Boardnamics M1-AT Drive | Helical Steel MTB/AT Gear Drive

Ooh yeah. While I’m sure my video is very helpful I do wish that I had started from zero, but we assembled the drives at Kevins house so I didn’t have that opportunity haha

Glad you figured it out

The spacer for the inside hub to pulley is different than the one hub to axle nut if that helps. Atleast in the kit I assembled

did you put yours on 3ds axles? you did right?

Nah I assembled on airs.
But I did have 3ds gears on the airs as well.

It’s pretty straight forward. The alignment for the drives to be the same angle was more a pain in the ass for me :joy:

I can actually disassemble mine later maybe. I need to flip my board back to goofy

the Kaly had 3ds gears?

I did the inner spacer trick on the Airs like you suggested, it worked well for me to avoid the ugly extra axle length on the outside part. It made me sad as an engineer to decrease the contact surface but I think it still has more than enough (15 to 20mm at least)

Put two pieces of plywood or similar material below the adapter so you dont scratch the adapter/truck, and use a rubber mallet to hammer the axle

Yep, that or an arbor press. I’m surprised it’s so tight on those precision trucks though. The Apex air adapter was a near-perfect slip fit

I could have also put a spacer behind the adapter to the axle…

but I dont think I am going to pull the adapters off again

just gonna put a spacer on the outside

this is what I am staring at currently…

and I think I might stop for the night.

I need to cut the freaking motor shafts.
and 10 m4 bolts.

If you talking about for the wheels I thought they were m4x45 (not sure now). If that’s the case I have a ton extra I’ll give you
