It’s the mark of professionalism when you don’t even know what metal your axle is made from.
But seriously, this thread is for @torqueboards brand direct drive

We’re almost done with the DD… Just … weather + rain = No fun.
We’ll probably go with a pre-beta run once we get them tested for a few hundred miles.
Def interested in any high mileage riders to put some miles and dog these new DD motors out.

We’ll I want to get the 110 Kegel Cores (Made in CA) but we’re still testing and the molds might take a while. If everyone wants to wait on the molds. We can do that too which ultimately I think that would be the better route.

You need me to test these things really Don’t worry about anyone else. Just me. I can break anything. On a serious note though I do live in Australias equivalent to SF with extreme heat and silly hills, I’m a big heavy lump too.
Might as well ride on 110s…

These DD look amazing and from what I’ve seen they are tanks probably the stongerst DD out there stonger than any hub drive. Also cooling shouldn’t be an issue with these like you see on other brands.
Can’t wait to see these DD in action. Also the 110mm wheels are gonna be boss

Down to test if you need a more serious stress test… ride 10-20+ miles a day, 7 days a week, and live in a pretty hilly area in SoCal. I always use your guys trucks, motors, and other shit on 2 of my DIY’s already but would love to test the new stuff out since I will buy it anyway. Can’t go wrong with a member to the 3rd power right…? LMK. PS - Guys I ride with call me board killer cause I’m always need to change/fix things just due to the fact I weigh 200 lbs and ride close to full throttle much of the time in a area with hills. Not my fault, hope these can hang better than anything else though, would be great!
