I got the TB wheel pulley with the TB97mm wheels, the wheel pull has like a raised circle on the back, is that supposed to fit INTO the wheel?

Danezkilla · July 9, 2020, 11:38pm

it doesnt fit “flush” but when its tightened down it sits nicely

b264 · July 9, 2020, 11:52pm

Yes, definitely

BigBadLoser · July 10, 2020, 1:03am

…how do I get my wheel pulley lined up? It seems like everytime I tighten it down it’s a little wonky

Avoiding belt slip

Alignment – the best way I’ve found to perfectly align belts is

get motor mount (without motor) snug on hanger, then loosen a tiny bit so it moves

install wheel and pulley with no speedring (washer) between the hanger and inner bearing.

push motor mount flush up against wheel pulley so they are touching each other

keep those held tightly together while you tighten motor mount clamps

make sure mount is flush against, and touching, the wheel pulley, and there is no gap or misalignment

finish tightening mount clamp all the way

make sure again that mount is flush against, and touching, the wheel pulley, and there is no gap or misalignment

when you’re all done, take the wheel and pulley back off, add a single 1mm speedring (washer) and just like that, the pulley will be perfectly aligned and 1mm away from the motor mount plate

if you need it further away when you are doing tensioning, then add more washers

And also make sure your pulleys are concentric and don’t wobble at all

I meant when physically bolting it to the wheel

b264 · July 10, 2020, 2:50am

I know it doesn’t help you now, but that’s why I don’t use bolt-on pulleys. Getting it perfectly concentric and staying that way is a major hassle and sometimes not even possible.

Press-fit or insert pulleys (with a bearing) are much better

Anybody have any idea what’s causing this?

Phase wires are all good. In the video I am using the remote.

Only one motor is stuttering

Swap the motor cables from one side of the unity to the other and see if the issue follows the motor or the esc port.

Have you used those motors before?

ethana4 · July 10, 2020, 2:11am

I just did that and both motors worked great that way. Weird

Venom121212 · July 10, 2020, 2:15am

Probably a bad connection somewhere. Double check to make sure.

ethana4 · July 10, 2020, 2:19am

I’m not sure what it was, but I switch them back to the I want them and everything is working great now

Good answer , however, this should probably be in the noob questions thread. Or start your own build thread and people will help you out there
Search will help you.
Not a big deal but next time maybe.

ethana4 · July 10, 2020, 2:23am

Yeah if I could delete this thread I would. I posted the question before I started doing my own troubleshooting, which was dumb.

Guess I’m having Flipsky flashbacks where I would spend hours fixing their shitty esc’s.

Oh well

Agressivstreetlamp · July 10, 2020, 2:24am

Just edit you post into a build thread. One convenient location for your questiona and people can help better because they will have context. It’s super helpful imo

ethana4 · July 10, 2020, 2:27am

I have it listed under DIY builds. Is there another build thread?

Agressivstreetlamp · July 10, 2020, 3:21am

Nope this is the correct category for build logs. But not questions like this

kook · July 10, 2020, 3:36am

hi… this is my first post ever… I need help… can someone tell me exactly what’s wrong and how to fix it with the absolute minimum of reading and research…
