Carvon Direct Drive Tuners Thread - Share your tips, tricks & recommendations

I even ran 90mm on my torque drives. Went back to 97mm because my new flowertray enclosure was hitting the speedbumps too much. They still do now with 97mm but at least it doesn’t dead stop anymore.

Correct. The same adapter fits all the carvon drives. The hole pattern is different on the TD and the SD

For all of you waiting on Kegel version. I have a set of wheels coming my way and probably will have something to manufacture next week!

What’s the diff between your abec adapter and the abec adapter that Jerry ships?

Fits clones and abecs, without need of heatshrink lol

oh, my abecs didn’t need the heatshrink, does that mean I’m cool? lol

Yeah you dont need this then I guess. I guess you have the old adapter. Whoever makes these drives cheaped out and thought that having new one adapter and heatshrinks will solve things. When they could have designed it correctly like pxss did

Here is a video that was sent to me. If your drives dont have this issue, you don’t need the adapter. The adapter I designed, fits real abecs snug so won’t have this issue.

@Mikenopolis said his fit tight initially but became loose as the prongs sharpness wore out the wheel core. This was addressed in my design by chamfering the edges of the prongs but by also making them a lot longer. The prongs are the length of the core so the wheels ride completely on the smooth sides and not on any edges.

The adapters fit all three drives so you don’t have to get new adapters if you switch from SD to TD.

My adapters will also fit 36T+ pulleys that I’m designing so you don’t have to wait until you get the drives to put them to use.

Thanks!

This is also great news. what other gears are you planning to make? any smaller like 30t or 32t for the smaller wheel applications

I’ll check how small I can go but I think 36 was right on the edge because of the diameter of the hole pattern. Any smaller pattern would make the screw heads interfere with the prongs.

Ok this is still very cool you implemented a gear with it …great idea…thank you for the info

just filled the survey… am i too late?

You are just in time. I’ll send you a PM.

Hey Patrick. Do you think you can create an adapter for the Enertion R2 hubs, seems like it would work. 9023c1fdf61082e3a0dab2065c6456201d836bf9_1_505x500

I agree with you the dominance of Superflys are over I think Kegel core wheels will start to reign supreme

Probably. Send me dimensions of the hole pattern.

@SeanHacker can you help out here with potential measurements of the Raptor hubs. We are thinking those can be converted to CarvOn-esk direct drives? Thoughts?
