then don’t worry

He’s breaking belts like they’re made out of papier mache. He needs to worry, and replace his wheel pulley.

[xsynatic]

I think it stays like in the image until it’s leaves the pulley. @BluPenguin need to check that.

@BillGordon exactly. 2 today, 2 a few days ago. 1 within 1 day.

may be someone should buy them for you this time instead of you buying them [to avoid the bad luck again]

So is that a no you haven’t tried it? I mean you can make the back of the belt thicker to make it stronger… Pics or I’m trying it . I think it will fail too I’m just curious how.

Arduino help needed here if someone can help out:

Boomer gets hands on Arduino!

Ahem…Boomer detected! You have been warned:face_with_monocle: Old guy here messing with stuff he doesn’t understand but sorely wants to. Been trying to setup up an Arduino uno to work a button controller via ppm in my Vesc mini and Focbox. I can get neither to show any readings when trying to map them. I know the code works because in the serial monitor it is showing the correct outputs for the program. I’m using the new Vesc tool and have updated the firmware on the Focbox. Motor setup OK,Bluet…

[BluPenguin]

I mean, go for it by all means lol, take pics n stuff. But no I haven’t tried it, I imagine since that even a slightly loose belt will slip, the slightest amount of give (without cord reinforcement) is going to just warp the teeth and spin free. But if you’re bored then do it for science

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ got it from telegram

@Fosterqc

I’ll just try another one of the mounts to see if that was the issue

no dice, same issue. My assumption is that my hanger has been machined out of tolerance slightly.

seriously has anyone with kahua trucks had belt tracking issues? I had them plenty with cast calibers but I could fix that.

I have settled on the solution of switching the bushings, and just running that truck up front where it tracks well.

oh shit… I have a whole other hanger to try too…

So somehow stupidly managed to get a metal pipe stuck into my bearing hole

I have tried grinding the pipe down and so on but it is still stuck fast what is the best way to remove the Bearing or the pipe

Thank you

[PixelatedPolyeurthan]

The idea was to use an adapter [pipe] to change the bearing size right? If it’s stuck use heat at a small flat head screw bit to push it out. If the bearings has rubber covering the beads (was going to say balls but that sounds wrong) then remove that because the heat might melt that

PS
Photos help

[Fosterqc]

aluminum?

[Halbj613]

So I found managed to damage the bearing a bit also
So would like to remove the whole bearing what is the best way to remove the bearing

What should I try heating it with?
