, as usual it will disconnect from the computer. I switched VESCS and the same thing happened. So i’m certain it’s the motor that is causing it, not the VESC. And this occurs when i have the sensor wires plugged in. When i remove the sensor wire, it can be connected to the computer again. Does anyone have a similar problem like this on TB motors?
is i plugged into the right port? pics plz
I have better luck on FOC Sensored vs anything else.
what are the wire covers called you use covering your motor phase wires? nice build
Update after a first proper test ride
I rode on a 15km route, and my battery was at 55% after all that. I’m impressed with the range. I wasn’t able to get it to run sensored, but thanks to the idler motor mounts i got from @marcmt88, the belts were looser and hence i was able to kick push it easily. My threaded inserts have not arrived yet so i taped the enclosure to the board three layers, three times.
I set the braking power to be -10A, and turns out it is a little weak after all. It was able to brake decently but it doesn’t come to a complete stop, i had to hop off or stop the board with my front foot. I will set the braking power to -20A and try it out again.

One issue after another haha. After getting the settings done for everything, the remote can’t seem to sync up with the board.
I’m using Enertion’s Nano-x and usually when i turn it on, the green light will be solid. This time, it blinks twice. Nothing showed up when i searched around the forums and the web so i’m asking if anyone knows what happens or how to solve it.
It goes in the connector that under the red cable
