First Look at TorqueBoards Direct Drive Motor

You’re right, the startup cogging in the beginning sounds normal. Regarding the rest of the sound, if those were mine i’d ride them for a bit and see if it gets worse. I wouldn’t push them too hard for a little while until you know its either getting worse or better. If your motors are faulty you should have no issues getting them replaced or fixed, and if it goes away that’s even better. One of my motors sounded a little odd and didn’t spin as well as the other when I first got them but after a couple rides out they both spin perfect and now I couldn’t tell you which motor it was.

Could I get some type of reply por favor Dex @torqueboards. It sucks not being able to use these things again so just trying to find out what you want/need me to do so that I can get these things back under my feet. LMk, I shot you an emaila and hit you up on ESK8 news as well

@mikenyc do your baseplates fit caliber, kahua or surfrodz trucks?

@mikenyc ''The hangers of the Kahua truck are forged and precision milled with super-strong 12mm diameter / 8mm stepped axles and a 50-degree baseplate.

340mm total truck width with axles made of extremely strong carbon steel.

The hangers fit Caliber II baseplates.’’

So should work with caliber baseplates?

Yeah sounds like they should match up just fine.

@torqueboards I saw the announcement about the AT wheels, they look great! What I don’t see is a way to order them for the direct drive setup. Is that coming soon? Thanks!

@ClarkMitchell Haven’t fully tested it yet but once fully tested we’ll get the drive wheel adapters in production.

@marcmt88 has AT mounts I think for the TB Direct Drive. They are better quality but at a higher price.

Looking good indeed !!! Any approximate date for the release, and a price connected to them ?

By the way, I participated in a race in Czech Republic, the X1 race in the city of Brno, many people were interested in my TD DD 90KV, and all of them were baffled by the smoothness and the torque past 15km/h.

The cameraman followed me for few laps:

Again, good job on them :wink:

I almost hit the 1000 km on them, will post here my update after all that distance.

Glad your enjoying it! Hopefully in about 1-2 months we’ll release the AT kit. :smiley:
