Yes, thatā€™s why we are making longer hanger so there wouldnā€™t be any problems with 6374 motors :wink:

Hmm it looks like it wonā€™t fit on mount under the board for front truck, can you se any problem front mount it for the front truck?

51

Not really, also you will need to double check if it doesnā€™t fit under the deck in the front. Drive can have angle adjusted. Plus it will be pretty wide

Finally our Dyno stand for our esk8 gear drives is finished. We will be able to test gear drives more accurately at variable speeds and loads and fine adjust noise to lowest levels.

This is how our first prototype looks under heavy load pressing on them. (Sound is distorted as the test was done in small room and recorded with iPhone)

Nice, how are you applying a load? Disk brake?

55

At the moment just down pressure, but itā€™s enough to top up 60A batt amps on single esc

That must be putting a crazy amount of heat on wheel surface and bearings, looking forward to see what comes out of it

57

Sounds great!

Do the gears on the video have any lubrication?

59

Nope, this is old version, the first one. Itā€™s for reference when the new one will be made :wink:

Will this drive be sticking with Flywheels over Kegals? At this point if the game Iā€™m seeing Kegal Wheels a bit more reliable than Flywheelsā€¦

Though , thereā€™s no 110 Kegals in existence and Iā€™m thinking that 110 is chosen because itā€™s the minimum wheel for ground clearance?
