@Full-send I do recommend shorter housing screws. That’s a trip up waiting to happen and it’s gonna bug you esthetically sooner or later

So… My first problem has surfaced. Today while I was riding, one of my motors started to make an unusual noise. My right motor is spinning freely. I can grab onto the wheel and spin the motor. Not sure what this means or how to fix. Any suggestions folks?

All the wires are connected properly?

Is your motor pulley still turning in step with the wheel?

Yes it is. I have a keyway on it and checked to make sure everything is still tight
