On the Carvon motors?

Sorry no

If you wanted a trampa with carvons you’d need to find a 5-15 degree baseplate… So the end angle is around 40-50 degrees. Trampas are wedged 35 degrees…

Good luck finding a baseplate with that low of angle…

It’s actually 35-40mm sunk into the hangar… depending on the spacer combo used

This is a 80mm setup… 70mm and 40mm of spacer with bearings won’t even touch the threads… 70mm axles have 2 bearings, one 10mm wheel spacer inside. And then one 10mm spacer and two 5mm spacers. You can have the full 20 of spacer outside the wheel for 35mm sunk into hangar, or 15mm of spacer for 40mm sunk into hangar. A 70mm axle with 30mm of spacer and two bearings leaves 42.67mm of axle exposed not including the head of the shoulder(axle). 15mm of spacer leaves 37.67mm exposed.

I don’t understand this as I can lean across the stars. Are you using thier crappy stock bushings??? Lol.

The pic is weird, but this is a TB 218 hanger cut down to 11in & re-threaded 5/16-24 to match the Carvon v4 TorquDrives width.

I still need to grab some Blood Oranges. The stock SR bushings do seem pretty lackluster, but I haven’t actually ridden them yet

Rodz came… rear end feels neglected

Mikenopolis · February 28, 2018, 6:07am

That’s a personal problem. Best find another forum for that issue

scepterr · February 28, 2018, 6:08am

This is a very helpful place, you never know…

ATLesk8 · February 28, 2018, 6:27am

A rear end should never feel unloved, because there are endless numbers of rear end lovers.

Eboosted · February 28, 2018, 6:34am

How do I order Carvons, their website never has stock available, are they still under development? What’s the ETA?

scepterr · February 28, 2018, 6:35am

Oh dude… You can’t order em…but maybe some people will have some extra available

ATLesk8 · February 28, 2018, 6:36am

Somebody tell him the bad news

Mikenopolis · February 28, 2018, 6:37am

Torque drives are the only ones you can order at the moment just have to accept that these are modified hubs that are used in the newest Koowheels. The SpeedDrive and XL’s were limited runs that’s sold out. Not sure if they will offer them again. I would say yes because we love them too much

Jebe · February 28, 2018, 6:41am

Still waiting on my kickstarter drives… better come back in stock

Exiledd_Top · February 28, 2018, 6:44am
