Great!
More annoying questions:
On phatlads hubs there is an outer and inner bolt pattern. By default they come with screws on the outer side.
Can i use the inner holes to mount directly on the geardrive? It would be significantly easier to replace a flat with a complete spare like this i think.
Also, is there anything at all in the works to add mud covers? At least a 3dprint i hope

Yep, that’s the point.
I bought 5 phatladz to have an inflated spare wheel in a backpack, ready to go on both front and back xD

They should work, you do need to cut the shaft of the motor to make it shorter. And the keyway cutout is shorter than the standard size. I believe it only fits a 8x3 mm keway, I cut down a 12 mm one. Plus you need to close the gap between the internal motor faceplate and the motor pinion with a brass collar/spacer, this keeps the motor can in place. The motors come with this collar, you just need to cut it to the right length to gap the space perfectly. So before you attach the motor pinion, line everything up and measure the distance. The brass collar also sits a little inside the faceplate so make sure you take that distance into account as well.

That’s my plan as well.
Got 2 to see how they compare to fivestars and they look sooo much better, bearings fit correctly, spacer included, trucks made to fit, etc.
And the 9 inch mudplugger tyre… damn.
It’s gonna be a beast with these drives

@Fosterqc you are right they are 20 x 20.
@DANGItsVictor they were clearing out the V1’s They were on sale
If you bought it here: FatBoy320 V1 Solid CNC Machined Hanger for MBS Metal Matrix II Top Bas – 3DServisas Its a V1 aka 22x22 like everyone else. (trampa, apex, etc)
It doesn’t look like V2s are for avalible for stand alone sale yet 
Those are 20x20 and doesn’t work with anything else 
Glad you confirmed this though. Now I know the older 3ds drives are compatible with apex trucks and moon trucks too
