nah the latter happened to me with first batch of moon drives (which was user error) and the gear just broke and I kept rolling. Only reason I even considered this.
Pom is tougher than my aluminum gear, i doubt any gear will break, its just easier to block the wheel and throw you off, even if the gears get super close you will just get a lot of drag instead of blocking
Atleast thats the case with my 3dservisas GD, more wear on alu gear than on pom
Sounds like a massive stator…
please say that was intentional
It was.
Tanka, tanka very much. I’ll be here all week, tip your servers!
@moon What’s the time line for the nkp 3-link mounting plate?
Also, will any 8055 motor mount? I’m guessing I’ll need an adapter.
Thank you
Early May.
You will need an adaptor. 80mm motors usually have 10 or 12mm shafts. please confirm what motors you want to use as bolt pattern may vary
I am recommending people to sign up to the mailing list on my site. Just scroll to the bottom of the site and enter your email.
I’ll announce a release date ahead of time so there is a bit more of an equal opportunity at getting the drives.
Will the drives that restock soon still have a 9t fixed position hole for the pinion? Specifically for the helical. Wife wants me to build her a board so we can “spend time together” and will need a set of drives hahaha
She’s a keeper, fella!
Yes
Fixed ratio will be for 5.2/1 straight cut POM
Would it work doing a wheel adapter with rockstar 2 spoke slots (like Lee did on those direct drives), so it’s easy to swap out a wheel?
Yes I have something designed to fit both rockstars and superstars. Thanks for the reminder
Will be coming soon
Is there an eta on the steel gears?
steel waiting on that one
Sometime in May
Working on the SRB 3-Links first as I want the steel gears to work with those trucks
Looking forward to the drop, they look excellent,
Are the moon drives compatible with a motor cage? If not, that could be a neat idea, could even release a file for a 3d printed cage so people can modify/print their own or sell them yourself for those without a printer.
