TWO Of these bad boys just arrived by in the mail :ok_hand::ok_hand::ok_hand::metal::metal::metal::metal:image

Paging Psychotiller??? Where are you??? Need me some trucks and mounts for these things :weary::man_shrugging::man_shrugging::man_shrugging:

Be careful with the settings on those maytech vescs. I would recommend very conservative settings in BLDC to avoid cutouts and dead electronics.

Vescs I have are from torque boards if that’s what’s your referring too? Haven’t had an issue yet and have had them at very conservative settings :+1:

Paging @psychotiller where ARE YOU???

Anyone know where psychotiller is? Holidays ? Not answering emails it’s been weeks man :man_shrugging::flushed::flushed::flushed::flushed::face_with_raised_eyebrow::weary::confounded:

Hey guys can you chase this up for me again I still need to replace my 6355 cans the request number is #11287. My remote has died now the stupid charging port broke off​:flushed::woman_facepalming:

Ok so starting death sled phase two I am going to build an enclosure for my VESCs’ remote receiver out of carbon fibre

Started mocking up from some old skateboard decks and my slide saw… aim is to try take the sharp edge away at the front a little

Finally got these in the mail they are sexy as f$ck took 6 weeks to finally arrive. Will take some getting used to these weird hangers that tighten from the outside. First problem is my maytech motors have only 26mm of axle but should be able to make it work. May need to turn down some spacers a bit more to get the pulley in as close to the truck mount as I can.

These mounts look bullet proof

Have started ordering some stuff to reterm my Maytechs to 5.5mm bullets to suit the TB Vesc’s

Found a good eBay supplier in oz if you guys here need these

Also got some better hardened bolts for motor mounts in oz from these guys with a bit more length

And some 10mm sealed bearing which look pretty good from these guys in Oz too

First of all thank you to @DexterEsk8 for coming through and sending me some replacement cans mentioned earlier in this story

Can’t say enough about torque boards they are awesome :clap: although I have run into one snag the 55mm cans have grown somewhat to the originals :scream::scream::scream::scream::scream::scream::tired_face::tired_face::tired_face::sob::sob::sob::sob::triumph::triumph::triumph::triumph::triumph::triumph::sob::sob::sob::sob::sob::sob:

The can now rubs on the inside it’s about 2mm too long now…will have to work out a spacer for them

I did notice they have improved the glue and the retaining ring is definitely bigger

I hate this stupid enclosure how it’s sits up so far I’m gonna router down the centre a bit and try get it to sit flatter

I hope you mean youre gonna take it out of the enclosure and not the board… cutting tool on a dremel might be easier

Nut gonna burn a hole in the deck with my router… well that was the plan :joy:

Going to have to take off heaps to even get a small reduction at the edges :woman_facepalming:
