I also really enjoyed that vid. What drone do you use for the high shots?

[SquishyCat]

Ay ty dude. It’s my friend’s drone (euc guy.) It’s a DJI Mavic Air 2.

Any new feelings about 8mm axles?

[JesseM]

@Cyanoacrylate

Id assume that this axle has seem more abuse than most will throw at it

[Cyanoacrylate]

Very true

Unfortunately 8mm is the only choice we have if we want our wheels to be compatible with most boards. There are some things we can still do to improve the strength.

This is so cool dude. So pretty.

How does it ride?

Also got a link for the rubber washers?

A Hummie Hubs & Deck build

Thanks! Link to rubber washers added : https://www.amazon.fr/dp/B06XQMSLQN?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details Yeah “double stack for 4x4!” I wanted to go AWD at the beginning to prevent the hubs for heating but @Hummieee told me it was heavier and not necessary. So I have another build with RWD and lipos : [image] [image] [image] [image] FWD doesn’t feel odd comparing to RWD. It makes me feel safer when going on bumps. Turning also feels more easy and natural.

It rides good! Free rolling is amazing. Startup is perfect without sensors with FW6.02 HFI!

Wait, why are 10mm axles with 10mm ID 22mm OD bearings not an option? Wheel can still stay the same.

[Tony_Stark]

We’ve destroyed all the bearings we’ve tested in a short time except for Zealous so far. 10 x 22 are just not meaty enough for our wheels.

[rusins]

Radium X Zealous 10mm bearings when? I’d buy a bunch

[Savage1]

Could a 28mm bearing set in your wheels work? (I do realize the cost of new or special cores though🤨)

I get that. Have you tried fast eddy’s 10x22x7 though? Most 10x22 are 6mm
They dont last like 608’s but i get 6-800 mi out of them. Cheap so i just keep some in the pack.
I’ve yet to have one catastrophically fail, they just are very apparently crunchy when done.

[rusins]

an inner 22mm seat and an outer 28mm seat would be dope, if space allows

Do you have build thread or specs?

[glyphiks]

would also be keen to see a build thread. thing looks clean AF. and those lights look awesome

Not sure I’m understanding that🤔

With this much R&D, and such a promising wheel, go all in on a 28mm OD bearing seat.
One could use bearings for 8mm, 10mm, and 12mm axels without compromising.

[rusins]

Side-profile of the wheel, cut open:

[Kutvis]

its in drafts will finish it by the end of the week

[itsrow]

Then you have less C-C distance on the already more fragile 22mm bearings, I’d side with @Savage1 on this one and put all the eggs in the 28mm bearing basket, MBS did it and it worked out fine for them. My Infinity hubs with a 22mm and 28mm bearing seat were an absolute wreck to get right.
