I’m looking into making herringbone gear for my DIY Trampa and I was curious what program or design software you used to make your gear pairs? Thanks

I use fusion 360, and pretty sure this is the add-on to generate helical gears, that you can then mirror and join to generate herringbone gears.

Ok I’ll check it out. I also found SCAD example but just thought to see if there was easier way. Thanks

Random update time, not much going on.
My belts started skipping on my worn down 20T motor pullies. So, I took some time this weekend to beautify and refresh the board a bit while changing up the gearing.
- Desperately needed new grip tape - old was literally chunking off it was that stale, new stuff is heavy grit for the feet, standard elsewhere.
- New wheel pulleys (15:32) needed bearing insert spacers printed - no skipping ever!
- Zealous ceramics got cleaned, Teflon lubed and white lithium greased - so smooth!
Otherwise, I’ve gone through many damp paper towels cleaning this thing up. Winter, snow melt, salt and mud are a bitch.

I like how the carry handle allows it to sit on its side. I always get really annoyed trying to work on mine while its on its side and it keep tipping over.

Hey! Finally made it low. I probably don’t want to go any lower… I’ll need to really watch out for cracks and shit now. Whatever!

Went out for a quick ride- Hooked up esc monitor. Calibrated controller. Turned on board. Started rolling. Accelerated just fine for a few seconds until it went full brake. Then it stopped. And it shot out from under me full speed in reverse. I just watched my board fly full speed into the curb, motors first. Thankfully it stopped there. The motors seem fucked. My boost converter thing is probably fucked. The enclosures seem fine, hopefully I can salvage the components.
What would cause this kind of behavior? A faulty receiver?

My board goes absolutely nuts for the last few minutes of power of the remote battery. Just random accel and braking. Could be as simple as faulty info from the remote because low battery. Or the receiver could be at fault.
What remote you using?

Nano-X. I’ve never had any issues like this with low battery. I can tell when it’s low because it will start blinking for a while, then the LED will dim out to nothing and it was solid bright green.

I’ve literally had zero issues… I wonder if it’s really the remote. I’ll be bench testing quite a bit once I get another board built up before trusting this remote (or any of these electronics depending what it is) again.

It looks like I’ll be able to salvage almost everything. I took apart both motors and only one magnet is partially cracked… I applied some glue to it, hopefully that will help it hold until my DDs come in. After powering everything on it seems to run like normal.
The only thing I’m a bit wary of is just replacing the baseplate, bolting everything together and rolling on like nothing happened… I need to get to the bottom of this.
Interesting. Finally after my fall a while ago, i went for a ride with my nano-x controller. Out of nowhere i had a drop out.
Luckily i was going like 10mph and rolled my ass through a stop sign. Luckily in my neighborhood and like 2 mins from the house.
That literally shattered my confidence. Turned the board off. Detached belts…pushed back to the house and tossed the nano x to the shit box.
Now patiently waiting to buy the midnight blk hoyt puck. And going back to the mini remote and maytech thumb remote from here on out

Did you have reverse enabled?
Just curious, if it went full speed forward what would it have crashed into?
