Yeah basically

And seal the motors, oil them and keep extra bearings in-stock, and donā€™t use sensors.

And have ZERO wires exiting the enclosure. Thatā€™s a big one.

Dude Iā€™m always jealous of this build. Iā€™m guessing youā€™ve said this elsewhere butā€¦ what kind of gear drives are those? Lacroix branded? Did they release their gear drives?

Thanks! Early prototype my friend. :wink:

I canā€™t speak towards availability/timeline on them.

Aside from thatā€¦ Yes

Iā€™m assuming a circlip just fell off but Iā€™m too drunk to diagnose. Spaceship costume offered minimal protection.

Oh shit how bad was it?

I was only going about 15 mph because there were kids trick or treating but still awkward. No real damage though.

Space ship is crashed though haha

I had a similar thing but much less noticeable turned out the motor resin was faulty and the starter was not fixed to the motor plate. Phase wires broke down and it blew 4 vescs over several months. Several messages to the vender who blaming VESCā€™s adventerly agreed to take a look at it sent it back the motor to the vender on this forum. said it was fine then when I worked out the issue refused to replace it as itā€™s over 3 months. (Conveniently PayPalā€™s claim window not even the legal Minimum window of the country)

That same Reseller justifies there higher cost because thay deal with people and fix issues better than the manufacture. Manufacturing wonā€™t deal with it as thay were soled to a reseller so there expensive paper weights.

Iā€™ll laugh my ass off if you tell me this was trampa

When I had a faulty motor from trampa, I emailed them with a video and went to bed.
Woke up with a tracking number for a new one and a return label for the bad one.
Had the replacement motor 3 days later (UK -> US)


Do you think the motor killed the gears or the gears killed the motor? :grimacing:

Iā€™m not entirely sureā€¦ Trying to perform a forensic analysis still.

Best guess is my V ring got sucked into the drive and fuckered everything up

Motor and gear are still working and in good shape :thinking:

Itā€™s the nature of the beast went for a ride today and broke my first belt. 8 years of esk8 this was my first broken belt. I have stripped teeth before but not had one outright break. My board ran fine one wheel driving it back home, had to dodge a lot of broken branches from the Halloween storm.
