yeah im not very happy at the moment i wish i had known this before ordering the mounts if i have to send these back or exchange its going to destroy my budget

So this has been addressed earlier in this thread for the V3 DIYelectricskateboards mounts…
That was in regard to a question about he V4 with 63mm plates, I believe…I’m still not sure why they aren’t the standard 50mm hole spacing. Very curious…
You can attach @chaka’s motor…but only by two bolts … Not ideal but I’ve attached motors with only 3 bolts … You could always add an extra hole …
Below is the difference between hole patterns … Both are the same dimensions 5060
left is a 270kv motor ------------- right is @chaka’s motor

I was under the impression these motors were supposed to have 30mm spacing…

@psychotiller Ditto… me too. Technically, I’d prefer to always use 30mm circle spacing rather than the smaller size.

Who’s mount is that ^above ??
Axle hole is very small , is there even enough space for the C-clip ??
They actually fit very well! I am a real fan of these mounts! Have tried others but these don’t move around at all.

After all the heated back and forth on motor sizes, it turns into a match made in heaven.
Our motors are best suited for X pattern slotted motor mounts. Really feeling bad for anyone with compatibility issues so please send me an email and I will do my best to make things right. Our new mounts will be available soon.

I’d buy ur mounts all day long…
Shipping is the killer
That a @torqueboards welded mount for 50mm can 8mm shaft on Paris clones
It would be an issue but my clip is recessed so it’s a non issue

The only reservation I would have about the Enertion mount is the Carbon fiber plate that the motor is mounted on. I believe that aluminum would be best there. It acts to draw the heat away from the motors and allows the trucks to become part of the heatsink. I feel this is a nice benefit overall. Very cool pic from @Jeff’s thread…
The Flir infrared camera is a cool tool. You can see where the heat is at.

I came back from work today with very heavy wind resistance and up some hills. When I got home my motors were burning hot to the touch. I’m using chakas motors with Enertion’s mount.
In contrast, my GT with similar motors has only 1 motor get pretty hot, but not nearly as hot as chaka’s. I agree that using aluminum (and thermal paste!) for the mounting plate is probably a better idea.
