I’ll be selling my set of purple 120D CW with 44t pulleys in a few weeks so buy them from me if you’re in the US ^-^ Less than 75 miles on them.
where did u get those 44t? if they are bolt on, then nevermind i need pressfit bearing ones
nah pressfit. I believe they were for ownboard or something. The problem is the wheel + pulley is so fucking wide, you literally need a super long axle. https://www.amazon.com/IWONDER-Conversion-PJ00607-Discovery-Ownboard/dp/B08BTYPJBG
@jack.luis tried to drill through it to make it fit on a normal truck, but it just wouldn’t. The plastic is really hard.
i saw those before, thinking they have different bearing than 608, urs fit on 8mm axle?
nah I just took the bearing off.
nice, 608 fit right in? or what’s the OD on the bearing seat?
It’s larger than a regular skate bearing. I don’t actually know the size.
thanks, i will check it out sometime later
@frame
I got 44T pressfit ones direct from iwonder that are exway, ownboard ones are also 44T.
Yeah this was a bit of an issue on Caliber IIs but I got it working at least on the exway pulleys by filing the trucks a little. I can post pics when I’m home later if you want, but icloudwheels.com has pretty good diagrams with specified dimensions for most products too
You can also get 56T ones if you buy the boosted adapter kit, comes with a riser too
Boosted use 3m pulleys and belts. They won’t work.
i don’t mind either version, as long as i can find correct bearing to fit in the seat
Oh shit thank you for that! Glad I didn’t get that in the end
I found the diagrams for the two 44T options
Exway:
Ownboard:
The Exway model uses 6902 bearings so with the bearing in place it has a 15mm ID, instead of the ownboard’s 6900 bearing with a 10mm ID
wonderful, thanks for the info man
yeah,the price seems to drop a bit,after discount only $135.99 now
Through sheer stubborn stupidity I’ve nearly sanded my thumbprint off trying to improve my cloudwheel + Caliber II setup.
Basically to get the pulley mounted to begin with I removed the bearing from the pulley so it was engaged with the core of the wheel but just kinda hanging out the side. The Calibers’ profile is a bit too big even to fit the 28mm ID of that section of the pulley, but it wasn’t too bad to file the corners off it.
After a while I realised this was a bad idea because the pulley was kind of cantilevered off to the side unsupported, sometimes rubbing on the hanger and generally having a bad time. Refused to buy an angle grinder so I spent far too long filing down a small section to 15mm.
Then realised even that didn’t have enough length to fit the wheels, so a couple painful hours and one thoroughly dead file later, I’ve got one side of one hanger prepped.
Anyone know if I’ve structurally ruined them? I’ve a funny feeling I’m just going to buy a set of BN long hangers or something and stop being an idiot, but it was kind of fun to try this at least
I am pretty sure when people cut calibers they usually do it to expose more of the axle. You can use a hacksaw, rotory tool or a lathe…a file would take WAY too long. That is to say you may be able to make it work yet, but BN hangers with long axles are an easier, cleaner and more durable alternative.
Finally got mine,little delay from the factory,just fyi if you buy from banggood make sure they’re in stock as they kept setting the date back on back order,I think they allocate stock elsewhere at higher prices first.
That said once shipped,probably about a week from China to UK and no custom charges as they mark as a gift and low price!
Paid £95 and free delivery
Black seems to be the most popular as all other colours were in stock.
I’m using maytech pulleys and trucks and the room between the motor pulley and wheel is very fine…
I have nexus oil slick bearings with built in spacers that fit snug but not too tight.
As soon as I get my ESC back and this build up and running I’ll update about grip and the cores on these,I see a few companies using these on pre builds now and not many complaints,I’m guessing the quality isn’t an issue on the discovery’s.
Yes, I had the same problem. I have older bear grizzlies I modified and Caliber II trucks and I can’t fit Turnigy 6454s next to one another.
I can’t figure out why the 120 Could wheels are so wide. 45-50% of the potential contact patch isn’t used. It seems like these would be amazing wheels if they cut the width down to 1.5" from 2.25".
