I would say they won’t fit clones
Man… I feel bad for anyone that ordered those 90mm wheels and gets them with these new drives… Dat clearance lol

That’s quite low.
These are my carvons on 110mm wheels
@Lee_Wright those are the new 78a rough stuff wheels btw. Noticeably softer that the 85a. Not abec soft but pretty damn good

Yeah I am sure they are good! The v1 were pretty good tbh, I would have liked to review the V2
@Lee_Wright yep! These fit my drives perfectly, but they indeed do not fit clones.
Anyone wanna meshmix the clone prongs to this baseplate for me? I’m pretty decent at designing from scratch but I’m not well versed in combining STL files
Trying to decide which wheels I wanna use with these drives now!

I made some improvements to the adaptor now @ryansinatra. I have V2 up now which includes a bearing press for the inner wheel bearing, less of a slope to better fit ABEC wheel cores and a slightly refined spoke design.
I can make you a clone version if you like, just need to get the profile for the clones. Give me a little time
Edit, shit I just realised I have to further refine my design. Can you take a picture of the end of the drive for me without the adaptor?

if anyone has a document showing the profile of the clone ABEC shape I would appreciate it!
Can you give me that nut height? the one nearest to drive. Height from drive to end of nut please. I need to see where the bearing needs to sit
I don’t have calipers at the moment 
its ok, @Tonkatron is on it for me. If someone gives me the ABEC profile I will make you another adaptor.
even a high def photo of the top down on a clone pulley with a ruler in shot would do

I have 2 chief concerns. The drives can get up to 80 degree Celsius. How is the 3D printed part going to handle that?
Does the 3D printed part increase the chance of water and dirt going in through the holes?
I honestly like the previous design better. The one that I have.

80C is nothing for the right filament. Its under 50% of the glass temp of Nylon, PC, PET etc.
it wont increase the chances of water ingress over the metal kegel version that ships with it.
The 3d print version is a road to getting some made in Alu really.

i could use the abec profile as well. 2d drawing would suffice
11mm bro

Here’s how one of my Kegel adapters arrived. Completely out of center:
I was scratching my head why it’s so hard to put the wheels on. Well, this explains it.
Also, why they used countersunk head bolts where clearly flat head should have been used is beyond me. 
I stripped two bolts when trying to undo them so that I can align the adapter. I had to file a groove so that I could remove them with a flat screwdriver. 
I also seem to have problems with sensors. Sometimes the motor fails to start rolling from dead stop (on a bench; no load on it). I have to give it a spin to get it started. I cannot consistently reproduce it though. Sometimes it does start; sometimes not. Has anyone seen anything similar? This could also be a problem with the VESC. I’m using @shaman’s Cheap FOCers and I haven’t used them with sensors before. The motor detection worked well though.

Not good! Seems eLOFTY have issues that need to be sorted. I hope they get there

In the sensor detection try to increase the amps.
I think they have done it to increase clearance from the wheels. I promptly replaced them with standard hex bolts because I have enough clearance with my pneumatic setup.
Did you happen to heat it nicely with a small blowtorch or heatgun first? Everyone who has tried to remove not without heat has stripped it.
Also I don’t understand why they changed to this new design when the previous one was working fine.
Is this when both Motors are connected? I have had that happen with any motor, the fix is to use can bus and traction control on.
