The BadWolf enclosure is a “hack” you can do to your FlySky GT2B or KobbyKing GT2B (transmitters aka remotes) to put it in a smaller 3D printed enclosure.
I have those same wheels on my current build and I really like the way they feel on the road but they aren’t as precision as flywheels by any stretch. One thing to look out for is that bearings will be hard to press in on one wheel and practically fall out of the next. Of course once they’re bolted on that doesn’t matter. I have heard stories about them being unbalanced, and upon closer inspection i found that i do have an extremely slight wobble in one wheel but it certainly isn’t enough to affect anything.
Of course all of this is why those wheels are like $30 or $40 less than proper ABEC 11 flywheels. But at the end of the day, I’m happy with the clones and they’re a lot less expensive.
@torqueboards I noticed on your build that you have flush mount hardware. Did you countersink the deck yourself or did yours come counter sunk? If you did do it yourself did you have any issues with fraying?
Not a huge fan of “hack” describing a simple how-to step by step process. (my own personal issue being an IT guy and everyone “hacking” anything when in reality they are copy/paste someone else who actually knows what they are doing…)
Anywhoo… Some cutting (PCB), soldering, and hot glue - it’s not rocket science and if i can do it…
I’m also using those wheels on my current (and first ever) build. One of them has the slightest possible wobble but it’s not perceptible when riding the board. (kicking - no esc yet)
One thing I noticed though is that pulleys that are made for real Flywheels don’t quite line up with the spaces in the hubs on these knockoffs. I was able to get three of the six screws from the Enertion pulley into the hub and it looks like I could easily get a fourth screw through if I drilled a new hole into the carbon backing washer on the outside of the wheel.
onloop changed to just to HACK:… so i changed it back to how-to but left hack. it’s my own issue.
back on topic - i’ve used the clone and genuine flywheels - i too noticed the clones were inconsistent - super tight bearings and not tight… No biggie. I also had folks complain about the 'thane quality and feel. When brand new they were a bit slick w/ release agent, but after a few miles they’ve broken in just fine. Not as sticky as flywheels, not quite as soft duro as flywheel - but totally doable.
