Awesome work man, can’t wait for my black direct drive kit to arrive
Do you have any recommendations on specific APS 63mm motors to go with the kit?
Sensors seem like they’d be handy to have but I’m concerned that they’re usually not waterproof and I might end up frying the sensors/VESC’s when riding through puddles etc?
What you wanna do brother with around 700KV ? EDIT : 520KV still HIGH
I fittet the SSS56114 on a Flame Truck with a Chaindrive, i doubt that it can be done on the Direct Drive… of course it could with an extendet Truck (-;
Would be such an great Event, i guess wee will have a Mastership again this year, its only around half the world buddy… common (-:
Tanks Michael, hope it arrives soon!
APS 6484 - 170kv is a killer, but also the 74mm length is great…
With sensors you will have more possible failure points, but also more ride comfort.
Hehe yeah i hope for fast delivery, done my best to get it out fast… damn postoffice had to do their best too (((-:
Bro, nice to read from you…
Thanks, me too they match that nice…
add some colour to your ride
Thanks to everyone for support.
Share the passion.
Cheers
Jenso
True why not… just was curios that you now talked about an Inrunner and before the Scorpian…
You know i´m playing around with Inrunners as well Brother…
About the Ronins, i will do a new batch, maybe with some changes… we could discuss (-;
But i really have to say absolutely “jealous free” that @chaka mounts for the Ronins are an unbelievable masterpiece… the Mount with the beared pulley and all features is Killer … RESPECT
yeah, finned and all. Nice and thick. It is all in the details.
They are choice kit
By a long way you and him are making the best designed mounts IMHO
But I’m not sure if they will mount infront & behind. I asked him about it and he tried to push me towards duel diagonal… I don’t like the torque steer…
From what I’ve heard, Ronin is discontinuing their last generation cast trucks and switching over to making cast version of their new Katana design. And…apparently from what I’ve seen, they’ve shortening it so the longest one their going to offer is 174mm and not 180mm like the old one.
According to their website, the cast katanas are going to be different from the old cast trucks.
Doesn’t really matter in the end, Jens already stated that his mounts can’t fit dual rear motors on ronins. Would have to look at other mounts that are of a thinner profile than Jens’.
EDIT : Scratch that, might be possible to do dual rear…but will have to remove the idler, use 9mm belts and XX54 motors…
Are the normal direct drives still the best (most bulletproof) choice for 8" offroad MTB?
Beside the fact that you need lower kv motors the only disadvantage I could imagine is maybe more wear on the wheelspur due to less teeth and more force on teeth because of 1:4 gearing (and no upgrade to 80mm motors possible).
Yap still would prefer a Regular Direct Drive for pure MTB use.
Higher Gear Ratio, stronger housing.
As you pointet out no 80mm Motors with the Mini.
I dont think that you will regocnize any “more” wear on the Mini.
I see the Mini for all Hybrid Builders… the mix of Street and Offroad… also if you plan to use mainly 7inch for commuting i would definitely choose the Mini Drive… on 7Inch you alredy got around 40mm ground clearence
Today I received this parcel and instantly fell in love with these beauties
I need to have a serious talk to my girlfriend or is it no cheating when I love and touch them?
