Hey Guys, Noob all over here! Decided to build my own DIY board. However being UK Based we have poor roads, poor pavement and shitty police. Which means I have decided to give up on my 80mm kegal wheels and look at getting some SR Foamies. However I have been told by SR that I will need an adapter for my caliber 2 Trucks to fit their wheel. Would anyone have a clue where to find the adapter to get my conversion done?

Don’t buy SR foamies. They’re still selling the defective core.

I have read a few posts about their core. Would anyone recommend an AT wheel I can add to my trucks?

What ja mean

Is the belt on? Does the noise happen with it off? Sounds like a belt way too tight followed by a slipping grub screw on the motor pulley, but this noise alone makes is hard to diagnose.

Nah direct drive

Switch which ESC it’s connected to, does the noise change sides?

What are the results of the BLDC hand test?

Does it happen with no wheel or wheel adaptor?

Confirmed it def isn’t the can might be stator vesc or bearings

Can I use wd40 as bearing lube
Or bike lube?

Don’t use WD40 on any part of an esk8

bike chain lube would be better

gun oil is fine, but not as good

3-in-1 is fine

unused motor oil is even better
