Don’t worry about the tapered end, that is not a problem. Just the profile needs sanding. Strange how my set went on without any modification. Must be a wide variety of tolerances on those things.

After mine didn’t fit after aggressive sanding, I just accepted I wouldn’t get them off easy and used an arbor press to push the adapters on the matrix II hanger

@ShutterShock Hey Ryan. You mentioned in your video there was a lot of filing you did. what tools did you use?
Hey man - I just used a set of the small diamond files
Took me about 30 minutes, test fitting and whatnot - then I ended up pressing it on anyways, not sure if I could take it off now or not
Thanks buddies.
Dremel and Aluminum oxide tip nicely filed the hanger. It’s nice and snug and takes 2 hands to push in and out. Success and relief!

Awesome! I’m sure Dremel would be faster, I just didn’t want to over cut when I did mine

dremel for everything
Hand files and a bit of finesse is the way to go, paint with a sharpie and hit the areas that get scratched clean
I’m running into my next problem. Using the V2 drives. The motor seems super low to the ground. (Right side in photo)
The next position leaves no room for the motor (left side).
Thoughts?

these have 5 spokes so it would be possible to attach rods to give it the same mounting as an MBS wheel.
Could you reply to your dm ?
should the dirves be loctited to the hangar?
No need, they will stay on firmly when you install the wheel, spacers, and the axle nut

Red loctite the axles in place, and blue loctite the rest of the screws (unless they go into a nylock)
