[jordanwu97]

Hi all,
Just publishing my first build.
Pictures are here:

Parts:
@torque's deck, truck, wheels, hardware
@torque's Motor mount, motor, ESC, R/C
@onloop's SPACE CELL

I want to thank @torqueboard and @cdn for helping me troubleshoot earlier, and @cmatson for the space cell dissection.

Remaining problem:
Foot numbing vibration and loud sound at > 10 mph. I already ordered some otang kegels to try out.
Board rides quite high. Added a bunch of dampeners because of the vibration, might take them off if the kegels fix the vibration.

Nice job with the space cell dissection!

I think the dampeners will help a lot- looking forward to seeing how it turns out!

Hi
Regarding the vibrations, I had a set of ABEC Flywheels 83mm, Durometer 81A. With these wheels and the state of British pavements gave quite a jittery ride.
I have since changed to 97mm wheels (ABEC clones) with 78A Durometer and this has significantly reduced vibrations and made for a much smoother ride.
Not all down to the 97mm either as I have a second board with ABEC clones with 83mm wheels and this to is much smoother.
Try softer wheels and you may be able to use very low profile dampers.
Cheers

How do you like the clones, do you have a link?

Just look on ebay for "97mm abec" or "97mm blank/clone". Here's the cheapest i found - <$25 shipped: (Only the lime ones are 17.99 plus 6.99 shipping - other colors are 19.99ea)

I don't see the duro though...

I have some of the 83mm clones on GF's board, and they work fine for me.

@ Randyc1

Just what sl33py said.
I got mine through Ebay as well.
Richard at Alien Drive has an adapter for these clones as well, fits perfectly.

Cheers
