I have a clicking sound that I can only hear from one motor at low speeds. I have taken everything off a couple times now but it’s still there. I will look again tonight but I have a question.
When the motors are attached to the motor mounts you can push the motors from side to side. I noticed this a long time ago but the clicking just started so I don’t think they are related but wtf do I know. Is this normal or do I need to do something to stop the sideways movement?
Also, the motor mount screw that sits on the inside of the belt will not tighten all the way. I put locktite in, let it sit for a day then rode around. After this ride is when I noticed the clicking. Do you need to use all 4 motor mount screws or are 3 enough? FYI I took it out and the clicking was still there. It’s the only screw that doesn’t tighten so I’ll leave it out if it doesn’t matter.
Its a stock evolve gtx with 107mm wheels. I’ll have to take my time with it tonight and see what I find. I’ll make a short video of the clicking sound.
I still need to know if 3 motor mount screws is enough or do I need to keep using locktite on the one screw that won’t tighten. I think the motor screw shaft is stripped.
Oh and what about the lateral movement of the mounted motors? Is that normal?
For Evolve? Hate to say it but anything is possible. Lets get those vids and pics when you get a chance and there’s some pretty smart people here who will be able to help.
Its a circlip, its probably just damaged, get a new one from pretty much any large hardware store. Use snap ring pliers to remove and replace, or small needle nose and a tiny flat head.
Also is it possible to remove the damaged circlip without removing the gear? I’m having difficulties with my needle nose pliers and flathead screwdriver
