I started building this a while ago, inspired by 'humbleboatRC' or whoever that guy was... he built a 4wd mountainboard. I had originally intended to build on of these, but decided to start with bikes, and then forgot about these for a while. well after seeing some youtube vids recently, its rekindled my desires for one of these. just looks like way too much fun....

given the shape of my trucks, im basically going to bolt straigt to 'em... ive cut and shaped some small aluminium 'plugs' that I'll be threading for some 8mm bolts. this 'base plate' will have the 2 controllers mounted directly to it, so it can act as a heat sink.
one motor mounted, one to go...

I'm just using normal bike sprockets. I bought a couple of 8sp clusters on sale, so I 'll be breaking them apart to use the sprockets individually. the motors are only 170kv, and at this stage with a 34:11 reduction and 5s it'll probably be a tad slow, though it should make life easy for the electronics. I'll mess around with that once its running. Thats one advantage of using bike sprockets though... I can change sprocket size in about 5 minutes!
