I have 32.67mm but I only measured one.

I’m just curious, is your drivetrain that thin or do you use truck extensions?. The space on the axle is limited. And if you move the drivetrain more toward the baseplate the motor size is limited.

What can I compare it to?

I suppose your geardrives support long motors becaue of the axle extensions

How much room is there between your drives on the MBS trucks? Width between hubs - (41 + 41)?

Ill check now

@RyEnd

about 222mm case to case

I will say I use the brake holes to mount my grab bar so they were a bit used, could be 0.5 mm longer

I got 35.25 and 35.44 on either side of my front truck

Ok I think 28.5mm is the absolute minimum for the drives and that seems very unlikely and even then its not a disaster.

If I had my own hangers it would be exactly like Matrix 2 design with the brake hole and integrated speed ring on the axle. With the brake hole 28.5mm away from the start of the 12mm axle

I have E-Toxx gear drives but they are about the same width (maybe 2mm more). 41mm in your drawing is the distance from the left edge of the drivetrain (housing) to the hub, right?

Here the track width compared to normal track width on Matrix II

It looks wide but max 6384 motors, in the pic are 6364.

The problem is the baseplate, it sticks way more out compared to Trampa

Here a 6384 motor which is close to the baseplate when tilting

This is not a problem with belt or chaindrive but with geardrive the motors are closer to the hanger.

Andys got 6384s on my gear drive, don’t think he can get much longer either.

yes 41mm is the overall thickness of the drive.

6374 sorry,

Aaah smart, I forgot that the angle is changable on your drives, that’s the solution :ok_hand:

Can you move the motors even higher from the ground?

Have to ask @Andy87

@Tamatoa that depends on your motor size, gearing and how much you expect the base plate to turn.
In the picture its 10/44 with 6374 motors and in this position even if you remove the shock blocks the base plate will not hot the motor.

As you will never squeeze the shock block that much in real life, you should be able to mount the motors one hole position more up.
For people riding without binding, you can definitely mount the motors more up than I did.

@moon I get measurements in the evening.
