That’s fucking crazy lol
I’d say that’s a well deserved upgrade
Congratulations dude.
Thank you! Been 683 days since the channel was created! It’s all up and on from here. Very excited for the future
Is that a rock in there or a piece of gum? Also please explain how there was a hole in the first place because that seems so strange
It’s for a set screw.
ooooh that makes way more sense than having a belt pulley that is hollow aluminum/ whatever other metal they might use. Mine don’t use set screws in the side like that so I didn’t realize that was an option
More gum like…
I will send it to the lab to verify…
Why send it to a lab when you have a mouth?
please don’t actually try to eat it
How does it taste?
Future Motion’s lawyers are absolutely ecstatic right now. Between this and the CPSC they are going to be rolling in Bentleys by the end of the year.
with a fan connector charge port
Link??
Hmmmmmmm👀 would it be worth buying?
I would wait for reviews but if you want a DIY one wheel its the only option so only you can decide if it’s worth it.
…you know you can just etch the black anodizing off with some drain cleaner, yeah? Just making sure that’s not what you were going for.
@Martymane are these painted or powdercoated? Trying to find someone local to do some powdercoat and some of the prices are nuts
I forgot I had some acetone before I sanded it all off, but also I don’t even know if it would have removed it at all. I’d also still need to redo the letters on the side since all they did was use a laser to remove the paint to put that logo there.
Sanding after removing the paint would still need to be done as well to ensure that the spray paint I use has a nice surface finish. The final surface finish on the aluminum under the paint was not good enough to be able to use glossy enamel paint on it with a good outcome. It was fine for the rough truck bed liner-eqsue black paint though since that stuff hides flaws very well.
For the sake of science, I will test out the acetone in the areas where the bearings and bushing sits in. If it works it means I won’t need to tape them off when spraying the primer and paint. The area won’t be seen so if the surface finish is crap it won’t really matter anyway
Edit: also not going to lie it is very satisfying and pleasant to sand them down anyway. If I was worried about speed I would get out my orbital sander at the risk of messing up the shape in some areas and at the cost of my skin or gloves too probably.
