Neat gear drive, but they do not have an angular contact bearing. Also they are steel on steel. Both of these downsides match BN m1, so why would I prefer this design over BN m1 style.

I guess these are for DKP, and TKP like idea drives so thereā€™s a market. I just donā€™t get why they designed it like newbee drive but used metal gears? They donā€™t look small like superbeast drives so small wheels are still out.

Deck is almost an exact copy of the Meepo Hurricane deck.

Seems cool if you wanna trick out your production board

Iā€™d like to see these design facets make their way into other gear drives.

  • hole in mounting plate big enough to fit pinion through - fuck yes.
  • D-shafts - yeah sure, why not. Donā€™t have to mess with a key or be paranoid about it falling out and destroying the gears. Is there a downside?
  • Motor mount bolts are rotated 45 degrees from BN drives. phase wires exit at a pleasing angle.

Only one I could think of is that it would be harder to upgrade motors, and youā€™d still need either a grub or loctite

Very fair point. I canā€™t think of many esk8 motors with D shafts except maybe maytech and flipsky? Iā€™m sure reacher would make them for you, but nobody has done it yet. Seems like weā€™re stuck with motor keys for now as the default standard.

I like the look of these. They have some decent looking wheel hubs on their site too. Not totally my cup of tea but more options for people is always good.

Yeah dude. Those hubs are kinda hideous if you askmeā€¦

I guess the black ones are not a horrible price if someone wants to get into these.

I really wonder what type of folks will want to buy these drives.

Probably the ā€œuninformed publicā€ that is only really aware of off the shelf brands like Meepo etc. and want to mess with their factory board. Iā€™m all for people tweaking and customizing but I dunno about these things.

Looking at the assembly it seems like there is some opportunities for regular folks to fuck shit upā€¦

Iā€™d probably break theseā€¦
