Motor Mount Paris Truck Round Compatible 63mm Black Kit DIY Electric Skateboard [Premium] V3

EDIT - 11.09.2019: Lost communication with the seller last summer (for the record this was my fault, apparently I did not have the settings in my account set up properly), after finally getting a hold of his contact info we were able to communicate and hands down, Francisco is one of the most legit sellers I have ever met, no BS. Not just on amazon, but also my experiences with ebay, DHgate, alibaba, business procurement in the work place, etc...Not because he addressed pretty much every critique laid out in my first review with his revised product, in my defense I honestly did my best to offer CONSTRUCTIVE criticism, something I see only about half the time in reviews (keep in mind folks if your review is only criticism with nothing to reasonably back it up than you review is exactly that & no credit earned) I well admit however, good as my writing technique is (others' feedback, not a high opinion of myself) which judging by his ACTIONS first, followed by his REPLY after, he did exactly that."I don't often give 5 stars for products that are not flawless the first go round, but when I do it's because the way that the seller handled the response could not have been more on point."WordNow that I have set the record straight, what exactly did he do? The answer more simple than you might think. The change is in the alloy used. Where virtually 90-95% of the original complaints were remedied by using a stronger harder alloy, still aluminum I think - you'd have to post a question directly to him, I have an idea since he told me but I can't remember right off hand. I can tell you that it is solid as F- though! The clamp; when tightening down, the new one & the way that the metal bends, or rather does NOT bend, you can tell immediately that something is different, even if you can't identify it - It takes a considerable amount of torque to turn the bolt, almost to the point it won't. My hand was quite sore from trying to rotate the allen wrench. The teeth; the teeth that used to compress like it were butter being pressed on by a hot knife now do not deform (I thought that I noticed a slight alteration of a tooth but it was the light) AT ALL.Of all my gripes of the original review the harshest was easily if the product was worth the money paid. I stand by my original statement - regarding the old alloy, It's crap. But what replaced it is some kind of aerospace/outer space science fiction crazy alien metal s**t that takes punishment unlike I have ever seen in a mount. No hairline cracks like before, no twists in alignment, no clamp/arm bolt holes growing larger as heavy vibrations take its considerable toll as [the 0.5" gaps] in sidewalk slab after sidewalk slab (here in Phoenix while still very destructive to e-boards traveling at their intended designed high speeds from even the most refined construction techniques our sidewalks are LIGHT-YEARS beyond ANYTHING you will find in any other of the top 10 most populous US cities with the ONLY exception possibly being the Venice/Santa Monica/LA Boardwalk along the Pacific ocean) slowly destroys the integrity of the metal through compression/decompression stress moments through the massive torque created from the multiplication factor between pivot and distance from fulcrum and multiplication factor induced from the now much higher force exerted downward from the relative mass of the motors.But that's all the engineering background behind it. Dismissing all the fancy words and lengthy discussion what to take away from this is that the product now kicks ass and if you are thinking the price is too high or out of reach, the truth is the price is probably not high enough. Take this with a grain of salt but my advice is to buy what you need now before this is noticed by the mainstream and he has difficulty keeping them in stock. Ironically, as counter-intuitive as this may sound, I don't want you to take my word for it, if I wanted to schmooze and kiss ass I would have written over my original review entirely but that would be a discredit to the sellers efforts of how he followed basic product development evolution and how far he has come. I actually encourage you to go elsewhere and buy another motor mount. Sure there are a couple, maybe few mounts that may come close (high dollar name brands like Trampa come to mind) and though I highly doubt it, lets say for arguments sake that one exceeds it. IF ever it should develop a condition that needs addressing , and this I guarantee through personal experience on both side of the fence. You WILL NOT get the level of response-reaction-resolution from ANYONE in the Esk8 biz that like you will here. I say this with as much confidence as the sun will rise and set tomorrowThe brutal truth is I do not know Francisco in any way other than this transaction. He may be a phd mechanical engineer from Duke or a South Central LA high school dropout for all I know (no offense intended my man). But as a chemical process engineer as well as product developer myself, I know when a person is following the right path to a better product or isn't, and in some ways, after communicating via email and these posts, I have, much to my ego's chagrin, a feeling that he is pulled naturally through this process through instinct where as I had to be taught it. As such, he didn't earn this 5 star rating so much as he owned and then commanded it..Well done Francisco. The path to success will not be easy, then again it never is. But stick to your morals and those who go and buy this product elsewhere WILL be back sooner or later cursing themselves for not taking the advice of That Guy who talked too much...whatever. My suggestion, take it or leave it. I don't really care much which. But one final time I'll say it, or offer piece of advice if you prefer, depends on how far you read into this:Pay now or pay layer, but if you want to participate and you are a DIYer and building from ground up, you WILL pay (might as well learn from someone else's mistake) at some point. Be it left stranded somewhere with no way to correct the problem or more straight forward in a different environment entirely - one way or another you WILL pay.Nevertheless, and independent of your personal feeling of what has been said just now. I wish you all the best in your belt driven custom builds.EDIT - 07.12.19: Much to my complete surprise, after writing my original review the seller took the liberty of issuing a refund for a portion of the mounts, this was done totally on the sellers own initiative - I did not ask for it. Not only that, I also received not long after that, four brand new mount arms (no clamps) and a message: Francisco explained that he was aware of the mounts being a little weak so he has re-designed the mount with stronger aluminum alloy (hence the increase in price, or so it was explained to me), same shape and dimensions but new metal that is supposedly stronger. I guess we'll be giving this a shot and seeing how it performs. I'd give more than 5 stars for the way the seller addressed the issue, again he did this of his own accord, so props. As far as product review goes - once I have some miles on them I'll revisit this and update on how the new mounts performed...EDIT - 07.01.2019: I noticed that the price has gone up on these pieces of garbage, I see they are $37 now. Seriously, If you read this review and still buy the mounts you WILL regret it (and it won't take long to discover this either).I'd say that if it were only one mount that failed then there is argument for it being simply one bad mount I happened to get, after all manufacturing processes are not absolutely perfect and every once in a while you come across a lemon, however:Purchased four of these mounts, $120 wasted at first. Not only are these mounts severely over priced, they are garbage. Absolute garbage. I'd say the only positive thing about them is that they are made of lightweight aluminum, but that hardly does you any good if they don't work properly. First, upon installation when trying to cinch these down tightly the parts where the jagged edges of the clamp are so soft that they flatten out as you tighten them. Getting the clamp as tight as you can to prevent slippage ensures you can never use it again should it slip or come off in the future - and I can assure you, even after installing three set screws (drilled and tapped longways w Loctite applied to the threads) through the clamp and directly into the truck it will STILL slip after less than a mile. I had to have a friend TIG weld the two parts together. This was the only method that worked in the end and I tried many ways...Second, and by far most important, after weeks of searching for a method that would secure the mounts without fail (the weld job mentioned) the damn thing cracked in a critical point, actually you can only see one place where it cracked but there were two critical cracks. They don't look like much but the cracks were enough to allow the motor to pivot far enough to where the wheel got caught with the motor pulley and it severely damaged one of the wheels - which happened to be superfly 107's at a cost of about $140 a set.I had originally intended to build a 4WD esk8 setup but because the mounts were such trash I had to settle for a 2WD since after dropping well over $100 on this crap I had not the funds to chase that goal any longer. One of the other mounts simply bent about 2 days after initial installation - it was very minor bend but it was enough to affect the alignment enough to prevent proper operation. Oh, I forgot to add that this was all AFTER I purchased two more clamps (after the first ones flattened to hell while tightening them down so I was at what? Out $160 by the time you take the items, shipping into account - not including the damage to the wheels and other attempted modifications to get them to stay in place and giving my buddy something for his troubles of welding them while at work).Do yourself a favor and buy something else, preferably made of steel - you do not want the mounts, of all things, failing at an inopportune time.

Used this product with a 2000 watt 6355 brush-less motor and the torque from the motor alone was strong enough to begin bending the arm which holds it. The metal broke in 3 separate places after it was bent past 30 degrees. Had I not noticed this before leaving for class the motor would have most likely broken off in transit and caused serious harm to myself or others.

Looks solid feels solid I just hope it stands up to the motor I got. Will update when tested. Edit: ended up machining the mount to fit calliber II trucks and works like a charm save for some of my own errors when filing but that's my fault. use plenty of loctite on these screws, as I did not and my motor kissed the ground a couple of times but is still functional thankfully. I ended up using some loctite in between the mount that fits the truck and the plate that holds the motor for safe keeping and haven't had a problem since

Solid motor bracket but the truck mount is not as pictured. It should have smooth edges that fit caliber II trucks. Ill have to grind the edges away to make it fit.

Although the mount seems well built, the mount does not slide far enough onto the truck to allow for the wheel to be mounted, the threaded end of the truck does not stick out past the wheel. I have 180 mm V3 Paris Trucks and have the mount fixed to the truck as shown. I have Abec 11 90mm flywheels. This product does not work as advertised.

I found this to fit my Paris trucks perfectly! Finding a mount that will fit a round hanger is not easy. I saw this and figured I'd give it a try. Good quality anodized aluminum. The last reveiwer gave this 2 stars because this wouldnt fit his Calliber II trucks. However, that is a big mistake on his part as the description is for Paris trucks which do not have a flat spot on the hanger like Calliber II trucks have. I recommend this!

Did not come with clamp screw. Anyone else having this problem?
