What do you mean?
@Winfly how do you find the lofty direct drive motors, are they worth investing in over the exway riot or Hub motors?
Im keen to Swap them on to this board with the double trucks.
How well do they handle the torque Compared to a conventional setup gear and pulley system like with the riot.
Tempted to sell the riot pack and install lofty direct drive.

they are strong in torque and give you full urethane wheel options. brakes are strong and ideal to use with VESC idk about the 12S hobbywing esc in the exway. keep in mind that it’s DKP so very carvy and will be very unstable at high speed. also you will need big wheels like 107, 110 in order for the motors to not always bottom out. I’m riding them with 97 and hitting shit all the time. its kinda annoying when you loose traction. if you have smooth pavement then that’s a non-issue.
A bit of fine sanding and the seal With a coat of carbon on the bottom and she’ll be smooth and silky in no time.
Ultimate sleeper!

I remember Acton did this with there Kickstarter boards, but they eventually discontinued because the cutout thru the board wasn’t stable.
@snowriderau Be careful because it does seem like it can definitely could snap in half. You should have just add layers of fiberglass on top and made the job easier.
I don’t see any way to restore the structural integrity, but I applaud the commitment.
