no but im a quick study
shit I just realized you could tighten it through the other side of the truck and not worry about taking ground clearance. It would be in you foot/deck so other problems.
I liked this idea:
build the gearbox into the hanger maybe use two small motors to keep it balanced single motor drives dont have issues with this

Thas what we are shooting for yes.
Two motors might be a complexity we can avoid.
Id say just a hanger with a bearing on one side, motor with mount on the other

Actually thats a good question.
Does teh nut move with teh hanger/ axle ?
If not then this is much simpler
yes there is. used these for my old work ~2 years ago. These are popular gear reducers and you can find a bunch of them on alibaba, get the model number, and type it in on grabcad
I hate it when my hanger does that

What about this layout @Fosterqc ?
Red and orange are gears (still need to be 30/1)
The gear around hte nut needs depth to accomodate teh travel as it tightens but conceptually what do you thinkl?

Or this? This one seems a bit drunken. it moves the mehanics to the inside, but thats probably worse becasue thats where mos people have enclosures

The gears were reversed. it wouldve been a speed increase rather than torque increase
