The Carver... My final frontier

Do you mean like the style that diyelectric skateboard sells? B

ut I don’t think that reduces the cantilever forces because the belt is still away from the motor body.

Is the mount in a fixed position? Move it closed to the wheel pulley if not

If it is use m4 hex standoffs on the wheel pulley.

rafaelinmissouri · April 10, 2020, 4:44pm

Oh, sorry, i get what you mean now.
I can move the mount.
but the issue now is the motor shaft will hit the tire.

I will consider the idea of spacers to move the wheel pulley away from the tire. but they are so well aligned now… I almost dont want to mess with them.

Oh right

Dremel the shaft?

rafaelinmissouri · April 10, 2020, 4:45pm

yep. that is most likely the direction I will go. looking for videos on it now…

oh, the bag and rubber band are smarter than the cling wrap I was planning on using.

mutantbass · April 10, 2020, 4:50pm

make sure you wear glasses.

rafaelinmissouri · April 10, 2020, 4:54pm

Oh yeah. I always do when I pick up the Dremel.

Gotta be careful. No one wants a shaft that is too short…

Dude, how do you get your stuff so fast during a pandemic. We can’t receive any parcels since almost 20days.
Great looking build.

I understand your title now .

Royal mail is suffering so hard here

rafaelinmissouri · April 10, 2020, 5:51pm

This shipment from electric board solutions was one of the most remarkably fast deliveries I ever had. It was UPS
Some things have slowed down by a few days. But it is still moving well. The tires came FedEx from Florida. Took a couple days.
Amazon is no longer next day and some items take a week.
The Kaly enclosure is due tomorrow with USPS and I keep checking status and it looks to be moving slowly… We will see.

CiscoV · April 10, 2020, 5:53pm

Bro. Don’t cut the shaft on the motor Just move your mounts closer to the wheel
Easy fix

Tamatoa · April 10, 2020, 5:58pm

Well at least we don’t have to wait to see your progress.

rafaelinmissouri · April 10, 2020, 5:59pm

The motor Shaft will hit the tires is the issue. It is like stupid long…

CiscoV · April 10, 2020, 6:00pm

Ah. Ok then yes.
I don’t like to mutilate stuff unles it’s really necessary

ZachTetra · April 10, 2020, 6:00pm

From the pictures it looks within reason, its not like there’s 50mm between the motor face and the load on the pulley

Does the shaft come out the other side of the pulley? It looks flush or inset still

mutantbass · April 10, 2020, 6:02pm

listen you fucking noobs. his shaft will hit the tire if he brings the motor closer.
