@torqueboards, the new replacement clamps that I got are wonderful. They also had this 11mm circular cutouts 5mm deep on one side and 3mm deep on the other side. Since I had the whole assembly cadded up I knew exat what length of shaft to put in between them. So I lathed a plastic tube to have 11mm OD and put M6 threads on them. That with the mount spacers/motor guard made the assembly absolutely perfect.

Is that the intended use of those holes on the clamp? BTW, oneside being 3mm and other side being 5mm meant that I had to grind a nut to be of 3mm height. What’s the right way to deal with it? 1708953923

@mishrasubhransu haha :cry: you jus had to flip the clamp. It is for a support bar. We have some if you’re using our 218mm Trucks and 15mm wide belts. The support bar is on the 5mm depth side with a 3mm depth on the opposite side that way the bolt head is flushed. Email us for more info :smile:

It seems oddly stupid of me not to do that. I played around with it but I remember that the bolts would have been upside down. Anyway, that was too late in the night and I blame lack of sleep. Haha.

Wait a minute! are you telling me that you had this cheap ass pneumi thread going and you’re just getting to ride these tires? What!! =p

Haha. Yep. I did all the development and riding unpowered until now.

Nice build!!! I’m considering purchase this deck as well. How is the stability when driving at high speed?

The deck is very stiff so pretty stable in that sense. I have been riding it comfortably without grip tape because my feet feel very secured pushed against the deep drop.

Pneumatic make it very comfortable and safe. I don’t fear getting stopped by twigs, rocks or cracks anymore. That has happened a few times before at low speed.

So I rode it in rain for 2.2 miles and, sigh :(, water got in, although, not too much just water stuck on surface and droplets here and there. I suspect the majority of water entered from where the phase wire comes out, but I see a little bit of water everywhere so I am not sure. I won’t be riding it in rain until I figure the waterproofing out. If nothing I’ll just silicone clauk and smear it on all the entry points.

But handling and braking is really good. Granted I was riding at 15mph, but they just felt normal. IMG_20190124_024149 IMG_20190124_075753

The rear lift handle is soooo damn convenient. I just lift the rear and drag it around like a trolley. I have a kayak handle that @b264 kindly gave me along with a deck but felt that wouldn’t be a good fit here, plus there is no space underneath to put it.

This is almost the final look(still gotta put the pulley cover). I was thinking of making the edges of the deck black, not sure how it would look. Any ideas on that? IMG_20190125_220654 IMG_20190125_220755

Also PETG, printed without any cooling is damn tough.

the trolley idea is realy good. Since pneumatics builds tend to be heavier. With this handle you negate that issue. Good job. I will copy that^^

man rally nice work! I was wondering do you perhaps have a cad file of the deck? As you know I am working on an integrated deck with a similar shape and can be useful to compare it with mine. In case I overlooked something. Of course if it is not a problem for you :wink: Thx!

BTW, this is fine example how NESE could be cheap. You just need to source some components in a hardware store, find a friend with 3d printer or go to where its cheap to print. People dont want to put in effort and take whats on the plate. They rather complain that supplier does not do that work for them for free. So thanks for this example how nice and not overly expensive things can get done with some involvement.
