Test drive!
Hahaha i wish, found out that my battery is phuked. it still reads 39.8V but doesnt give any power anymore. Also need an esc too 
ill report back in aprox 2 months 
after the first can unscrewed, I swapped motors and the one on the left unscrewed when mounted on the right-hand sideâŚ
2 out of 3 of my motor can ends unscrewed⌠all fixerated and happy now⌠Iâm getting pretty fast at taking these drives apart and putting them back together!
Donât forget that they work pretty well with even dogshit ESCs if you have one laying around.
Maybe itâs not the battery that is dead?
Hah yeah i bet there is one cell group dead, or my bms is gonzo because it didnât even spark when shorting it.
Also @BillGordon i heard you ran these drives with the hobbywing esc right? The cheap one from lets say the wowgo 2s or the new one like the 3? Also how is the torque and speed with it, does it compare to hubs?
I have run the eLofty drives from (all unsensored):
An original Meepo 2 speed ESC (Not bad but huge disparity between the two speeds, so so brakes.)
A belt drive 4 speed LingYi from DIYEBOARD (Better power than the 2 speed and worse braking, but still usable)
A Meepo NLS Pro LingYi (better power and braking, actually the best non-vesc)
A HW Meepo Classic (Same as Wowgo/Meepo, smoothest of the bunch by far but sleepy performance)
Flipsky dual 6.6 (obviously the best of the bunch)
The 3 should be the supposed higher output version, which I have not tried.
Better than hubs in all cases except the HW, where it was very similar.
just got mine today. it does not feel anything like the previous hub motor. it âclicksâ into position and makes the board very bumpy! youtube dot com/watch?v=1eKIU_q9Dio
you can see clearly in the video at 1:10. please advise on what i can do
Not normal. Sounds like loose magnets.
how can i fix it? thanks for checkin out my vid. i have never opened 1 up before to know whatâs right or wrong
Get it replaced.
Sound quite similar to the noise I was hearing when my adaptater went loose, did you mount everything yourself? If not, take the wheels apart and check if anything is loose (screws, adaptatorâs pins etcâŚ)
Could you roughly describe the procedure please? What loctite did you use?
the motor was already mounted on the truck.
i mounted the double kingpin onto the board, then the truck (with motor already on) onto the kingpin. Next I screwed the wheel adapter onto the motor using 6 bolts provided, repeat the same for the other side. Popped 2 bearings into the wheel i bought from Bound Motor. Inserted the wheel into the adapter and bolt that up. when i tried rolling on the floor, thatâs when i noticed the soft thud as it clicks with every motion.
Ok, it may come from something else.
Could you take off the wheel and send us a picture of the motor with adapter on?
Anyway, you have to put Blue or Red Loctite on all screws before you get out for a ride
blue loctite? you mean loctite 242?

can i plug Bound Motor wires directly into Meepoâs V1 ESC? is it true plug and play? the colors are off by 1 sequence
direct drive wires: black, blue, green, yellow, red
Meepo wires: black, green, blue, yellow, red

Yep 10char
The funny thing is that it wonât make that sounds when you have weight on it. Take a video while you are standing on it. For me the sound went away when I lubricated the bearings with bearing oil. I had suspected that it was a loose magnet but I am not sure now.
I mentioned this in one of my post here.
