That was my next question but I think @Boardnamics has stated in the past he wasn’t interested in making geared drives.
Makes sense as belts are cheaper to replace and I’d imagine gears are more expensive in the long run (ie more moving parts, more gears to replace, etc).
I’d be interested in seeing a geared drive too though
Belts fail 90% of the time because they’re exposed to the elements. Just one pebble is enough to get caught in the pulley, making the pulley bigger, and snapping it.
I want to replace gears as the high performance standard. Let the testing begin.
The belt enclosure is sweet and all. But that motor mount looks mad choice, yo! Patiently waiting to convert. Gonna need some additional axles for existing sets as well.
This is a awesome project I Love belts my first esk8 was belt powered and 90% of my boards are belt powered, fuck even even someone invents hoverboading I will work out a way to use belts on it.
I was like what’s that thing spinning in my motor pulley
running casually loose so iz coo
lol also I started on 84A bushings front and back to get used to it at low speed. So i’m expecting to have a much greater time at high speed when I switch up dik some harder stuff.
