Just put my MTB together, any advice?

Very nice.
I’m curious as to what the encoder does? Been hearing the word being thrown around but didn’t really look to much into it

I just asked the same question so I’ll forward the answer along:
It’s like a much more precise hall sensor.

Have you looked into pulleys for the trispokes? The second hand board I have has trispokes and my vision for it involves y The biggest tires I can find. I’ve got a cad model I’ll be printing soon but any advice would be appreciated

As @venom121212 said it’s a replacement for your hall sensors. You place a magnet on your motor shaft and in a defined distance a magnetic sensor pcb is placed. The sensor than can very precisely detect the exact position of your motor. Boosted use a similar encoder on there boards.
There is not much information about it in here, but you could have a look here
Or here
If you interested in reading about it @Linny

That’s basically what I tell myself and others, and helps me justify putting all my safety gear on for each ride. I remind myself that these vehicles are hand built DIY experimental beasts and I’m essentially a test pilot on every ride, so I’d better be ready for something to go wrong and be able to crash land safely. And since I’m constantly changing, tweaking, fixing something almost everytime, almost every ride is a test ride of a new configuration, and I am in fact, a test pilot.

I have some 65 tooth aluminum pulleys that I got from Aliexpress. They call them scooter pulleys, but they were actually first sold to me by @kaly way back in the day. I’ll take some pics and find a link for you after work.

Those? I’d still really appreciate any pics of how you Mounted them. Thanks a bunch!

Those are the ones. I’ll post up some pics of them mounted tonight.

Pretty basic mounting. Had to drill 3 holes (I also drilled a 4 hole pattern for an older hub) and use longer bolts and an extra set of nuts to bolt the hub and pulley together. I used nuts in the hub to mount the two halves together first, then slide the pulley over the bolts and use the second set of nuts to hold the pulley on. The only important part is getting the pulley centered over the hub before drilling the holes. I can’t remember exactly how I did this, but it involved using bearings, 12mm bolt/nut, and the center pulley hole to align everything, then drilling through the hub mounting holes into the pulley.

Thanks! Looks really straight forward. Ill update with my progress.
I have to say, one of my motor has a defective sensor. So I just have no sensor in dual6374 setup and for me there is a small difference. When you start from a standstill, you just have to accelerate with a little feeling and it works flawlessly. A bit like a clutch. I’m also a bit worried about sensors that cause VESC problems caused by dirt, water, and what not gets into the motors after time. But that may not be 100% true, but over time I got that feeling.
If you are able to be your “own” sensor, you can do without it, but with sensors it’s also fun 
@Andy87 also is working on something similar but that will still need time I assume

You need bigger wheels! 9" pneumatics will do.
