Just picked up some six shooters because I don’t have the commitment to go full Trampa yet and my Torqueboards 12s4p with single 6374 motor runs amazingly as is. I always like to get all my ducks in a row when I order something and found the website a little confusing, but it’s probably just my inexperience still. I currently use 14/36T gearing with my Torqueboards build and I saw that it comes with the wheel pulleys but was wondering if my 14T pulley’s would suffice or if I might have to switch out. Secondly, I can only assume I need to use different belts than the HTD-265-5M’s I’m using. Can anyone give a little knowledge as to gearing and belt size for these wheels so I can have my stuff prepared to hit the streets when they arrive? @psychotiller
In the esk8 calculator enter wheel and motor pulley teeth count, motor kv, diameter of new wheels, battery S count and use 85% of efficiency, this will give you the correct wheel pulley teeth count for the required target speed.
Congrats on ordering the six shooters. Which size pulleys did you ask for? The choice is 60T or 42T. I personally use 60T because I don’t want to go 42mph and I wanted the torque. I weigh in at about 220lb. I found that using less than 15T motor pulleys would give me a bit of belt slip when braking. I bought extra versa pulleys from a supplier close by me so I could add an extra piece and use 15mm wide belts.
Here is my setup on the esk8 calculator. Running 4:1. I’m using surfrodz tkp’s so this is plenty fast.
Yup send him a message. They are 12mm 42T or 60T. He also has 12mm wide 16T motor pinions and 340 and 345mm length belts too and more sizes. If you figure it out in time you can save on shipping from somewhere else.
So I ordered these almost 3 weeks ago now and am not getting replies from @psychotiller Anyone else having issues reaching him? No replies to my messages
Hey man, been checking it and hadn’t seen any messages, I’ve got patience and no need for a refund, I just wanted an update and wasn’t seeing one, no stress, just wanted an update!
