Hey guys, so I recently received a second pair of Landwheel L3-x hub motors that I would love to add to my Frankenwheel build to convert it to 4wd.
When @Penny_Pincher sent the hub motors to me, I knew that they ran fine, but I wasn’t aware that they would be coming without sleeves, etc. Anyway, no hard feelings. I am in the process of trying to source the screws that hold the sleeves onto the hub motors, and Landwheel did it an interesting way. They used these conical screws that create a press-fit-friction-lock sort of mechanical connection between the hub and the sleeve.
By using this process it secures the sleeve in both the radial and axial directions - pretty smart, and probably why I have never had an issue with flapping noise or slipping.
I need to find these screws below: I tried searching around for them on Google but I wasn’t able to find anything that resembled them, nor do I know the technical term for these screws - weird considering my major but it does happen.
If anyone like @pkasanda or @Revel_Jason or @revel_flo who has worked extensively with the Landwheel brand has some extras or knows where to source these, that would be great - I need to find 16 of them, 8 for each wheel. Meanwhile, I’ll have a few more searches and see if I can come up with anything but I am not hopeful at this moment.
After looking at some of those they seem to be mostly hex head, whereas I need a flat top on them because of the plate that covers the outside of the hub.
They are torx T10 head screws, their diameter appears to be 0.21" and then 0.47" in length. Hard to exactly tell pitch but it was approx 7 or 8 threads / 0.1", so that would make it about 80 threads/in
Oh that bottom right one looks pretty close, you may be on to something. I’ll measure the thread diameter - the numbers didn’t work out super hot in metric either, that’s why I posted the pic in inches lol. One moment.
