There is supposed to have a minimum of 2 threads out of the nyloc to be safely locked. I always check the nuts before each ride and some time a quick visual during a longer ride while I wait at a stop light.
For now, it lock OK but after removing the nut a few times, I will feel safer to put a new nut and loctite.
In the future, the worst case scenario: when a new nyloc nut will not work any more, I will have to work on and go with a castle nut and cotter pin
Itās very important to calibrate the remote each time you turn it on. Sounds like youāre not doing that - itās how the board behaves when the remote is not calibrated. Calibration means; turn on remote, full throttle, full brake, turn on board, remote pairs, youāre good to go.
The full throttle and full brake part is very important.
Hi MBS I would like to also mention that on the MBS Matrix 2 that for some reason the left side of the truck dependent on which you look at it the bearing do not fit flush correctly.
There is a wobbly feeling which wears down the bearing a lot faster on that side.
After riding over 50+ miles I have taken off the wheels and the bearing feels loose like they are breaking apart. Itās on both of my trucks. When I replace it with new bearings they do not sit flushed to the trucks, they feel wobbly like the diameters of the trucks are not even. It feels like the further past the wheel bearing moves outwords the more play it has. Is that by design ?
I am in Colorado Denver close to MBS I can bring it by to show you if needed.
I doā¦ I use the same calibration process as with my Raptor 2 and whenever I ride a Kalyā¦ It just seems to do this randomlyā¦ Like I said you just donāt know when itās going to happenā¦ Maybe itās just my boardā¦ Itās happen enough times that Iāve identified it & know what to do to make it go away but it keeps coming backā¦
Interesting about the axle nuts. I received my LaCrox three weeks ago and had a look at the nuts tonight. It appears that all four are short almost one thread from being flush with the nuts. No wheels have been removed yet. Is this something I should be concerned about? I have maybe 25 miles on the board so far.
So if anyone has seen my build post on the LaCroix, my only real issue is the lack of concave especially where my toes areā¦ I decided to try to do something about that!
I modelled and printed a 25mm lip right at the corner where my toes are, removed the tape, heat molded it to conform to the curvature, hot glued it down (temporary piece), then glued back the grip tape.
So far it feels much nicer, will bring it for a longer test ride but I think itās an immediate improvement.
Not sure if I need one for the back, maybe notā¦
The final piece will be printed in TPU then siliconed to the deck with a fresh slab of vicious tapeā¦
@Mobutusan Shawn,
Followed your suggestion and made a duct tape protection
Itās not even that ugly imo
@MBS Joel, I removed the washer and that way the axle has 2 threads exposed
@BOOSTEDO Jay, my board came with hangers flipped, logo in, I think thatās because of motor mounts and respective grub screw. Thatās why @ervinelin lights mounts didnāt fit. I flipped the front hanger and the slide on adapters fit perfectly. But back hanger is impossible to flip due to motor mount. So I just used rubber that came in the light kit.
Did 16km only but managed to go 44km/h on the main road.
The lights are only great to be seen, not to see the road.
So I use MecArmy PT16 with just a clip on my sun visor
Yeah I had flipped them Friday Night and it workedā¦ And no rubbing from my 7" evolve street tires - I was so busy riding and having fun with these Canadian guys I didnāt have time to post my findingsā¦ Sorry my bad @MBS@Grozniy
If you make a flipped version that would make my year!!!
May the esk8 gods bless all your ridesā¦ Peace
You should open a Lacroix after market shoppeā¦ How much for the gear driveā¦ I canāt convince @Kaly
to make some for the mbs matrix ii trucksā¦
@Arch I fixed that front truck wiggleā¦ Just gotta be mindful and keep the bottom washer centered while tightening the nut - had to stare at the parts for like 5 min to figure out what was the issue.
