Another thing for the toolkit of stripped screws that I’ve had tons of success with is left handed drill bits.
I’ve had more luck with left handed drill bits than I ever have with an extractor set.
And if it still doesn’t work, well you’re supposed to pre-drill a hole for the extractor anyway, so it can only make that step easier.
Wtf are those, where do you get them, and also what the heck is a left handed drill bit? That exists?
Did you use loctite on the bolts? (You should’ve)
blasting it with a butane torch or something can usually help a lot.
In the future, a quality set of Allen keys helps to prevent stripping bolts.
Wera 4 lyfe
Yeah I did loctite.
Spoken like a man who’s never snapped multiple 3mm wera keys 
I’ve only snapped one, and it was the 1.5mm
Nobody should be using M1.5 grub screws anyway. I did a dumb.
MBS doesnt make any good 200x50 tires
I got a fricken flat 
welcome… to the beginning of a long repetitous journey.
Welcome to the club, we got patches
One of many to come. 
I’m having a lot of trouble with my belt drive right now, under load, one of the pulleys keeps skipping and basically can’t pull under load. While a lot of this can be attributed to bad pulleys, I think I want to upgrade to some gear drives. Any suggestions on best drives for a mountainboard?
We don’t seem to have many options. I think etoxx makes one for matrix II. The MBS drive is cool but I think you would have to get different trucks. Have you considered a chain drive? No slipping and you might be able to get away with your current mounts. Would definitely be cheaper.
I’d recommend going with all steel gears if you want durability. Not many options out there. Boardnamics is kinda hard to get, especially straight cuts. APEX is also hard to get. Stooge is good if you wanna run open gears, but they are very loud and not enclosed (this I can help you get it setup). Poast also made his own open gear drive that is less loud, not sure if he has the mount made for Matrix 2 or not. Newbee has options for POM and steel slave pulleys, you can also request steel spur gear too if you msg him I think.
I can’t answer as to gears, but how many teeth are engaged on your motor pulleys?
Yeah those pulleys look pretty wonky. What material did you print them with?
