Looks awesome. Congrats on your placing! You should have a crack at T Racing too!! I feel at the moment it’s the only way to compare how quick you are to others around the world. Also great race training!!!
Awesome to have so many competitors in that event!!
Thanks! Will give it a try for sure! I first need to fix the board though xD The motor mount is bent quite a bit and shifted quite a lot. I can fix the shifting if I don’t kill the motor mount screws in the meantime. For the next month I can only ride if I can straighten it back and even then not too much riding can be done before these fail
Still not 100% sure if I want to go with BN M1 straight cuts with a 2.2 ratio or get some new mounts for belts. Will order something in the next couple of days though
Had some trouble finding the correct sized belts locally, but finally found some and assembled the board.
Thing is I couldn’t order from China as I am moving countries in less than a month, would have been a lot of downtime and I feared it wouldn’t even arrive in time.
The board is setup with the longest @IDEA mounts (113-120mm CTC) and 415mm belts.
Switching to ideaTB mounts was by far the best choice I’ve made when it comes to mounts. Simple to use, great fitment and an elegant look! Best mounts around for caliber style trucks
I like them too! The fitment of the BN adapter could be a little tighter though, it has a bit of play on my BN270s.
I actually crashed a few days ago, took the board into a forest trail and didn’t see a root in the ground I am fine just bruised up my hip a bit. The front truck got slightly stuck in the root, but somehow got over it. Then the rear truck came, and the root stopped it completely at around 22-23 km/h. I didn’t expect it so I couldn’t run it out, played superman and landed on my hip, kneepads, and elbow pads. The mounts took it like a champ. The only thing that happened is that I needed to retighten the grub screws after.
Use some blue locktight one those grubs and you’ll be good to go! I made the mistake of using red. Had to summon the hulk just so I could move the mount an 8th inch
Had blue 243 on both of them! Now that I’ve retightened them I didn’t add loctite again though, didn’t had the patience to wait out the cure before a ride. Currently holding fine without loctite, but I will apply some 243 again later
I might just swap to M8 capheads if those fit fine. Will need to go to the hardware store in a few days anyways
You are correct! My bad with the misinformation. That’s actually how I ended up getting my grub screws stuck. Used the blue bottle but it ended up being almost permanent.
Use locktite but not the permanent type of locktite or else you’ll need to call the hulk… and maybe a therapist for the trauma it’ll bring you.
