Straight cut upgrade
In progress
Yeah baby. Ditch that helical shit.
What gear ratio are your straight cuts?
3.8 ratio dude.
Pinion removal went well, but then got stalled because I couldn’t find the dremel bit I needed to lengthen the motor mounting holes.
Probably need another 4 or 5mm of length to bring the motor pinion closer to the big hub gear. Hardware shop today.
Might need to dremel the motor mount slots for proper mesh
Yup I definitely do.
Need to buy new dremel bits today first
Supa Karts indoor track night was awesome
Board went well, excel RS were really grippy and bindings helped with the tight corners.
Really happy with how it performed
What’s wrong with helical? I alway sthought it was better (and more silent)
I’m just a basic bitch.
An extra failure point which isn’t needed
Plus straight cut zooms sound cool
Who prefer it straight, got it
Truth be told i’d prefer belts or even hub motors
Time and place.
Neither of those is on this board tho
Sorry, derail
Are any of the other guys who raced here on the forum? What was the competition like!?
@Byson organised it, not sure about others.
Only the third time we have been there (2nd for me) and hasn’t been regular so speed / competition has been pretty mellow so far. If we get more regular I think should get faster and more competitive.
Top three times (maybe?) today all faster than best time from last visit.
Nice. It feels like racing is really starting to make a name everywhere now!
Dude it was super fun tonight. Last time i was there on my Achilles build with venom mags and had not too much grip. This was super grippppy.
Got some of those ennui palm sliders you recommended - worked well on the one spill I had tonight.
Was a lot of fun for sure, APPARITION is a beast that’s for sure don’t think the photos do it justice. The other 2 top times were done by a modded flux with 63100 170kv motors un sure on VESC settings 3rd was on an Atlas Pro 2WD.
