does anyone have a decent tutorial on mounting abec wheels i canāt find one online. specifically i need to see how abec wheels are normally mounted to adapters so i can see if iām doing it right.
What adapters, specifically? Can you provide photos/video to clarify your question?

I only know because Iāve swapped x things between matrix and surfrodz.

where can I find VESC FW 3.65 and higher? my googleing and forum searching is coming up dry
I have that but the FW on that is 3.63 my hardwear is 60 and Iām getting a notification that if in high amp situations with that fw using PPM (like I am) it could be cause a stuck throttleā¦ Iāve never needed to upload a different FW versions that what comes with the tool so Iām kind a floundering around here.
The latest vesc tool available from the website has the 3.66 fw. Just checked. Not sure if that stuck throttle problem has be fixed. You might want to look in the changelog or the github repo.

ok real question hereā¦ what is more or less the range of wh/kmās, for say 97mm urethane on a 1:1 direct drive? and conversely the same question for 200mm pneummies on 4:1 gearing
Loaded question. What is the winding and kV of the direct drive? Of the pneummies? At what speed?
Iām going to say most likely the nummies will edge out the direct drive at crawling speeds, especially uphill, due to efficiency reasons. As the direct drive approaches higher RPMs, itās going to far surpass the nummies on efficiency and rolling resistance.

UNLOADED:
Iām just wondering average ball-park numbers in wh/km for both set-ups
say 97mm urethane on a 1:1 direct drive? and conversely the same question for 200mm pneummies on 4:1 gearin
The pneummies probably as low as 1-2wh/km more than DD at around 15-25km/h and up to 10 or more wh/km at 50+km/h
A lot of low speed, high power acceleration will drop DD efficiency more than geared, in theory it prefers to cruise at closer to its max RPM at a constant speed

I hate to say it, but I think youāre kinda screwed - Those pulleys are designed to be a press fit with the appropriate wheels/cores. Those wheels apparently have a different core, which is far too loose of a fit.
I see a couple options:
- get different wheels that fit those pulleys
- get different pulleys that fit those wheels
- somehow modify the wheel and/or pulley to reduce play. Maybe assemble them onto the truck (for proper alignment) and then fill the voids with epoxy, with some foam or other filler material in strategic locations to prevent the epoxy from getting to places it shouldnāt be (e.g. bearings or shafts)?

What is regular? Which of our trucks are you referring to? The spring trucks have a skate truck pattern and two additional 6mm holes that can also be used.

Iām not referring to any of your trucks in particular, I just was under the impression that the hole pattern was different in some of your trucks maybe 
Fuck, iāll look for new wheels. I donāt know why torqueboards say they have abec adapters when their adapter doesnāt fitā¦

Theyāre great wheels, so also consider looking for a better pulley.
My clouds/iWonder wheels fit perfectly using the same pulleys I was using for ABEC 107s, so you appear to have clone pulleys there.
@cocopufz @BillGordon I just noticed this is for a @torqueboards direct-drive setup, not pulleys for belt drive. I have even less experience with DD, so Iām gonna leave it to others to sort out.
