Well I think you will have more stability at high speeds, I’ll report back to inform how it does turn at low speeds
I’ll prolly upgrade the bushings, just haven’t seen a great need to up to this point. I think I’ll replace the long bushing first and see how it performs.
So I was driven to drink the single malt this weekend trying to get the 25mm belts installed. I still don’t know what the issue was. The current belts I’m running are HTD5m 340-15 on 15T HTD5m 15mm pulleys. The new belts are TD5m 340-25 on 15T HTD5m 27mm pulleys. Nothing I did would get the damned belts on. But my 15mm wide belts go on no problem.
I think I’m just gonna stick with 15mm belts and pulleys and call this done.
I don’t understand, whats the issue you’re running into?
hell, I don’t understand either.
Finally got this resolved. Turns out the belts I received were actually 3.5mm smaller that spec. Sent them back and ordered different belt and now all I’d good. I also upgraded to 6374 190kv motors so I could use the 6354s on my kids street board.
I am now running 25mm 15t HTD5M motor pulleys and 345x25mm HTD5M belts. I’m running pretty loose and no slip even know fast takeoffs and uphill.
Edit:. I’m currently average 28wh per mile, I’ll post after I’ve had a chance to measure with the new pulleys and belts. I don’t for see much of a change, if any.
damn those are HUGE
holy fuggin shit! those are insane!
it’ll be like you’ve got brakes all the time
Yeah they are, just wanted to try it and see what happened. The difference between 9mm and 12mm width belts is massive from a performance view, even larger with 15mm belts. The difference between 15mm and 25mm is not much, but it is noticeable.
I’m running a lot looser than previously, so it free rolls a lot better. The brakes and acceleration is perfectly linier now, there is no need to allow safety margins for belt slippage.
Next upgrade???
Could be
Yeah ! Big upgrade for 2018 with this beaty motor and belt !! Enjoy your amasing ride
Just realized I never posted stats. Here’s some…
This wasn’t a long ride, just me and my kid going to the comic book store. Also it’s cold as crap (31f), for me anyways .
I pulled a TB 218 from another build and added the skis to it, installed it in ‘Glory’.
I’m hoping so, the 6in airless wheels are sliding around in the hubs because I’d the cold. I’m hoping for less grab in the front when it ices over.

Hhehehe so cool!
Sweet, great job!
