That’s why I posted on the TorqueDrive GB, you shouldn’t use that motor with too much high amps/high rpm or else they will heat up. If one wants to maintain the top speed on TD, they need to increase diameter of wheels.
Thicker winding would be great, if there is enough space.
That’s why don’t get a TorqueDrive, get a SpeedDrive. But don’t complain about the lack of torque on the SpeedDrive just because of exactly what you just explained.
I don’t know what you mean by “come up clean”, I already told how much amps the motors can take, then you can calculate that with the voltage and come up the Watts. I’m not coming up with these numbers from air, I ride these motors too. Just this weekend, I’ve been riding/testing/observing/documenting/etc. them. You can ask the guys I rode with to get an independent opinion.
You guys are so anal about the motors when the motors are everywhere. Almost all configuration are out there. No need to re-invent them. Real innovation is on the trucks, the axle, the wheel adapters, the deck, the wheels, the interface, etc. There’s no point in making “THE MOST POWERFUL MOTOR” when your trucks can’t handle them.
@Mobutusan is right. We are only using the Landyachtz Evo deck for EVO with SpeedDrive R, EVO with SpeedDrive XL (discontinued) and EVO with SpeedDrive R 4WD.
Agree on how the motors are everywhere, its not like the Motors themselves are the innovations here in the first place but rather how they are positioned that make up the drive train which is what sets Carvon drives apart from hubs and satellite configs
nope! the legislation concerning lithium batteries may change a bit from company to company, but not in a way that it would ever authorize the battery of a skate.
How many have you had a chance to send? is this a we have sent 1 board to someone who wasn’t part of the original backers but will probably make a nice video about it type deal or is it a we have actually shipped 15 out of the 46 on the campaign ?
Yes, but if you want the front to dip more, I’d recommend the Evolve truck. It’s 11 inches wide too and same height with the TD when you mount drop-through. There’s also SurfRodz TKP and Originals S10, but not sure if they have will have same height of TD.
Nope, it’s 324Wh. We’re still going to sell the regular EXO with the Koowheel deck and battery system for those that want the ability (YMMV) to travel by air with it and/or the swappable system. But only a top mount this time.
That’s great news! Can you tell us how many XL’s went out, and when the next batch might be ready? Or maybe even post a list of the first name and last initial of those who are supposed to receive tracking info, in case the email ends up in a spam folder? I don’t want to seem pushy, but I’m moving in a couple weeks and don’t want these things to get delivered to a vacant house and disappear off the door step before I can get my hands on them.
). Does anyone have a suggestion for something practical? Thanks
