Are you going to offer the hanger with the gear drives?

moon · March 18, 2019, 4:16am

My drives won’t need modifications to the hanger. So I don’t feel like theres much point?

I wonder where are you guys getting the surfrodz 200mm tkps.

When are you planning to have these drives available?

moon · March 18, 2019, 1:39pm

There isn’t any at the moment. This drive doesn’t need 200mm tkp either.

Andy87 · March 18, 2019, 1:49pm

But 200mm rkp

Here’s a noise sample of the Moon Gear Drives with Mobil Grease 28 aviation grease, for those that were curious.

Ugh… so much want @moon What’s the top speed on these @mmaner ?

Wraith · March 21, 2019, 11:38pm

They’re not all that high pitched to be fair. Also, Nice shoes lol

mmaner · March 21, 2019, 11:40pm

27mph at the moment but Im still testing bushings so I have my motor amps low. I’ve got cones street side front and back right now, gonna have to change that.

The grease kills the pitch whine almost completely. They will never be as quiet as belts, but that’s the trade off for massive torque and less maintenance.

mmaner · March 21, 2019, 11:42pm

Lol, those are my work vans, I get funny looks when I wear my red high top vans

Wraith · March 21, 2019, 11:43pm

How does the Mobil grease compare to the archoil?

moon · March 21, 2019, 11:56pm

More grease talk

I would like to know too

mmaner · March 22, 2019, 12:07am

I think the archoil is likely better, but I got 14 oz of Mobilgrease 28 for the almost the same same price as 0.5 oz of Archoil 8300.

Mobil 28 = $21.87 with free shipping

Archoil AR8300 Sever Duty = $16.95 plus shipping

Wraith · March 22, 2019, 12:08am

thats a big price diff for sure! I actually went with the AR8300 but haven’t had the opportunity to use it yet. Thanks for the info @mmaner!

Grozniy · March 22, 2019, 12:53am

Can’t wait for these drives

Mobutusan · March 22, 2019, 2:57am

Archoil also has the 8100 Heavy duty version that’s only $13.45 for a 14oz. tube.

moon · March 22, 2019, 3:06am

Yes thats not suitable for plastic gears

Mobutusan · March 22, 2019, 3:34am

Good to know. Nevermind then. The 8300 is expensive, but a little seems to go a long way.

moon · March 22, 2019, 3:36am

I think 14 Oz is good for 5 drives, once belts are forgotten about and gear drives are on every single board I’m sure some grease nerd will find something good for us

Alternatively I can find some good stuff in europe for the same price and it’s 1kg
