I have BN-AT on my hypertrucks and they are awesome. Just send boardnamics an email to confirm that all the parts are in stock before you place your order. And then bug him once or twice a week to ship your stuff. Expect 2-3 week shipping from boardnamics.
Also, make sure you get the right size motor pinion for your motors. BN standard is 8mm, so if you have 10mm motor shaft, that will be a custom request.
Another vote for BN drives here, love mine. Make sure you use a shaft collar or speed rings or something as extra support for the motor pinion if you go helical.
Currently running Boardnamics drives on my Hypertruck, loving them so far. I would recommend asking him for the straight cut version instead of helical to prevent lateral force on the pinion gear, though it will be a bit louder.
Perfect fit for the clamps. They utilize the existing Lacroix threaded holes. I can’t speak to alignment yet because I am waiting on some parts and haven’t installed hubs on it yet.
I appreciate the heads up. Just ordered my BN AT drive too. Looks like we have the same board too? With the same 10mm motor shaft? I have the Lacroix Jaws 2.0 Version all stock except for the bn drive coming soon. How are you still enjoying your BN drive? He seems to be having trouble locating the 10mm pinions so I may have to get new motors to use this drive unless you know where I can get some or have any ideas? Thanks in advance! Was it easy to install the gear drive? Any tips?
Preesh,

Thanks for the reply. I’ll ask about the straight cut gears. Do you have the Jaws 2.0? If so was your original stock jaws 2.0 came with the 6374 190kv motors or the 6389 190kv motors? I think the original jaws came w/ 6374 190kv and I think the newer jaws 2.0 came with the 6389 190kv motors because my motors have the 10mm shaft which seems to be the standard for the 6389 190 kv motors. I think that’s the main difference between the jaws and the jaws 2.0 are the 6389 190 kv motors and the hyper trucks. Seems the specs on Lacroix boards are different depending on where you check. Ugh. Hope you can help me clarify so I can order the correct parts for my BN gear drive upgrade. Thanks!
I have a nazare supersport. I think the straight cut gears are only for 8mm axle size, so you’ll need to replace the motors if your current motors have 10mm axles, and you want to use straight cuts.
How do you like your Newbee drive so far? What do y’all think the biggest differences are between the Newbee Gear Drive versus the Boardnamics Gear Drive?
