Thanks Nathan!
thanks for the pix, while you are there, could you address a couple of issues, with the manufacturer that I have found?
since you brought up the fact that the screws were eliminated on the motor can, could you please tell them that whatever they’re using to hold the end can to the can is NOT working.
the endcap on my motor unscrewed within 1 km and caused me the walk of shame back home. Please ask them how I should fix this issue, or should I send it back to them.
also have them look at their axle design, the nylock on the locknut that holds the entire drive onto the axle does not engage to the threads and the nylock is ineffective. this is an enlargement of your actual picture, mine is the same…
also, please ask them the appropriate torque spec on the nylock nut that fixes the drive to the hanger.
and while you are at it, slide a skate bearing over the 8mm section where the wheel bearing seats, see if it fits and if it seats fully on the axle or is the bearing seat the full width of the wheel bearing or only about half of the bearing width.
Thanks for your concern, your time, and your pictures, I’m not about griping, I’m all about making these drives as cool as they should be, and I’m looking forward to pictures of what option 1 a complete direct drive encompasses.
While you’re at it you may as well ask them about spare parts since you’re attempting to be the supplier of these drives, can we get spare parts from you/them? spare axles? spare hangers? spare baseplates, spare individual motors, etc.
again thanks, Nathan and good luck!
EDIT:
also (sorry about all my requests, I really wish I spoke Mandarin, but you mentioned in a reply to me that the ABEC wheel adapter fit their “Clownwheel” “Foamy” this leads me to believe that the adapter will fit some ABEC clone wheels and not be perfected for Original ABEC wheel cores, could you verify, and maybe a pik or two of the adapters, and smuggle a pair for me back in your luggage… I’ll pay… grins…
EDIT 2:
Ohhhh that looks like an entirely new axle, the finish, the wheel bearing seats, and the indention on the end of the axle all look much better than what I have currently purchased, and replaced TWICE … looking good!
thanks, brother
