Cheap Ass 6x2 Pneumatic Belt Setup. 3D printed Pulley/ Vex Versa Pulley. Thingiverse link in post #534

Problem is that abs has to hold m6 threads and I don’t trust it. You’ll understand when I have the adapter ready…

Can’t have a hex nut at the end instead?

Sadly no, because the hub has 3 holes and disc brake has 5 holes. There is no way to space things out nicely.

Oh that makes sense. Best to just ignore me I’m far from an engineer hahaha

I’m getting there i finally got my trucks and pulleys after a week of usps delays.

Im just a step ahead! Operation test ride begins tomorrow afternoon… just in time before i leave town for 2 weeks… i scared to see where my range will drop to…but hoping for a nice cushy ride… may have to order a drop down deck while im gone so i have another money pit to work on… =P I made an assembly vid… which ill edit this week… used a slightly smaller bearing for idlers…and a 410mm belt… i got 415mm just in case but to much slack although could be remedied by going back to standard size bearings… but space gets tight around the bend from wheel pulley to bearing…

also… i took this extra pic… i thought it was this thread where I had a discussion about the marc motor mounts… i have the “long” version which Im using for these pnuemius and for my 107s… but i got this used set off some one else… probably his medium version which is a bit smaller…as you can see the 107 starts to cover the idler area… medium is probably best suited for a 97mm max… but probably a no go for 6" tires…

Is that a pole dancing pole behind you? You are a lucky man.

Why? Do you pole dance too?

Are pole dancers generally lucky people? :thinking:

I would assume that someone would give him pole dances shows. But I am probably too narrow minded, he could very well be the one using it as you pointed out… Shit, I just froze imagining a dude pole dancing, scary mental image.

why don’t you try mounting drop through and reverse mount your motors instead of a drop down?

ahhaha… i left that as an easter egg…was wondering which one of you fawkers would notice first! =P Not to get to off topic, but yeah me and my girl both pole dance professionally traveling the globe. We’re movement artists n teach dance, inversions, floor, pole and aerial circus stuff… but this niche market has its perks… id take a pole anyday over football and some good ol man on man tackling =P u can google my name and find plenty of decent content BUT the reason I was stoked get all this rolling today is cuz tomorrow coincidentally im going to do a holiday show for a couple weeks with my Cirque company.

Not to take the thread of topic, but in the spirit of the holidays… and pole dancing lol… heres a clip from last years tour… if @mishrasubhransu wants me to delete it i will… next post i post will have footage from todays ride and assembly… but will be a few days :wink:

happy holidays! =)

i could… i just have enough everything, including a battery, to throw another board together (minus a deck)… so just makes sense to have an AT setup and nice fast one with my 107s…

:joy::joy: dude my physical condition is not as great as yours. I don’t even think I can do 2 pull-ups.

Now just to stay on topic, I want to see your test ride video too. I am still missing belts before I am able to ride mine motorized.

did you think of doing a evolve type setup where you could swamp between your at wheels and 107’s or pulleys and belts wont line up the same?

btw I just got one step closer my deck came today!
