makes me wanna try the BN gear drive on it.
Omg @jamie this is only the second time i have ever laid eyes or hands on a real life 44. I am soooooo fucking stoked dude, this thing is an absolute work of art.
Thanks heaps dude! Fucking frothing!
btw @Boardnamics is there ant way to connect your 220mm hanger Gear Drive with my Trampa hubs?
thanks
sebastian
Do it! You won’t be disappointed
is nexusboards here?
Wheel disassembly was easy I hope?
Yup. I had the tools with me. 5 minutes job.
Is that a UAV dadbod?
You also posted a video in the pics only thread. Shame.
Looks like an EL2
“looks like” after already knowing what it is
Lol yes EL2
I imagine the dadbod will look somewhat different from the normal UAV
I figured it was just gonna have the same deck but a father enclosure
Maybe, I’ve not seen one yet either
How does the locked differential treat you?
Also man, inrunners look cool, I wanna dabble in them sometime.
Huh
Dual motors still have the ability to run at different RPM which does reduce slip in turns and acts as a virtual differential. Runing 2 wheels with one driveshaft is like having traction control forcefully on all the time.
It’s an EL2 for a customer that I took for a test ride. The cover is to preserve the deck and enclosure since its always moist in Portland
The UAV has a similar style but completely different deck and enclosure built from the ground up. All in house
Originally they were called motion pictures, so technically still on-topic.
to 3d print?
I actually want to mill it once I get a 3 axis (early next year probably). The design has a few cool features, but also many downsides. First of all it’s 5 milled parts + way too many screws and 5 long hex spacers. Lot of mill time, lot of weight, lot of material, and lot of tapping threads manually. So it’s expensive to make. But it’s also a cool design because I can easily mill it on a 3 axis in a single operation (this was #1 design criteria). Other features are, that the spokes can be swapped for other designs easily, and most importantly, I can remove the outer hub part without removing the axle nut - meaning tube and tire replacements would be very easy. This feature was inspired by Exway’s upcoming system, not my own idea though
I will probably 3D print a prototype before commiting to mill it out of a lot of material, though it won’t be rideable, because the design requires metal threads for a hopefully adequately robust assembly.
