Archived: the OG noob question thread! 😀

Idk but CAN by definition is a 2-wire communication protocol… That seems a little odd. :confused:

@Ahrav because they aren’t the same core as ABEC. You can try heatsink maybe that might tighten things up a bit?

Thanks. Glad to know there is a potential fix although I think I’m gonna stick with the Arctic Blues instead. Just got the adapters as an alternative.

Well, mine are exactly the same as my ABEC 107s.

EDIT: I’m wrong. There’s more slop than I remembered. Just checked and FML. Sorry, guys and TB.

That is an excellent way to go. You are set.

That’s strange. Can you do some measurements on the ABEC pins and core if possible?

A certain remote manufacturer won’t allow me to discuss this here.

EDIT : vbeltguys want 18€ shipping + 6€ handling for 4 belts. fuck that

They’re the same, just from different manufacturers/distributors. Some folks insist on only buying belts made by D&D, for example.

There are different versions of HTD belts, however. You can get them with different belt material (Neoprene or polyurethane) and different tension members: Fiberglass, carbon fiber, steel, or Kevlar/aramid. Each has advantages and disadvantages. The go-to is neoprene and fiberglass, or maybe kevlar.

Try these guys. https://www.vbeltsupply.com/ IDK where you’re located, so shipping may just be a bitch no matter who you go with.

Can anyone confirm if you can or can’t get a 5.5mm bullet with shrink wrap through a PG7 cable gland?

I’d go with PG9 except 14awg wire (at least what I have) squeezes to 3mm so the PG9 seems too big

I just checked with a M12 one (which is .5mm smaller / the same size as a PG7, judging from the amazon description), and it does not fit through. Needs to be at least 2mm wider. Sucks, I didn’t even think about the connector getting through.

I have had really good luck with D&D belts. Never had one clean break like some other brands. One time I had a D&D belt half shear apart, it stuck together by a thread for another 10 miles and got me home. Only downside is they seem to be thicker on average and tends to have more drivetrain drag.

I honestly don’t know why our calculators have separate values for that. Only reason I can think of is if you have a cell that heats up a lot at the max discharge, like the samsung 40T.

Just use the same value for both.

Does anyone know the dimensions/measurements for a reg rkp kingpin? I’m trying to get one but shorter. I have checked a few online stores to get the size but they don’t indicate it other than the length.

For what kind of truck? I’m not sure there’s a standard as bushing height changes, etc
