Okey dokey…
I got the NewBee 4GS Drives installed on the Gravel Flux.
Great job on the assembly video dude @Ean.esk8
Ryan @ShutterShock thanks to your video as well.
It made me think about stuff.
I had no hicups or issues with the install.
It all went really smooth.
The wheel adapter is nice.
I had the right length bolts…
Being able to line it up on the axle alone without the motors in the way is really cool.
One thing that worries me is how relatively little material of the clamp is in contact with the axle.
I guess the wheel supports it on the other side.
The only thing about install that sucked were the grub screws for the motor pinions. Just sucked to line up.
And the grub screws for the truck clamps.
Not sure how much they do because it’s pretty hard to get torque on them.
Also tiny tiny Allen Key begging to strip…
It’s nice being able to move it in and out on the axle.
I am using a spacer and a washer between the axle and hubs. I am not sure this was made obvious in the instructions. But I definitely think is a must.
I really like the wheel adapter and the way it interacts with the gear and the bushing concept.
I like how you can drop the motors out and there is no backlash to adjust.
So basically all you are doing here is tightening a bunch of screws in sequence and you are set…
I really liked this install!!!
I had a little bit more resistance on the left side on the first few spins but it seemed to loosen up.
I only spun it up a tiny bit and not at full speed.
Wanna let that loctite sit a couple days…
But it’s looking good and it was fun to do.
I am looking forward to actually riding them.
I also finally got around to slaping the Green and white Riptide Bushings in.
