So I thought it would be a larger inner diameter but no that touches all the way on the rim so there’s is still lots of bite. I put about 35lbs and nothing popped out of course I’ll lower it to about 30lbs before I ride test it

No wonder you only had the LY switchblade 40 briefly. I couldn’t find any enclosures for it.

b264 · May 9, 2019, 3:49am

I had it briefly because I obtained one for someone else, and it was here before reshipping it, and I rode it analog a little bit first

Ah. Ok. I’ve pinged a couple of well known enclosure builders here. Both said they haven’t had a chance to make one.

Yeah not sure if you being sarcastic here Hobbywing are very reliable esc’s within the rc industry and probably the best chinesium manufacturer. Just wouldn’t mind seeing something vesc based from them.

In the meantime I’m still going with sarcasm because thats more up my street and paves the way for battle

I was being genuine. Ive used hobbywing parts before and loved them. Some of them i swear are bulletproof

b264 · May 9, 2019, 4:48am

Sounds like an interesting experiment

dareno · May 9, 2019, 4:48am

Theres a builder here that has an enclosure on a 36. Its on the pic thread not too far back but too far for me to bother lol

pookybear · May 9, 2019, 4:48am

Most of my RC speedos are hobbywing. They’re pretty good and reliable. Not sure about esk8

Im on it

pookybear · May 9, 2019, 4:49am

Looking for 40.

dareno · May 9, 2019, 4:51am

Damn it They are good actually. Just put one in my sons (11) hub board and its smooth as silk compared to the old snatchy piece of shit.

Dirt_Bag · May 9, 2019, 4:52am

Well im glad to hear that they work so well. Ive ridden chinese hub escs before and most of them are horrendous

It’s all fun and games until you accidentally take that to the airport one day

Jokes on you, im too poor to fly. But my cousin has a plane and jokingly said “if i ever need a ride”

Theres no TSA for private 2 seaters

I’m having a bit of trouble figuring out how the motor sprocket fits on to the keyway’d motor shaft. I did some searching and realized the small metal tab should go in the keyway, but do the grub screws also need to be tightened down? If so I need a smaller hex key, 2mm is too big. 10mm shaft 10mm ID bore.

How does this thing go on without spinning freely? IMG_20190509_073717 IMG_20190509_073745 IMG_20190509_073809

You need a 3mm x 3mm x 10-20mm piece of metal to go in the slot.

Cool I have one of those, it came with the chain/sprocket parts and I didn’t know what it was for at first. Is it as simple as slotting it in the keyway with some loctite?

b264 · May 9, 2019, 4:39pm

Yes

What angle do rkp trucks stop working? I’ve got 45 degree baseplate/hangar pair on a 31” deck with about a 20 degree ends and it just doesn’t turn under my weight anymore
