Boardnamics M1 Gear Drive + Other News

The problem with that is that the motor will hit the hanger since it becomes too close to the hanger. Also, the 23/64 have no common multiples which makes tooth wear very even as opposed to 20/64 which has several. 21/64 would be good, but the motor would be 1mm closer to the hanger.

This is the kind of shit that I absolutely love learning. Never would have occurred to me, but makes total sense.

@Boardnamics exacly what hardware will I need to assemble these drives? I didnā€™t receive hardware or lubricant with my order. I have 2 drives so Iā€™ll need the equivalent of 2 hardware sets.

Thanks!

EDIT: I found this readily available under downloads on the boardnamics site. Iā€™ll look first next time :sweat_smile:

I was hoping it would have been stuck here at customs. But that would mean that it hasnā€™t even left yetā€¦

What is the angle on that deck? What angle are you running on those baseplates? Any issues with motor bite?

Yup. Still waiting :pensive:

At least this is some good news šŸ¤·

Not sure on the angles, itā€™s just a standard skate deck, so that might beā€¦ About 25ish degrees up tilt on the tail. Same story with the adjustable baseplates, Iā€™m not sure.
I set them up to act like a 40-50 degree truck after accounting for the deck, so maybe like, 75 degrees.

Had some issues with clearance, but I changed up the angle of the drives, and stiffened up the bushings in the rear. Hasnā€™t been an issue since.
At the worst, if it touched, the drive hits the deck rather than the motor can, so I wouldnā€™t be thrown off.
