are the cans loose?

Is the circle clip suppose to fit snug on the motor shaft?
Because mine can be spin around on the motor shaft and seems loose…
But it is the same for my other motor and it didn’t seems to cause any noise…

It might be…
I can move the can if I apply some force on to it :thinking:

as long as the circle clip is in the small gap which made for it on the shaft it can spin a bit, no problem.
but between the circle clip and the motor should be some very thin washers. if you push the shaft from the front, does your motor can move a bit to the back or can“t you push the can backwards?

Does somebody know some good 12mm bearings for mbs matrix 2 trucks?

Trampa website or mbs.

I just ordered 10 from AliExpress to try. They were dirty cheap. I don’t have high hopes for them to last.

Any major difference between both? And why a 3d printer? I don’t have one but my friends do.


Tap the end of the shaft (where it meets the pulley) with a rubber mallet and CAREFULLY tighten the screws that secure the can to the shaft. Don’t strip the threads! Check to see if the cans are now solid. If the problem persists put some loctite on the screws.

The major difference is woth uart you plug it in and don’t have to do a Setup + you have a reverse function.
With PPM you have to do the input setup and loose the reverse function.

3D printer because the Receiver is fairly fragile with its 90 degree angle.

I designed a Case for it (shameless plug)

The case is super hard to break. a bit bulkier but better than a broken receiver.

So if I have a focbox there isn’t really a point to plug that in the PPM connector in it? I’ve heard about some extra functionality that PPM comes with, but I don’t know what are they.
And using your case, it breaks the connector a bit when we try to push it in? :cold_sweat:
ā€œTO install it, you just take the JST/UART connector and feed it through the bottom, but it will likely crack in its current state because there is not yet enough space.ā€

Yes the can moves if I push the shaft inwards :fearful:
It kinda moves a little bit making the gap in my previous photo bigger but it will go back to its place after i let go…

@MysticalDork already answered and debunked what was wrong

I hear what he said about the single motor let off, I really think negative throttle rate will help you fix this instead of deal with this. It makes it so you don’t just drop momentum immediately when letting go of throttle. Happy to fuck off and stop suggesting as well, I just like you :heart_eyes:

Hi!
Curious how many mm are your pulleys?

I’m going to buy belts and I have 15mm pulleys should I buy 15mm or 12mm belts?

Wider belts are always better if you have the room

Is there a way to remove the chin strap on a TSG Pass without cutting it? It keeps getting in the way and I never use it, but I still want the possibility to use it if I ever go fast

Might as well take the helmet off if you aren’t gonna use the strap! But seriously even if the helmet fits tight without it wear the strap and do it up as tight as you can comfortably.

There is an audible pop when I pull it off my head and it’s never come loose but that’s a fair point. The problem is I will be getting on and off the board 20 times a day because classes
