Upgrading the motor on a bought skateboard

Yes, I mean the pulley.

There are some ‘‘general to use’’ settings, but you will need to watch a couple of videos or go through some pictures to truly understand which settings are best. (if u choose to use vesc)

Yeah okay. I will try to do that. Thank you for your help :slight_smile:

You should inspect what kind of belt u have… is it HTD 5 or HTD3

Then you can inspect the ‘‘axle’’ of the motor…

Whenever it has a ‘‘flat side’’ or flange…

So there are 2 types of pulleys… and you need to find out which one you need… either with screw or that little metal piece


Take a look at this thread:

Sometimes they are stuck… and that’s all… will be hard to take them off unless you buy the tool…

This one might also help:

Forgot to mention - before you take off anything, try to count how many teeth your pulley already has… Pulleys are in different ‘‘sizes’’… But just find out whenever you got 15Teeth one… or smaller… and then you can check out can you find 18T or even 20T pulley… Though it might mess a bit with belt, so in the end, if you cannot move your motor around, you might end up buying a different size belt too…

So yes, these 2 things:

Teeth of the motor pulley right now Motor position - is it possible to move the motor a bit to one side or another, while it is still bolted?

I’ll go exploring. Thanks again, it helped a lot.
