Yeah they look great, nice and solid too. I think for this build I may need something composite or injection molded to keep it as compact as possible

You laugh but I did this the night before a big trip after thoroughly smashing my case on a lip in the road and it kept out the rain and mud perfectly. It probably didnât even need the tape around the cable glands. The VESC also wouldnât fit in the 3dservisas or apex case from Dnollie.
But it could overheat if you arenât just chilling with slower people

I only had long screws when I put it together months ago, and it took a hit on the trip (see the other side).
No matter what I do with the idler it needs the motor pulley flipped to hold in the belt anyway so i wonât even fix it.
and you had this many months ago time to order proper ones 
i have some idlers here you could have but theyâre m6. Yours look thinner?

They are m4 but I could drill and tap the mounts. m4 is definitely too little. I didnât order more because itâs not as much extra long as it looks and I didnât mind 1.8cm stick out about 2cm from the wheel. Tapped aluminium isnât very strong so I would use an extra long screw and a nut on the threads to tighten it down anyway and get full engagement.
In hindsight it would have taken me less than 3 minutes to cut it shorter
You can print a sleeve around the screw that the bearings fit around. Thatâs what Iâve done on one of my boards that has an idler, works perfectly.

I think theyâre all used but they all seem to spin fine. 3 come with a fixed screw and 2 need their own screw.
18mm wide
25mm diameter
Youâre in the Eu right? Pay shipping and they could be yours. I found them to be hard to find here
hmm shipping to ireland

offtopic - idlers
As in a spacer between the screw and bearings inner race? Thanks I could do that but I think the issue comes from the mounts being misaligned although that would help.
Thatâs a great offer but I think the whole setup is a bit screwed. And the motors arenât adjustable I needed to get a setup that lined up with in this case 520mm belts. I needed more c2c so did some terrible things.
Ive got some cool stuff in the works I will be making another lasercutting order. Maybe internal gears and very short mounts. I can put upload some pics tomorrow
