I’ve used the V1 extensively for a few months without any issues. (before the changed axles and motor can screws change.)
We are working closely with our supplier to make the drive as durable as possible.
I also hope you can resolve the issue with your seller. The can on the new drive have losen on me as well, with some grippy workman gloves and expoxy, I was able to screw and secure the drive.

Thanks guys.
Testing a prototype is OK, Testing a 1000 euros board is NOT OK.
I’ve Kids and esk8 is risky enough like that.
I’m soooo angry

I will also add that I don’t have any unscrewing issues with my cans still and I’ve ridden them everyday for the past 3 weeks. Still hoping it’s not a “just a matter of time” thing but so far so good

There’s a lot of truth there. I have become a lot more discerning in who I test for. I tested some 6380 motors a while back, special heat dispensation that turned out to be a slap of aluminum that directed the heat back into the slave bearings, causing it to seize and me getting 22 stitches. Not even a “I’m sorry”.

Tomorrow I’ll try mine the second time, I hope I’m one of the lucky ones 
Maybe my 4wd config is nicer to the drives running them cooler and distributing forces 
I don’t want to deal with those Elofty people ever again 
With @Esk8supply Nathan I have the feeling that hes really trying to solve the issues, elofty would deny there are any at first i bet.

Hi guys. I’m back in contact with lofty. This time they have some rkp DD and dkp belt drive kit coming out to the market. Personally not super interested in using them but I can organize a US groupbuy. Let me know if you guys are interested. I’m in talking with someone that’s more on hands with the drives and willing to help you fix your problems and it seems like lofty products has become more stable.
I can also import 40T packs from them anything from 3-8p as a good price
interest form.
- RKP DD 65kv
- Dkp beltdrive dual 5065 or 6368s
- 40T A stock pack 3-8p

Can you also organize a group reclamation for the buyers of the previous experiment?

What do you mean?
They don’t respond well to claims, latest drive had some serious issues (read the last 10 or so posts) so you seem to have a better conenction to them comapred to us “normal” buyers.
This can unscrewing problem for example:
I’m not entirely sure what I can do. If you are experiencing this problem drop a name here and msg me pictures and your order receipt. I’ll see what I can help. I’m not a vender like eskateSupply so I can only help so much.
- I need help with fixing lofty DD or need replacement.

What does that poll even mean? And make the poll public or people will vote randomly just to see the results
God damn it, I get the DKP ones and a month later there’s RKP ones. Eh I guess I need the 58KV DKP ones anyway since I’ll be running bergs. Probably better off that I got these from Nathan as well.

BTW mine are not bought from elofty they are bought on another site.
But they seem to all come from the same factory anyway.
