@torqueboards could you tell me the measures of the DDs and the matching trucks baseplate? I am going to route my hummie deck to fit them.

If they are the same as caliber 2 let me know!

Edit: I guess they are not, because the have 3 bolt positions? A diagram would be nice.

@torqueboards has anyone tested the 90kv version? I wonder how good will the torque be?

When I ordered they said the torque was about the same for both models. They mostly recommend the 75kv out of safety concerns (honestly 35mph is fast enough) not because of they think anyone would be unhappy with the torque of the 90kv, but I obviously canā€™t be sure till I get my order.

Since I am getting 2, I asked them to send me first a 90kv DD that I intend to use in a 10s5p config, but I will also try it with my other battery, a 12s4p. Depending on how they feel my second order will be either 75kv or 90kv.

Cool. Sorry I wasnā€™t more helpful.

@BruSkater Torque should be perfectly fine on 90KV. We havenā€™t extensively tested it but should be perfectly fine. I could see if we were using like 120KV then it would be a bigger difference.

75KV was testing a bit faster than 35mph+ as well. But yeah, if you got a 4WD. Try the 90KV 2WD first.
