First Look at TorqueBoards Direct Drive Motor

Also testing out some 160x50 Pneumatics :slight_smile: so looks like we’ll have to be riding more decks with better clearance… kinda sucks it’s harder to ride these without kicktails. Should be fun though.

surely you have these on a drop down right?

Yeah, that would be the best option. Dropthrough or downhill type decks.

I think we’re probably going with 83A. They are still pretty soft at 83A much softer than other wheels at 83A.

like the boa ?

Yeah, they should be fairly similar.

100mm is a great size but no point in having two options for 100mm and ultimately for the DD setup 110mm would be better. So we went with the 110mm option.

@bandrews510 I already have a working prototype using 3 pole double throw 40a relays.

I’m working on a circuit that will shrink the footprint to a pcb and some smd components that will work with NRF24 remotes and a programmable button

Basically the same way a soft switch works for the power on power off on the boards, on instead on on/off it will reterminate on the fly

@torqueboards I may try and get my hands on some 12x22x5 bearings and throw those 160x50 wheels on my MBS Board

@holyman92 They should fit on MBS, Trampa, Evolve as I made them somewhat similar for the rim size. I figured it would be better overall for them to be fairly similar. Tires/Tubes should be pretty interchangeable. Although, I can’t 100% confirm didn’t try yet.

Any idea when you will accept pre orders? :smile:

@Mich21050 Once we get them tested. Shouldn’t be too long. Have to make a few changes to the rim. I’m open to making a few more tire styles if anyone is interested. I was thinking of a 7" Off-Road Tire.

Mbs has 12mm axles tho so the only bearings I found are 12x22x5 and from some random site
