I still haven’t gotten around to putting on loctite yet. Been messing with things so I was waiting.

I’ll obviously continue to update my findings here. If you scroll up above, I know someone took apart the motors and measured everything

Anyone know where I can get a abec adaptor for the newer (different axel 8mm\10mm bearings dont fit)
File or Purchase?

Airless kegals from china arrive look out for for review and possibility to conversion to inner tube.

cant wait!

They are super hard i can see them not effecting range that much there is no way the tyre is coming off without a stanley knife. Will see how much clearance it adds to the evo. My inner engineer couldnt wait to get home and put my calipers on them to find battery was dead. If its not 100s Of a MM I am not interested.

Thoughts on a CNC ABEC wheel adapter for those interested head on over to the eLofty Group buy thread and voice a desire. 30 bux is a pretty good price I feel…

anyone running these on BLDC?
is it significantly louder?

BillGordon · October 29, 2019, 6:30pm

The closest I can give you is this:

With bldc/maker-X combo: very quiet
With Hobbywing esc: very quiet
With LingYi: noisy whine but I like it

I luv the noisy whine when accelerating (but the little yappy ankle-biting dogs H8 it, hahahaha)… stealth-mode super quiet when coasting!

murdomeek · October 29, 2019, 11:18pm

Thanks
Is all of this sensored? or sensorless?

BillGordon · October 29, 2019, 11:20pm

Sorry, sensorless.

I run mine on 12s foc on vesc based esc, it is smooth to accelerate, has a little cool whine on startup then goes silent

Jujo · October 30, 2019, 5:55am

What’s the count for the group buy currently? Are we having one? @Esk8supply

Esk8supply · October 30, 2019, 6:13am

@murdomeek and I are arranging the details will let you know soon

kook · October 30, 2019, 6:21am

lemme know… flesh out the deets, I may want to go 4wd on my eLofty rig… the price seems right, but I’d really like to know, concisely, in one post, exactly what I am buying, what’s included and the price… the other thread is so jumbled up I think that I may just be buying a mystery box…

Thanks kidz for putting this together!!!

Esk8supply · October 30, 2019, 6:24am

that is exactly the details I provided @murdomeek with, but I assume he needs to cancel the previous order first. Everything will be in a new thread hopefully!

kook · October 30, 2019, 6:26am

I diligently await details!

Thanks meng!

ThomasL · October 30, 2019, 8:43am

Would these work with the Torqueboards Direct drive ?

Esk8supply · October 30, 2019, 10:34am

We stock them as well, they should fit with any kegel core adapters
