true… it isnt really strange that the production boards basically hide stuff from you so people dont go and just build it themselves…
im not sure how “Press fit” works…
is it true that you have some kind of square part of the truck that holds the motor in place?.. and i guess a bolt which acts as the axle… is this a feature of the premade stators that you had no choice on?
im actually looking for one of these r-spec/maytech style motors for a custom truck i have…
but i am also looking for hub motors that can bolt onto ANY normal paris truck or venture trucks or ANYTHING… perhaps with some kind of hex screw tightening onto it… or something like that…
I don’t have a square part or something only the press-fit to lock it.
no, my hub doesn’t fit on a normal truck. it is way smaller (126mm if I’m correct). My goal wasn’t to make a hub that fit on a normal truck because a truck was a piece of cake if you look at the rest.
you mean that the truck axle wouldnt be long enough for the width of this hub motor compared to say a regular long board wheel? what if i were to cut away some of the truck hanger to expose more of the axle??
oh wow… yours spins in the middle not just the outside?? i assume that thread screws into the truck hanger? and that tripod thing seems like it stays stationary at all times… but the mini gears on it individually spin??
long time no see. I can say that I finished the project and something that I was scared of came true. The space between motor and the outer ring is too small therefore the loss in eddy current is too big. Maybe I will modify it later to (hopefully) fix it.
For now, I will change to belt drive because i want to drive this year.
I was thinking this week what happened to this project
You mean that the cilinder that the magnets are mounted are too close to the outer wheel cilinder and the magnetic flux behind the magnets are inducing a current on the outer cilinder?
Hello Frank. I’m very interested in one of your builds, the planetary hub gearbox for a electric longboard. I was doing research on planetary gear boxes because I’m going to be building a electric long board w/ a planetary hub when I stumbled on your build. I just have a few questions. How did you get your ratio? Meshing? With the knowledge I have, the gearboxes purpose is to decrease top speed and bump up torque to the wheels…? Any recommendations as far as design or anything else? I will happily take anything. And BTW, I’m only 17, and this will be my first ever long board build. Thank you!
OMG. I can’t believe the thread ends here. At least send your files to the Chinese. Either release to public, or start a business. You literally have an incredible product just sitting there.
Hello Frank.
The solution with epiloidal is very interesting. I am very interested in your project for a different application. No skateboards. Are you interested in an industrial collaboration?. I don’t speak English well but we can write to each other.
