Hey had a follow up question. I bought an identical board to the one elofty offers from the factory but the wheel adapters (gear) do not fit the evolve 97mm wheels. Did you experience the same?

#23

Mine fits hella tight. Need to pry the wheels out everytime I operated on the drives

Looks just like the “Black Carve” from the guy with the hair.

#25

It is the same factory but I put swapped most of the components out to do the DirectDrive some justice.

Buzzed amish makes a sleeved cupped (and flat) washer specifically for fatcone and chubbies. Haven’t tried those but there standard size washers work great.

#27

Which Riptide pivot cups fit those trucks, Evolve or Gullwing?

#28

The indy ice ones for tkp.

Sorry for digging up this old thread, but I am just curious. Are the DD only possible to use with FOC, if so, how is the FOC working on the flipsky ESC?

#30

Yes.
Depends on if you’re lucky enough to get a flipsky esc that wont blow :stuck_out_tongue:

#31

This is so sad. There are no other in-stock alternatives than Flipsky. So for FOC my only options seems to be grabbing a used focbox or wait for the neoboxes to ship.

#32

I have a mekerX dual and its running very nicely on FOC
Its a 4.x based ESC, but very worth for $120

I see, what amps you pushing through it? Might consider getting one

#34

Same, using a makerx and it’s working fine. Settings are 60A/-60A and 30A/-6A each side. ( the -6 is low because of my batteries. It’s a work in progress :stuck_out_tongue: )

Do you have it running on FOC?

Yup! FOC and runs pretty smoothly too.

I haven’t ridden it too much but initial runs shows temps within acceptable range.

#37

solid
I’m running 60a/-20a batt (total)
and 40a/-60a motor (each)

Do your DD’s overheat at 60a?
I find I get too much throttling at 60a :confused:

#38

Haven’t really gone on any long top speed rides or hill climbs so not sure :confused: Also it’s winter where I am and ambient is around 50F

Also how do you get throttling? Do your DD have a temp sensor probes?

#40

no temp sensors. thermal throttling I think.
its a VERY significant power throttle.

At the worse times, I thought I accidentally tapped the VX1 remote’s “mode 1” but it was still on mode 3 :confused:
