Helical gear ratios are not as extensive though… and no prime numbers

this…
I wanted quiet helicals…
but I love this noise.

Is there a reverse calculator?

Drives are now available for purchase on www.mooneskate.com

Kegel adapters

Any reason to go 10mm shaft, vs 8mm shaft for the pinions?

Also, fyi @moon , small mistake on the description of the “Wheel Gear Type” text:

Please note that the POM Helical gears and POM Spur Gears are in BETA testing.

I assume that was supposed to say “Steel Spur Gears are in BETA”

Purchased #1265 thanks moon!

Thanks for the correction I did leave this to the last minute

8mm shaft motors let you run the drives in the shortest gearing offerings like 9T-8mm MOD 2 spur gears.

one data pt -
I went with 47:10 straight cut POM spur. For the lower weight, and the ideal ratio for me.

By my calculations (170kv, 30 wh/km, 75% efficiency) this gives

15mi range
27.5 ftlbs torque
32mph max loaded speed (200mm wheels)
26.5mph max loaded speed (155mm wheels)

@Moon Currently done about 400km on the batch 5 drives, looking into the helicals (even tho I love the sound of straight cut) the 10t helical is that for fixed position on batch 5 or does it need manual tuning, also the wheel gears do they come in pairs or single ?

moon · July 19, 2021, 9:53am

Needs manual tuning

Buy 2 of these

And one of this

Doesn’t work with batch 4 or I would be all over it

Tamatoa · July 19, 2021, 6:45pm

I forgot which batch I got mine from, @moon is there something that would help me identify it?

moon · July 20, 2021, 9:57am

You have batch 2

BenjaminF · July 20, 2021, 4:13pm

@moon I notice that the beta Hypertrucks clamps are available. Has there been any update to those? Are they working now? Should they not be ordered until further notice?

fessyfoo · July 21, 2021, 6:12pm

stop making me want more things. i’m settled on the noise. … I think. man quiet is nice too. damn you.

A13XR3 · July 23, 2021, 1:47am

I ordered them in this batch

sleepless · July 25, 2021, 1:07am

@moon , what’s the shortest shaft length that you think would work with these?

I.e. a set of TB motors cut for BN drives at 22mm

Deimos · July 25, 2021, 11:12am

Wanted to know exactly this as well

moon · July 25, 2021, 11:42am

For batch 5 onwards 25.5-26mm is the recommended length.

Max shaft length is 26mm

You might be able to get away with using shorter shafts but I tried it myself.
