So at least your hanger has a straight profile and you can re-tighten it.
Spooky I was just writing exactly the same when you posted this
On my black Matrix II one mount shifted as well but the oil slick surface is very slippery.
@Mainflow did you tighten the set screws again after the first ride? MBS aluminium is quite soft and can need several times re-tightening. That’s why I didn’t use driveguards in the beginning to have access to both screws.
Hey rich. I also noticed that getting the mini drive straight on the MBS hangar was super hard. I don’t know if the Matrix 2 truck is going to be suitable if the drives keep moving, I hope this is not the case but it remains to be seen I guess. My APS motors were ok, not impressed that you got sent poor motors.
Trampa trucks are (in theory) squared that’s why it’s easier and better for motor mounts. I also had massive problems with shifting mounts on Trampa mini trucks, regular sized trucks work better.
arg … I’m a bit reassured as I feel bad for you and your awesome setup… I tough it was just me ^^ but it finally come to the scene again, yrs after.
Its mostly why I have to let go my etoxx GD for 3Dsas, plus now they make awesome precision hangers too to go with, more perfectly squared thant trampa one (who was more parallelogram finaly).
What @rene has done with Duffman/etoxx is also the solution !
It’s possible to make clamp axle/hanger system on M2 truck, but even better to use the brake hole thread like Overion did and some other use to do now Moon
haaaa… can’t wait to bring my GD to life !
I’m not sure if the shape of the oil-slick hanger is slightly different or if it’s just bad luck with my hangers. The shape of the black ones I have is much better (and still mounts are shifting but it’s easy to re-mount). When I hold and press the motor plate by hand on the black hanger without screws i can’t wiggle it sideways but on the oil-slick hanger I can dance with it. Maybe the edges are different, no idea.
Using the brake hole is a good idea except for @Saturn_Corp , sorry for the thread bro. If it helps I stripped and ruined many things, too That’s part of DIY
The other setscrews hold the Overion mounts on just fine. Very rarely they will loosen so I check before every ride they don’t wiggle but the last time I had to tighten I added more loctite and they haven’t had problems since.
New matrix 2 hanger would be the easiest fix but after all these qc issues I’m not sure if want another one.
If/when I change trucks I’ll have to get new bottom pieces of the mounts.
