That is pretty pricey. The bigger the more expensive… Now that I look at it the dimensions are the same for both. Is it trying to cut the canvas as well haha? And are you trying to make your own clamp also, would be easier to use an existing clamp if possible.

I saw the part builder just today. That’s usable for the clamp.
I might not do the open “c” design and just use a closed “o” with grub screws.
Resisting exotic materials in favor of working build.

For which trucks? Do you have an idea of where the idlers are going to go. No interest in gears?

I’m not the biggest fan of gears. Maybe bc I haven’t run helicals
This set up used stock Nazare belt lengths and I have 8 titanium motor pulleys already.
I’m not concerned about belt breaks. And if that is an issue, I’ll go with polyurethane carbon fiber belts. Gates says equivalent to roller chain. Can’t argue with that.

Get one super wide belt, flip it inside out, and slide it over your motor cans…

Hey stop trying to derail me or I’m telling to mods and you are going to derail jail!
Damn it, I made through 30 mins of becu and transitioned to tellurium copper alloys and realized that’s what the kweld electrodes are made of. Wait, what am I even doing here?

Just to be clear, aluminum is probably a better choice LOL
But it’s funny
AMS7911 does look intriguing though

Some pretty decent vibrations on there, even on the bench. Planning some cross bracing between motor mounts?

Yeah that’s gonna address side to side vibrations and movement of each plate but with two motors on each plate, that brace isn’t going to restrain possible twisting of the plates.
@Arzamenable (as inelegant as it looks on my crappy sketch) something like this would probably provide more effective support?

I wonder if there’s a way to fit five motors on each truck.

Direct drive + hub drive + triple belt/gear drive?

No, I was thinking more like a double belt plus 1 gear on the left wheel — and a chain plus belt on the right wheel.

yes, but plate was 0.125 in, 6061 aluminum, there was no cross bar stabilizer, and most significantly, bc I stubbornly shaped this myself on a band saw, I just cut straight through the motor bolt pattern for ease. (Arrows)
Also only used two fasteners that were not terribly tight.
Thanks for pointing this out. That gif was a proof of spacing and ability to spin.
But yeah,

@Titoxd1000 and anyone else, that link for the step file is up and open for anyone to edit.
the high school and college robotics competitions have every permutation of this in cad or implemented on their robot. limited motor choices, so just add more.
what about #TwoCansOneShaft ? I got a product in stock for you right now, “The Backshafter”. (not April fools)
