Boardnamics M1 Gear Drive + Other News

80amps. The torque with 2.20 and 6374s is still strong. It was enough to lift my front leg up if my weight wasn’t properly distributed.

[tfilkins]

Bro I’m running 80 amps aswell. We basically have the same build . It’s sick bro.

Anyone mounted 6380’s on the M1 with 220 under the board with the new adjustable base plates?

[Skatardude10]

Yep

30 degrees is a comfortable fit with good road and board clearance. I bumped it down from the next higher angle because truck clearance was close and road clearance wasn’t as good.

I usually take it in after about 100m and check bolts and do a visual once-over, then ride it about 2-5km reaching higher speeds, then do another looksee and then maybe when I’m comfortable start breaking into the higher speeds.

Yeah I’m so paranoid on anything new (well, maybe not paranoid given my skill level) that I’m constantly checking for anything shaking loose or getting suspiciously hot for a good week or so. Takes some of the fun out of it but I’d rather that than take a leg out

[Paul77]

So I’m running 50 in the back and with my angled tail that makes it 40. I wonder if that will work, can you post a pic when you have a chance of wheels on the ground to see those angles?

Is it possible to use red loctite (262) instead of green to lock the motor gear?

Also I’ve seen green loctite numbered 2xx and 6xx, what’s the difference and which one is recommended!

[Dizzie]

I used 271 and let it cure the full 24 hours and it was solid. I ended up having to take my motors off so I had to remove it and couldn’t do it without a torch and even then it was still hard to get off.

[Paul77]

Did you remove it with one of the motor puller tools & heat @Venom121212 recommend to get, I think he does his with just that tool no heat.

Loctites: Differences And Their Uses

What different loctites should i use. i hear red is for permanent stuff, and to lock in place things but not permanently blue or green. but in reality there is all this https://henkeladhesivesna.com/henkeldocs/LT-6540_AN_RemovableReliable_SS_v11_Final_Links.pdf what is the difference between 242 and 290?

[BruSkater]

So it seems that 6XX is for retaining and 262 is good for thread locking. Then I assume that 262 won’t be ideal for this use case?

[ChrisLips]

Correct. You want retaining compound for this job.

Threadlocker (Loctite) Guide - Wiki

There’s a few threads on this, but this question gets asked constantly by new and experienced builders. This wiki should be a one stop shop for those questions. Please update as you see fit. Editor’s request: Stop referring to threadlocker by colors. As you can see below, there are many grades, each with very specific properties and applications, in many different bottle colors and liquid colors. There’s hundreds more that aren’t listed here. Colors are vague and spread confusion more than help…

Going to cut my motor shafts.

Should I be measuring the 22mm flush from the part where the motor mount screw holes are, or from right at the bottom of the shaft where the bearing is? It’s like a 2mm difference.

[Paul77]

From the flat on the can.

[YeetMeat]

flush with the motor face where the screws are; remember to tape up your motor holes

oop he beat me to it

[landonkun]

He beat the yeet meat.

Thanks boyz

[Paul77]

I just did this the other day, I slipped a rubber glove over the whole motor and had the shaft come out the middle finger and put a zip tie on the bottom, it kept it completely sealed and took 2 secs on and off.

[Paul77]

Now that’s funny shit!!!

[landonkun]

So basically, you created a motor condom, protecting multiple holes.
