Unfortunately these follow a mounting standard that is not found on the kart hubs I made
Got it, makes sense - I have those wheels bookmarked from when you posted them but sounds like I should look for an alternate offroad set to try that have the right holes
The eBay ones? Or the Amazon ones? The Amazon ones are 10in and the eBay ones (the ones I just posted) are the 13in.
The 13" ebay ones from the kart hub thread, which are those in the pic right?
I do have the Amazon 10" as well and should be riding them soon.
Interesting. It doesnāt look so tall when you are riding it.
How big are the tires?
Also can I get you to make one of those decks for me!!!
Oh, also do a kick flip
The tires are 5" (125mm). 5x1 innova/noname or Powerslide Road Warrior 125.
I wish I could make more of those decks. But they are so much work.
The best I can do is ollie, Iāll try next time.
Less key, more way. Would a lower profile key give you enough meat to work?
I was thinking of designing a pinion that had a partial keyway. Would be some weird custom shit
The risers are breaking my heartā¦
Cab you point the motors towards the back?
I think I did that on mine because of the enclosure.
They are so bad, I know!! ![]()
Iād put them in the back⦠but then how am I supposed to kick-flip the thing?! ![]()
Iām going to start hunting for some 184 mm BN hangars. Iāve got a set of super-small motor mounts from Idea that would be perfect for this board, I bet I can get the deck a lot lower.
I tried the motor mounts on some caliber II style hangars, but BN uses a squared taper on one end, so they donāt fitā¦
Tall risers arenāt good, but in my opinion they are far less bad than is generally apparent.
I am constantly threading the line of wheel bite to get the lowest possible stanceā¦
I realize. This is often more trouble than it is worth it.
Iāve solved wheelbite before by putting griptape on the wheels and simply removing any parts of the deck that are in the way. Remove the roadside bushings to make it a lot easier. When done, obviously replace the bushings and remove the griptape.
Canāt believe you have not done this yet
@Pecos patent pending SR125 soft formula.
Have you tested fit on five stars yet?
Medium soft, but red so it goes faster ![]()
The thing about using the wheel itself as the tool to cut the well, means it is in the perfect place and the exact perfect shape for your actual wheel. And you canāt go too deep by design.
Havenāt taken the snow tires out yet, hopefully this weekend - they definitely fit on 5stars no problem though.
I got a set of XL hubs that Iām planning on using - I found out that on fivestars itās harder to mount MBSās plastic belt pulleys totally on center, they have play in the bolt holes & donāt lock in nicely like on Rockstar II and XL hubs, so Fivestars ended up not being the best hub choice for me for the drive wheels.
Using them on non driven wheels doesnāt have that prob tho, I went on a ride with MBS T2 tires on 5stars in front XLs in back the thought being I could get more full wheelsets for cheaper that way. But I liked having the wider contact patch shape the XL hubs give the T2 tires so I decided to go all XL in the end.
