So apparently Enertion is so busy after sales that it will be only shipped by end of the week… WTF how they work I have no idea…
Can you get the drv repaired while waiting? Or I can loan you a new one if you want in the interim
So as I was fixing all the wiring, sleeving and etc, just before getting tomorrow my drv I checked all gear drives if it spins correctly and shit…
One motor everything fine, the other one (the same which blew previous vesc) did same thing as new I got before…
So I was like this motor is for *** bad or etc, took multimeter, measured phases on wire is dead like zero contact with the world… checked cables and next base where windings attaches to phase wire its broken inside heat-shrink…
So thanks god Farnell is like next day delivery should get DRV on Thursday…
So be careful guys, always check your motor phase wires, if one is damaged it can kill your ESC

Hey guys, maybe someone knows why motor magnet retainer starts to climb out of bell? I have hammered it down yesterday and was working fine for like 12 mi to work, now I see it climbed out a bit again. I ordered Loctite 648 to glue it in, but have no idea how to remove it

On the other side some good news, received my upgrade package for my board, as I have already 3.5k miles on it and gears are not the best shape, after broken wheel hub and other stuff happened it was screaming as someone was killing it.
So I got FatBoy Solid Core Wheel hubs and v2 of 1:5 gear drive. Can’t wait to get back home from work to be able assembly it.

Yesterday, after rushing back home after work. I installed new parts, FatBoy Solid Core Wheel Hubs and newFatBoy Inner Gear Drive Train 1:5 for Trampa.
It was fun to take all wheels apart and change wheel hubs, dirtiest work on the board I guess and all brake dust and etc is present on wheels…
The wheel hub structure is so THICCC it’s like not even comparable to original plastic ones, its one massive wheel hub… I was thinking maybe even polish them for more bling bling
Also now wheel hubs, come with high quality bearings (not comparable to Trampa ones and bearing spacer)
Mouting wheel gear is much easier as you can now tighten them really well as there are no more plastic which can brake and etc
Also I changing all my bolts to Torx ones, as I hate to use drill to drill off the head then head spins off…
The new motor mounting plate is way much better
Wheel hub bolts now are from behind and need no more hammering to get it on.

So went for the first ride. First notice just from pulling board to outside, sound is much nicier than pulling board compared to previous one. That’s a big plus, I hate to pull my board through office and everyone looks at me like who is making that noise
First step on the board and first push on throttle… I was like where is sound there was no sound compared to previous one it was some but not like before it’s completely different also the whole feeling is much smoother the new drive train just flows you press throttle and it just goes doesn’t feel like motors have to struggle to push the board it just goes…
I was amazed… Did some turns around the home and went to the road around thames CS3 road in London from Blackwall, damn the wheel hubs… I didn’t thought it will make such big difference in riding experience the board just flows… No more vibrations at higher speeds or anything, it also rolls much further I don’t know if its related to gear drive or just wheels I can push lot more and just coast much further than before. One noticeable thing is jumping those wheel hubs are bit heavier than plastic, and also they don’t absorb the jump like plastic ones, so you feel it with whole board.
Went for speed runs, and now to reach top speed is super easy, and it feels supper stable ( I am running red dampas in front and blue one in the back)
P.S. I need new motors, my current one magent retention ring touches motor baseplate and makes noise too…

Where did all the marks on the hangar come from?
I used a bit of sand paper to sand down paint as previous drive didn’t fit perfectly, but even on painted added same as this.

Ah shouldn’t be a problem for the v2 drives right?
Nope, they move super easy

The gears were wearing down on the v1 1:5? was it normal wear from standard use? I was under the impression that they would last longer before needing to replace the gears
I had wheel hub breaking while riding, so had like 100m on wheel gear riding which deformed plastic and etc problems
Ohh gotcha it was a result of your accident from the previous plastic hubs? you mean to say the gears connected to the wheel were getting hit by debris? sorry trying to picture what actually happened 
Nah wheel hub broke, lost truthiness and then tube got punctured and tire got off wheelhub and I rode on wheel gear so whole weight on gear

Damn 100m riding on the wheel gear! no wonder you needed a new gear drive. Good thing the V2’s arrived in time for you. Hoping to place my order tom.
I’m looking forward to a similar experience with those wheel hubs! they look way beefier than the Trampa hubs. They look alot like automobile wheels already, just goes to show the top notch quality. tubes shouldn’t be puncture when its made completely out of steel now!
They didn’t brake, but got hit hard when it landed on it, I was still riding until yesterday, they sounded like scooter with exhaust pipe cut off but still worked…

Those things are built like tanks! if they run just fine albeit abit louder. That inspires confidence cause the gears won’t fail and can be sure youre safe with using them 
But don’t forget 1:3 is more street version… 1:5 is more hardcore…
