I also prefer dual 6355 on a street board. Or single 6374 / 6384

Can i user my hub motors as belt motors? Is it possible?
@Yarden Yes, but.
Yes, you can use hub motors as belt motors in theory. But, you’ll essentially have to have access to a machine shop to make it work. You’d have to make your own custom motor mounts, and your own custom pulley system. And even then, with many hours and many dollars invested, they still won’t be nearly as good as actual motors designed for belt use.
Just buy regular motors if you want belt drive. Save the hubs for a toy board.

as long as your pulley is covered over tha half all is good. If you have a set screw it need to be on the shaft for sure. If no than just use red or green loctite for the pulley @ih8Darian
Hi there !
Do you have any useful tips on (where) ordering a custom-made shaft for our brushless motors??
I will be for 2 10mm to step to 8mm (outside the motor cage)
what about using your shafts and just find a workshop with a lathe machine? should be an easy to get it down to 8mm, but if you need the key way hole that could be an issue.

Yes, thanks, it could be the fastest way 
I was looking for the cheapest way to get them ^^, I will see what the shop tell me !

Regarding controlling a Vesc with Arduino (Uart):
What happens when both functions VescUartSetCurrent(2); and VescUartSetCurrentBrake(1); are active at the same time? I’m too scared to try it out so did anybody do this yet?
Reason why I’m asking is if the code must prevent it from happening.
I am laying out my board before making my enclosure, I thought up 3 compartments. 2 seperate battery compartments and 1 for the electronics. I have not seen this on the forum yet and am wondering if I’m overlooking something. 
What batteries should I get for my dual motor build.
Should I go with two of these:
But I think they need a higher c rating.
Or these batteries in the video at 2:35.
Does anyone know what those batteries are?
Thanks.
You need to use the search button, and your resources.
The youtube videos description has an amazon link for the batteries
Those lipos are plenty fine if youre a normal rider, but instead of the available ~190A(per lipo), use less to preserve the batteries health. Two will get you amazing discharge and great range. I doubt you’ll ever experience voltage sag

Dude you asked basically the same question about the deck used in a YouTube video this morning and I showed you it was already answered in the comments too.
Do yourself and everyone here a favor and please search before asking. I understand it’s a large and confusing new field but there is a plethora of information just a search away.
But the batteries in the description of the video is some other batteries than in the video.
Freewheeling makes energy that lights up Vesc and possibly much worse if go too fast w no battery

Alright, freewheeling regenerates practically zero energy. You will not charge your battery from freewheeling.

Is there any danger associated with freewheeling a powered board that is dead? (after the 3.0V cell cutoff from the BMS)
Coasting with a dead battery is fine as far as I know as long as it’s there. I have to get a blue tooth logger again but does coasting at low or high speed not charge at all? If ur in danger of blowing up ur stuff even coasting around without a battery it makes sense it must be charging a little. Damn gotta get one them loggers for iPhone going.
