Added some off-road wheels from dickyho to prepare for the winter season/not get hurled by potholes. The big wheels really soak up any imperfections in the road, despite their rather hard durometer. Very happy with them. LRM_EXPORT_91492575520703_20181205_104313111 LRM_EXPORT_91619040209187_20181205_104519576

How’s the change in range/speed with the new wheels? Nicely done budget build. I probably should have done a more budget friendly build my first go. Oh well. Lol

Speed is about the same. I discussed with dicky and convinced him to make the wheel pulleys 60T rather than the original 44T. They way my gearing ratio remains consistent. I haven’t noticed a bit decrease in range really, I think that’s due to how hard these wheels are. I’ve never ridden true pneumatics, but I imagine this is a nice middle ground without losing too much range.

Nice build I love it !

You can change your Wheel pulley without changing your belt or motor pulley ? I never asked or thought about it but I just wanted to know if it was possible !

He changed the pulley and belt length too, believe the belt is 395mm.

Noob question here: what’s the point of bearings around belts ?

They are called idler pulleys and allow the belt to wrap around a bigger section of the pulley, decreasing the chance of the belt slipping. This also means you can run the belts a little looser, increasing efficiency slightly and being less stressful on the motor bearing and belt.

Nice ! So if I have one 36T Wheel pulley, one 15T motor pulley with a 265mm belt I should be able to switch to 34 or 44T on my wheel pulley without problems ?

Can’t say without knowing your exact motor mount. Also wouldn’t recommend running those ratios because you’d be sacrificing huge amounts of torque and acceleration.

Street wing.

I was just asking, I don’t want to change mine but theorically it should work fine, thanks !

Did you change the truck? It looks longer than before

Yes, the kit I bought from Dickyho came with extended Paris Truck clones.

New battery is in! Thanks to @hyperIon1 , I have my 12s2p 30Q battery in. Due to the snowy weather, I haven’t been fully able to test out these batteries, but so far they’re definitely worth the higher top speed. I’ve also used some ws2812b led’s and flashlights integrated into the battery enclosure of the board, powered by a disassembled power bank. I’ve just installed my metr.pro (courtesy of HyperIon) and will be uploading some stats soon. Anyways, enjoys these photos I took!
