That doesn’t sound bad at all compared the the other sounds others and I have had their drives make when they go bad

Its true skatan went easy because I’ve already torn these down once. 
I ordered loctite retaining compound to glue big b in there for good
So I went pretty hard today with the glow wheels, it really feels like 100mm wheels are made for this board with this battery and the 90kv. I think I got like 40km going hard but I stopped a bit early because it’s still cold and it was sagging. Its pretty fun easily keeping up with neighborhood traffic and the sound of these motors is great. I’m getting more axle chatter with my printed adapter and the glow wheels, I tried shimming the back but it looks like the front kind of does it.
The 110 wheels are workhorses but with the 90kv and going hard it gets pretty saggy. No doubt the extra load from starting then running a higher top speed. These wheels absolutely fly compared to the glow wheels on the top end. They’re pretty torquey from a start but the motors heat up really fast riding aggressive with 90kv. If you cruise around its not very noticeable at all but racing around you will feel the throttling in a few pulls and have to let it cool a bit. At this point I’ve put about 100km on the tb110’s and they’re still looking pretty clear.
At some point possibly during second run I’ve bent my hangar from the cracks in the road. You can see the initial bend in the dirty picture. I spent some time cleaning it up and flipped the hangar and maybe it will last longer now.
Is this something that will happen running 100mm? Is this a heat treat issue or is this the reality of DD hangers? It looks a lot better flipped over but they are also slightly bending backwards not just up.
I’ve been rough on this setup so far, but nothing really out of line from my regular skate. There are a lot of noises to track and whats going on if it’s the wheels, adapters, axle chatter, bearing tolerance and it’s a bit tedious. Obviously this stuff is nothing compared to what I’ve seen around here, but I’ve had a nice smorgasbord of very similar noises and really aggressively tackle them out of precaution of something getting worse. I’m hoping with the better weather, the issues will subside with the better road conditions like less gravel, salt etc. I’ll probably have to purge the bearings again since they’re likely jammed to the tits with salt and dirt now.
Overall I’m loving this setup and there really isn’t anything else out there like this so it’s a bit of a rock and a hard place for me with longevity concerns. Am I going to have to keep rebuilding these things endlessly to keep them super smooth idk. I’m a bit nuts about random noises though. After some maintenance things are running smoothly…ish? Some wobble from the adapter or wheels but only on the bench.
Also cans got some solid scrapes now 
Oh and bushings came in. So tonight going to try 2 96a street fatcones in the front with 96a street barrels in the back.

Let’s se how much time before you switch to belt drive

On this board once they fall apart, but next build looking a belt if I do one

Even before my shim fix they do sound really good on smooth pavement with my printed adapters.
Also here’s how waterproof it is def needs some extra extra sealing, mostly probably because of the pattern on the deck.

Went for a long ride finally, used the cloudwheels and range was very good, not that it would be bad with the tb110s. Even at the end of my ride at 42km I was easily keeping it at 55kmh on some good roads. 50km range seemed doable. It was all mixed riding lots of full throttle.
The drives don’t really give me problems aside from some shudder and power loss when cold which is really wierd but it consistently goes away on warm up so I’m thinking some kind of clearance issue again. It’s only present under full throttle with me on the board and cold start. It is a matter of lociting everything I guess.
Here’s another bonus problem just like @Kram720 ,has that crept up on me recently and another visit from mr loctite 660. It feels like you sort all the issues out then more crap happens. I had to hammer the can off the hanger slightly since my cores are stuck on there now and loctite that bearing inner. I’ll probably be better off doing what I did earlier and loctiting the big bearing in place which seems to keep the motor aligned much better and keeping a lot of good free rotation on it.

Some updates,
I can say after about 1000km now the regreased bearings and everything have worn in beautifully. On a smooth road and urethane it’s so quiet now it’s crazy. Despite breaking my glow wheel adapters today the freeroll is so good it was easy to push home. 1 motor still engaged. I love carving on the glowwheels they have fantastic grip through corners for their hardness.
I put the tb110 back on now to see if the delam fix holds.
Also I run this board through a gravel trail on my urethane all the time btw probably 50km+ now of gravel on them and a few grass corridors I take it through. I like light offroading on thane, its kind of like surfing especially on gravel.

I had to cut a piece of threaded rod and sort of vice the motors off the axles. It wasn’t pretty and the motors have a nice wear spot but doesn’t affect anything.
I put it all back together and was going to a friends house and suddenly the ubox canbus link broke. I can only control 1 motor now. I guess I’m sending this ubox back. I tried rebinding and even reflashing firmware but nothing works.

For a while I’ve been having intermittent problems on a motor, stutter from sensored start. Same motor I’ve repaired once already, I also clipped the phase wire going over tree roots earlier lol. I decided to rewire the sensor wires, it was pretty much a watchmaking level pita but it seems to be working great put back together. I gave the area a quick cleaning with iso and a brush, then sprayed my working area with silicone conformal coating once I was done in case I scraped some coil winding’s enamel. I was debating using acrylic but it slops kind of easily.

Next level maintenance! I’d just snip them and run sensorless haha.

Yeah it’s tempting. I had to rewire the other side too lol. If this happens again soon they might go sensorless

Only worrying thing is temperature. Mine get hot quick then throttled.

That’s true I bounce off the 90c temperature limit like every ride. No sensor I’d burn them for sure.
