Oh sorry for the misunderstanding jenso (it is my fault, my wording was terrible!!)
What i meant was, i had the parts to be able to hold them next to each other to see if they would fit
So that is the AP 80100 180kv? WOW, that thing is beastly. Do you have pics of this motor mounted already. Also, what ESC are you using for such a huge motor. Thanks
Where is the LOVE button at? I only see a like button. For this particular set up, the absence of cross braces makes it look sleeker and more compact. Looking forward to seeing how the gears hold up after months and months of use. Based off of all the fine work and attention to details, I’m guessing it will hold up really well. If so, I might just have to get my hands on one of these kits in the future.
You can see here that there is no inteference contur outside the wheel :
You know… by looking at this picture I instantly imagined how it would look or run with 2 motors attached to one wheel! That would probably be way crazier just not sure is it needed for someone to make a dual motor driven wheels instead of going 4wd…
Hey jenso do you get any type of movement from this setup as I see nothing to keep it from moving in on the trucks any type of locking ring on the inside of the trucks to prevent movement for example where the aluminum part goes on the trucks is there anything to keep it from riding in more over time I’m comparing direct drive systems right now and saw something on the other system that brought me to this question thanks
Some RC guys do so with big scale aplications. But normally they are 4WD and they place two motors on the center diff. In this case to drive one wheel with two motors i would prefer 4 Motors for 4 Wheels
The Trampa Truck is machined on two sides in a squareangle, the removed material is not much.
Only 0.5mm from the 22mm per side, imo better then turning down to a round shape(here you will loose alot of material).
The mount itself got a 18mm wide area where it is in contact with the truck on 2 sides.
Two M8 ball pressure screws sit on the opposite side of the milled area and presses the mount on the squareangle.
It looks very solid and holds up fine so far, this kind of clamping is proved on many many chain/beltdrive kits(without machined truck) in 10mm wide.
Its needet to tighten the Screws again after the first rides because the metal head will move in a bit, but ones it set its hell of stable imo.
Hope this answer your question, if not please feel free to ask anytime.
I never was dissapointed by the SK3 Motors, really like them.
Main reason to choose the Aliens was the fact of high KV.
Also the more closed design suits good to the full sealed direct drive.
10mm Motorshaft and Silicon wires was another point.
Generall design in black with silver Alien Logo looking badass.
To compare the riding expierence is not easy caused to alot higher RPM,
what i regocnize again on this Alien motors is that they are louder as the SK3.
On 8S its not that loud as by another Setup i tried in the beginning of this year on 12S.
Hah I think if they wished they could! Just have to convince them it is worth it to do so! There’s an order going on (or it was) to order Sk3 with silicon wires and even hall sensors. Not sure about the axle lenght but they were also ready to add keyshaft to the axle, if needed.
