I installed the TFL Float Blocks on my WTF GT and can say that the increased motor cable length alone is well worth the investment. Prior to this, I’ve busted two of the motor cable o-rings and even with the TFL cable retainer, my motor cable cord was so short & tight that it was just barely being held in. The plastic o-rings were actually breaking on their own whenever the cable received any additional strain (ie: picking my board up by the rails and accidentally squeezing the motor cable).
Now with the Float Blocks, my motor cable has so much extra length that it’s actually pushing the plug straight into the controller with its own pressure. My latest replacement plastic o-ring is tightening properly and as another back-up, the TFL motor cable retainer is now able to also fully secure the cable in place. It’s just an added bonus that these blocks are also adding strength to the GT axles and provide a bit of additional heat dissipation.
Anyhow, I strongly recommend that you pick some up if you have the short motor cable issue like I did. These solve it 100% and give you peace of mind that your motor cable isn’t going to disconnect on you while riding bumpy trails.
