eLofty Direct Drive Discussions-read before buying

Wow. You have discovered yet another mode of direct drive failure. The solutions is to have a spacer between the retaining nut and the wheel bearing core.

Could you explain this one ?
If the nut went loose it would go against the wheel not against the drive core…I dont get it

Meant wheel core/bearing. Will edit for clarity.

If you always make the hospital your ride destination, they’ll definitely get you there.

Is this the same hobbywing ESC as the old wowgo 2s? I’m thinking of experimenting with this one I’ll have laying around.

Yup. I couldn’t get it to work with sensors, but with a hip flick unsensored it’s still damn smooth. Just a sleepy boi.

That’s a damn good idea! I will toss some in tomorrow. I like knowing smart people.

been in touch with kenna @ efloty on whatsapp.

they’re willing to replace drives free of charge but that you cover shipping.

i haven’t even run my drives yet but intend to replace them.

whatsapp contact

I literally googled hip flick lol. There’s a 50% sale on some direct drives right now. I think I might pull the trigger.

Who’s doing the sale?

Just an FYI I’m not affiliated with this site or have bought from them. https://boundmotor.com/product/direct-drive-motor-kit/?mc_cid=ab9dc7710c&mc_eid=4e67366429
