The wheels are bigger than I thought they would be…from first looks it seems that any of those 80mm clone wheels will do the job…
I just need to open up the motor housing and see if a 50mm motor will fit … If that does … Hope the shaft is long enough to hold the pulley and wheel in alignment
Cause I’m like a little kid and I gotta see
This is the rear truck with the mounting braket minus the wheel and motor… …
Here’s the motor…and motor pulley pressure fitted with a c ring…and the enclosure with the brains of the operation…
Here’s the wheels…see the little teeth…def not a 36t
I did a test fit of he ntm 50/60 motor…a tad too small…a 63 should fit but would have to tap holes and cut a notch in aluminum alloy for the phase wires to fit without rubbing the bell housing.
I could put an Thin plate to mount the ntm… Prob gonna have to put the pully hanging off the edge of the shaft to get the correct alignment.
Update: Photo of the belt
Looking good so far- I also think you could make the NTM work with an aluminum conversion plate. Let me know if you want me to make you one, as I have access to a CNC machine… if you’re interested, just shoot me the dimensions and we’ll work it all out.
Haha not trying to sell you crap, just letting you know if you’re interested and don’t want to get a 63mm motor for fit ment issues.
Otherwise, you can always go full DIY spirit and make you own plate for cheap!
Lol lets just sent the board around the world … People could take turns tweeking it lol…The People’s Board! Lol
Thanks my brother @cmatson … I’ll let you know…lets see what I can do without dragging people down with me … Lol
I fear that if I put that ntm on there…it may rip the belt, break the teeth of the wheel pulley or…shear the screws off wheel pulley…
I would say the weakest link here are the wheels… I did try 80mm … Don’t fit… Looks like a proprietary skateboard wheel…so better not do any power slides on this thing
use the plane bracket that comes with the motor, that might make it easier to fit? aparrant ly its called a cross mount
Ok looks like there is a crack in the pcb board they have as an all in one electronics board…prob the only way I can ride this if I sever every thing and connect the motor to the battery…ill probably need and on off switch that I can turn off and on…or a 12v potentiometer or something like that …
Also looks like I’ll need to machine the inside where the original motor was…they have ridges which stop me from putting the ntm flush against the motor mount…plus the hole for the shat is very large which prevents me from just using a 50mm motor…
What to do? The motor mount is just bolted in…I could fashion a new bracket…? What would that cost @cmatson?Edit: it looks aluminum…I don’t have the proper tools to machine it down flat…looks like a vice …a drill and some sort of grind stone…
Any suggestions?
Does the motor have to be perfectly flat against your mount? if not, then the waviness could stay, and you could just add a bracket.
I guess the only problem you may run into is not having the NTM shaft be long enough, but the motor pulley can hang off the shaft a little without any problems- I just don’t know how far out it may have to go…
I’ve decided…just to grind the snot out of till it’s almost even lol
Might just drag it behind the car with a wieght on it till it’s flat hahahh
I’m assuming it’s aluminum, so be sure to use sandpaper/flap wheel, not a grinding wheel. The aluminum can fill the pores of the wheel and it can explode. If it is steel then obviously a grinding wheel will be fine
It’s aluminum…I’ll need to hit it a little at a time…
Humm…looks like this truck by exkate CAN hold an 80mm wheel with a cog…and the molded ring with holes in the truck make it possible to attach a custom motor mount…
What to do? Grind the mount (use the existing mount) …Make a mount (some sort of metal plate) … Or find a mount (will @torqueboards DIY mount fit)
I’ll give you my old ADS mount. Use a really big steel washer cut into a C shape and flattened out for the mount, and put the ads motor plate right in line with the truck’s flange. If your pulley is 9mm then that mounting flange looks to be about 7mm ish.
Awesome my brother lol … Feeding the addiction lol
Well ground the crap out of the mount to make it flat-ish with a drill and a rasping bit…
From this

Hey bro…I’m gonna drop off the other belt today for you…what’s your Friday look like @thisrealhuman?
Been slacking on this project…
We are gonna try using the prop adapter to help mount the motor and see if that aligns the motor.
A soft fit seems to show the correct spacing between the wheel pulley and the motor pulley.
I will not be using the Orginal wheels…I don’t think the wheels and the plastic pully will hold up and could be dagerous if they break.
That’s just fast enough to get thrown off by an acorn! Hell yes. Now we’re talking speed!
I’m tryin my best to put a 50mm can in there lol
