NOPE.
I have an idea for a part that could get these working on Boardnamics M1-AT.
No point in doing unpaid design work and troubleshooting for an inherently bad drivetrain solution.

Maybe not for you, but Iāve seen some really good products come out of people trying to use incompatible parts together.
Kegel pneumatic hubs were invented to run AT wheels on DD which is a terrible idea, but itās enabled pneumatics to go onto other things like GD.
The cause of the invention doesnāt always relate to the result.

I have seen the dude selling moe wheels with adapters so maybe they are making those

These are made for racing, donāt think Moe cares if they donāt suit the mass market.
Theyāre his parts for his racing boards.
The suggestion that they should be made to suit other requirements which arenāt his (racing based) seems a bit off the markā¦?

Iām just trying to avoid a mentality where we start using āraceā and āracingā just like the PC community uses āgamingā
If he doesnāt make the parts someone else will as long as thereās demand.
Putting these on a direct drive would tarnish the Moe stooge name

These have been put on a DD before, idk where the company went tho, it was an awesome concept
These are racing parts made to fit the other parts in their own race board design.
You donāt see F1 teams making racing wheels to fit family carsā¦or people asking for that.

Iām talking about the common ones we see on here all the time.
Iām sure whatever youāre talking about is some kind of high performance something

Oh yeah it was some fully custom thing

they were? I thought that was more of a rather thoughtless afterthought for marketing purposes.
Yes, it was a terrible idea to put six inch wheels on a 75KV direct drive, and even the ~60-ish KV direct drives didnāt last longā¦ and i found that out first hand in probably the most expensive way possibleā¦ but were they really designed for direct drives or were they just trying to be drop in replacements for a common wheel and drive system integration standard trying to catch the direct drive wave which looked good at the time? I have some red anodize janux rims sitting still on a Carvon with TB beta drivesā¦ which burned out within about 20 milesā¦ i could easily drop them onto a set of gear drives or even use them with press fit insert pulleys (which i did, and it works)

Ok, a worthy goal. And you think putting these wheels on a Kegel core will avoid them being used by posers who enjoy having flashy kit for no good reason?
This stuff isnāt called racing equipment as a status symbol or an excuse to mark up the price, itās called racing equipment because it wins races. 
if something does come along that does those things, I will join you in railing against it.

I am all for posers racing on racing equipment, then you either can win against them or buy the equipment when they quit.

Haha Iām with you there. The āall the kit, still shitā types are the most satisfying to pass

In the past we were able to drill a kegal hole pattern into the hub.
Found it! Think it was an evolve kegal pulley.

Couple of questions:
1.whatās the estimated total range on these before they wear out? (or longest total distance traveled on a set)
2. [quote=āMoeStooge, post:47, topic:292ā]
The Versa pulleys will need purchased from Vex Robotics.

Do you know any european vendor that sells same standard pulleys?
3.How do they preform under light rainy conditions? (Is any sortof hydroplaning persistent under ~25km/h / 16mph speeds)/
4.Couldnāt find this anywhere, whatās the new wh consumption for these (Ive heard old ones had about 30wh/mile)
5.Is the old pursuit for 109mm wheels with water channels discontinued?
These ones

I fund versa pulleys in EU (or think they came from UK so not really EU anymore) some years ago. Canāt remember where, but they are here.

They are just nylon anyway, not alu. You could just as well print some.

The VEX products are very high quality. I would expect them to very rarely fail and take years to wear out.
Yeah appears they have no official distribution outside the USA. @Anubis @ApexBoards would either of you stock some VEX pulleys?

#1). Moe Stooge Wheel System - #33 by davidbonde
#2) Moe Stooge Wheel System - #47 by MoeStooge
#4) have not done a wh per mile test. Wouldnāt be comparable with inrunners and gear drives as they run more efficient than Outrunners and belts. I suspect same or better with the new wheel.
#5) 109 project is history.
