It’s all the same, just bolt pattern changed.

Can you send a picture of the motor mount installed?
You saw it already in my thread, or what do you want to know exactly?
Ooh yeah
The distance between the mounts please
I guess almost 200mm
The c2c distance on gear drives is much smaller so the motors will likely hit the baseplate

It’s more like 225mm. I can tell you tomorrow the exact distance.
This is the first version btw. So they require the adapter plates.

What allows @Andy87 to run your gear drives on matrix 2s and not me? Just the width of the hubs?
If so, wouldn’t axle extensions alleviate the issue? I really want the closed gear drive for the offroad and snow riding but I also need 9" tires.
Maybe with etoxx inset hubs and his adapter plate the width would be fine

You want 9" hubs with the gear drive? Use MBS fivestars?

Nope. I’ll take my lightweight fivestars any day. Even Joel from mbs rides them over the pros.
Well, bang on then and I’ll send you my monies soon.

Just an idea for easier grease access, without the need to open up the whole system.
Grease nipple.

Good idea, but does the grease even need to be refilled ever during normal usage? Put it in when assembling the drive, and then forget about it, no?
Yeah, I have a grease pump here. Just for the convenience, when I forgot to put grease in during the assembling.
The drives already have a grease port.
It’s closed with a normal screw.

That depends on the drive.
There is always a small gap between the wheel gear and the case.
Even if you use a v ring seal there might be some small loses over time.
Also convenient for first assembly when you not sure if the grease is enough or not you can easy add a bit up afterwards.

but if you can’t visually see how much is in there, how can you tell you don’t have enough? sound?
