I know you have one of the earlier variants so this may not apply, but with the recent 58kV variants from eLofty and @Esk8supply, I’ve noticed and advised that the axle is not fabricated correctly to engage the nylock on the motor can holding nut…

I’d advise locktite on this nylock nut as well!

Only when they’re good. Nonetheless I ordered another set, the non-centered axle issue with one of my two led me there, hopefully it’s better with these. One set of replacement parts for that price seems reasonable :wink:

I’ve come up with a couple of fixes for the non-centered axle…

and honestly, I seriously looked and looked at the $160 price and ALMOST pulled the trigger…
and as honestly, I have to admit, despite the problems… these are a really kewl drive… if you want a drive to survive… this is NOT it… if you wanna have a fun DIY experience… how can you possibly go wrong with a complete $160 drive system???

Honestly tempted to buy these drives even though I know how sketch they are. $159 free shipping there has to be a reason.

I am almost tempted to buy another set at that price. Lol. I can’t wait until summer so I can put my original ones to the test a bit more

Sorry to tell you guy, Kenna seem not elofty’s employee
I dont know how she get the motor from the motor Oem factory
But I know the boss of elofty from China, he said the old version elofty DD never sale at 2019 and never break apart the kit set of motor to sale.
Also, I custom made a new version of real elofty DD by wechat, by introducing other ESK8ER.

I always got the impression that Kenna was just a seller using eLofty as her source, so this rings true in some respects.

So you put together a group buy? How did it work out from a price/quality perspective?

You are speaking my mind about eskate trucks and their silly stupid miss construction. Peace

Someone that knows the boss is good news. How much was your group buy cost directly from the factory?

How are your drives holding up?

I just said something news to the guys who buy elofty DD

No, I just order by myself
The newest elofty DD come with 75kv, and the max amp is 30a per motor , so total is 60a , also support 12s
For the price I need to ask the elofty s Boss if he can support me to establish a group buy. For your reference, mines around 148us(the photo include)

The first ones I got the can came loose but @Esk8supply promptly sent replacements hassle free(thanks Nathan). I love them so far. I’m thinking about getting another set for another build. You can four sets of these drives for the price of 1 Torqueboard DD set. That’s a killer deal.
