@sofu, not to sure what I accidentally started here. But I did have a valid question above if you ignore the rest of the noise that was generated afterwords lol.

sofu · January 27, 2019, 10:38pm

You can’t private message probably because you haven’t interacted enough or something…

The free replacement parts thing is only for the people I picked up parts for when I was in Taiwan. They’re “testers” so to speak. If you buy viva his website I don’t think you will get any replacement parts unless you contact him via email directly.

topcloud · January 28, 2019, 4:08am

(waiting on my replacement, too)

@sofu , thanks for your reply. I think then I may hold off on buying from them then unfortunately until they make there forks (again possibly using wrong name) thicker. I guess people are saying the current measurements are too thin and can get bent.

Has that been the general experience so far with testers? That it eventually bents and breaks? I mean, is there a simple alternative, such as just buying the motors and attaching them to something else instead? Again, new to this, so not sure if that is possible.

Winfly · January 28, 2019, 4:35am

tl,dr. the axle currently is 13" (too long), only 8mm in diameter (too weak), made of ~~7075-T6 aluminium(too soft)~~ some steel, cant (V-shaped) and designed to flex under load. They are fixing these issues and with 12mm axle made with titanium. Also the motors are only 65kv so a little be too slow.

jasonbhuynh · January 28, 2019, 5:01am

@Ixf confirmed that axles are steel, they are just too long which is why they’re bending
