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 didn’t receive hardware or lubricant with my order. I have 2 drives so I’ll need the equivalent of 2 hardware sets.

Thanks!

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

I was hoping it would have been stuck here at customs. But that would mean that it hasn’t even left yet…

USPS has been REAALLY slow the last two weeks or so, packages that normally take 3 days have been taking a week

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 🤷

Not sure on the angles, it’s just a standard skate deck, so that might be… About 25ish degrees up tilt on the tail. Same story with the adjustable baseplates, I’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. Hasn’t been an issue since.
At the worst, if it touched, the drive hits the deck rather than the motor can, so I wouldn’t be thrown off.

After arriving in the country, 3 weeks ago, it looks to have travelled about 1200km and might be in my city… maybe delivery tomorrow? :crossed_fingers: . :open_mouth:
