Might of been, It was my buddies board. I was really baked when I did that though if he posted it haha.
First things first… It’s fucking huge. Like I thought my Landy Evo was huge. The deck was pretty solid, its so long you can really get a solid stance on it. The shape is nice compared to my Evo. I like a nice spot to rest my foot on for torque and that deck defiantly has it. Carving was amazing.
I want this robot to come work in my factory. I want it equipped with conversational AI so it can talk to me all day while building smaller robots that build boards.
They are neither. They’re carvon V2’s. I bought them late last year from a guy on the forum. One of namaki’s friends. They’re quite minty so I’m inclined to believe him when he said he put very little use to them. I believe Jerry machined 2 149 kv Sk3’s onto some fun box trucks. I really like them! Depending on how slow they are to start and braking power, might consider in the future rewinding them to lower kv and increase torque. Minus having to alter wheels, I must say the design is superb in its simplicity. His machined parts are gorgeous. No sensors, but I’ve always been a kickpush start kinda guy.
No, it’s an APS 8085 170kV.
The factory could be the same thou.
Got them on Black Friday for pretty much the same price as you can see on Ali.
I wouldn’t recommend to do a group buy with them.
I even didn’t ride them yet but had to exchange them twice. Once as it was shipped the wrong kV second because the big bearing was damaged from shipping.
I‘m super happy that APS handles warranty issues pretty good.
Don’t think that you get any support if you order directly from the factory or only if you pay shipping back to China which is ridiculous expensive for so big motors.
And yes I will cut one side of the shaft, but don’t see a reason to change anything on the diameter.
It’s no big problem to get pulleys, sprockets or gears with 12mm bore.
The noise issues have been mainly with the 8072 motors. They have a different design than the 8085 motor size.
One thing I forgot to mention.
If you buy 80xx motors than you need different motor mounts or as min an adapter as the bolt pattern is different. This bolt pattern also differs with any brand. So a APS 80xx motor wouldn’t fit on a leopard 8072 motor mount.
That’s actually all the riptide parts on a spud deck lol. Was just bored at 3am.
Riptide deck has maytech parts now. Just needs an enclosure. Im gonna redeck the maytech parts on another deck too but im still working on it.
Then…
All the riptide parts are going back on the riptide deck and im giving that to my wife for getting to work.
That’s right.
Didn’t know about kugis issues, but about as min 3 others have had issues with 8075 motors.
I can confirm that this high pitching noise comes not only on 80xx APS motors. Also the 6384 motors have similar issues at a specific rpm.
It’s not affecting the riding but sound strange.
I got it under control with battle harden the motors.
APS bought or maybe still buy there motors from freerchobby so I wouldn’t expect batter quality from there.
I would rather get a group buy done with leopard 8072 or maytech 8085 motors.
They more expensive but also more reliable.
