Acedeck Nyx Z3 or something else?

[AlexB]

I’m not sure what the measurement is on the @MBS drives - maybe they have an available shop drawing to peek at?

I know the Newbee 4GS is also very similar and was close to the Z3, but not the same. I made adapters for those so you could run the Newbee wheel plates with the Z3 drives using my TPU printed shock pad adapter, but I plan to make one that’s a straight fit using the stock shock pad etc

I took a look at the Agent assembly video and the hub drive looks to be the same inner diameter as the OD of the bearings, which looks very close to the Z3.

I’m waiting to hear back from MBS for dimensions.

Travelling at the moment, so limited access to cad, but here is a screenshot with basic dims of the coupler cushion… the diamer of the little cylindrical cushions is 6mm. Hope it works for your application.

Thanks, that’s the info I need. Won’t fit the Z3 so I’ll have to make an adapter.

For general info, the Z3 is

28.20mm ID
42.60mm cushion center circle
5mm cylindrical cushion diameter

Made the adapter, started another thread to include other future mods I may do:

I wanted to run the wider MBS tires on my Z3 so had to make drive adapters. I’m not a machinist but a friend is, retired, and he has some older lathes and a mill so he let me use them and gave me suggestions on how to do it. Huge pain the ass to recreate the drive pattern, at least for me, but I got it done. Original Z3 drive coupler pattern I needed to copy: [Drive Adapter] Bought a chunk of 4 inch aluminum and went at it: [Adapter1] [Adapter2] And mounted: [New Tires] If I had to …

Acedeck says they changed the shock design and there is a special wrench to adjust them. They’ll send me one if I want it…um yeah, kinda need it…

Now Acedeck says the wrench they designed doesn’t work well because there isn’t enough room to turn it They are now using ones with holes again and they’ll send me new ones if I want. I told them I’ll just drill holes in the ones I have, faster and easier than waiting for new ones and taking it apart to put them on.

Acedeck says the rings I have are too thin to drill and might weaken so I requested they send the new rings with holes. Frankly they should send them out automatically to everyone who has the old style. Seems like a cost cutting measure that didn’t work out as planned.
