A 218mm hanger would be cool, then it would match with the very popular torquboards 218 hanger. But you might as well make it 220mm.
Gives you an extra 40mm of surface to use if the current is sized to 180mm.

I guess if you need more cooling you could use some of this area? Though it might start to look like a George Foreman grill. 
I dont know if its a problem but cooler is never wrong 
I run 12S and want to unleash more power. Anyways they have good warranty on the raptor so I wouldnāt worry to much about it. I just want my hubs to last longer and Iām sure removing heat wonāt hurt them.
Hard to see, but at max deflection itās already very close to touching the baseplate.

Well the thing Hummie said (more heat = less range) already persuaded me 
My interest is still sparked, and iāll follow any updates here.
My friend Joris drove his Raptor 2 full to empty in 12 KMās a while back going full throttle against very very strong wind. Canāt imagine the hub motor temps reached. I fried an xt60 connector with very strong wind on my Ownboard. So I guess wind can be worse than hills because wind can be sustained during your whole ride. Unless your gone climb the mount everest.
Or add an angled section to increase the area a bit.

Hmm. you and @lrdesigns are def onto something. I could make a recess where it would meet the baseplate instead. Will look into if itās possible to do this. The material is there anyways so itās not like itās gonna use more alu for it.
Itās making me think if a water cooled radiator could be integrated into the truck lol.

Have you considered rounding out the edges of this hanger? Would probably improve the overall look of it. Just a thought 
There is some sacrifices that are done one the prototypes to keep machining quick and simple. When and if there is a final design I can spend more time on esthetics and toolpaths to make it look more like an production unit. It might never come to this tho as it was really only meant to be a hanger for myself 
If I can cut production time when a āfinalā design is around I can order special tooling to do the radius we want on it and optimize stuff more so it looks nicer
Hereās a Photoshpped one with rounded edges for fun.

Also from Ideal Thermistor/Temperature Sensor? | VESC Project
I believe you need Vesc-Tool firmware to read the motor temperature pin.

Haha. Worst thing is that it would prolly be effective. but I think it will limit travel on the truckā¦
Lol, I didnāt mean round out the actual design, I meant with your current design, round out the edges so itās got no sharp edges.
That takes a lot of extra machining time and is for aesthetics mostly he is making different versions as fast as he can to test what works best so heās not concerned with aesthetics yet.

When did you get the raptor 2?
Oh I didnāt order one, I just like the topic of this thread. This is a very cool hanger, looks like itās much better than the R2

Stupid question about baseplates. Is the distance between the pivot cup and the kingpin the same on all brands? Looking to replace my old āgenericā one with a surf rodz for this project
