Motor Gear:
Do you have 4 axis cnc?
nope. 4 3 axis Shopbot Desktop Maxâs. These arenât helical so they will be able to be done with a tiny endmill on a standard CNC. My plan is to buy the motor gears from ebay (cheap and less work for me) and mill the mounts and 3d print the wheel gear. If the wheel gear doesnât hold up that will be milled along with the mounts
If your 3D printed gears blow apart let me know, I might be able to help out.
Lol ok will do
So my thoughts were, rather than just copy Jensoâs mount which is a cool mount in itself, but improve on it with your original idea of a bevel gear.
The bevel gear lets you put the motor in a 90 degree plane to allow for larger motors and also handle smaller gear ratios.
Essentially take thisâŚ
And put it in here⌠and fold the enclosure 90 degrees along the purple dotted line towards the truck:
The whole structure would form an L - shape
HmmâŚ
Finishing a Spanish project right now but will give it a shot when I get home. Jenso style is easy for me because Spur gears are waaaaaayyy easier to source than bevel gears
Hey!
Iâve âfinishedâ my bevel gear longboard today. I didnât do any CAD designs, mainly because i immediately wanted to start 
Some findings iâve had: -You need to be able to adjust to motor position in all axis. If your gears arenât fitting accurate they wonât the needed momentum. (I was able to change the angle⌠but thats not really necessary) -Think about adding some kind of oilpath to reduce friction. I didnât drive far but arenât looking great anymore. -At least close the gears. I donât want to know what happens, if youâll get a stone between the gears while driving.

" I donât want to know what happens, if youâll get a stone between the gears while driving."
You stop. Really fast 
Actually you probably just put a little gouge in your gears and then the rock pops out, depending on the size of the rock.

Hahaha time to get a mount for it 
When I say press fit, I mean semi bolt-on⌠the gear wonât randomly fall of while your riding

Glad to see all the interest in this
I just whipped up a mount in about 10 minutes. Will print tomorrow so I can run the gears without holding the mount
I know the mount looks like garbage but its just something to make the direct drive bench testable
Kinda want that motor mount lol, but I have like a ton of them laying around and why tf are you using your phone in class
It was my bathroom break lol. The mounts arenât good you have to run the pulley super far away from it putting tons of stress on the motor bearings. Will try it in s couple hours when school is over 
outboard motors?
Eventually yes.
Here is a video with my mount. Canât power it up cause I blew my drv on my way home from school. This project will probably go on hold until I get my hands on a new vesc since I have absolutely no extra money right now.

Nice work! figure out how to make a cover â think it will a little tricky because where will it mount to?
Without a cover⌠itâs likely to be a bit dangerous.
