@ThomasL - XL version are 6380s. A 6396 is basically the same size motor as a 6380. The only difference is an added bearing and a bit more added space to secure the motor shaft.

Unfortunately, the TB DD XL hanger length is too thin and too long IMO. For it to be more durable, we’d need to use a larger motor as the inside diameter of the motor is otherwise too small.

@Wandagoner - You can use a rubber mallet and ATTACK :rofl: the inside collar of the motor. This will release the motor from the truck.

@Meeep - For the most part, I’d keep them dirt free as much as possible. I wouldn’t recommend riding in the rain. I typically like to use belt drive for rain as things are easily replaceable.

I would re-oil bearings once they start feeling dry. To replace the actual bearing would require a jig and press. If you do have issues, let us know.

Thanks Dexter - i already have the motor dislodged from the truck. i am now trying to remove the housing to fix, what i believe to be, a loose or broken magnet inside the motor.

are you able to provide guidance on removing the housing?

@wandagoner - would require a jig and press. Send us an email with a video of the issue.

Hello guys,
I put my new 110MM wheels on my never used Torqueboard DD and one motor is loose on the axle creating quite a bit of play. Nuts are not too tight or too loose, and the other motor is really smooth and fits the truck perfectly.

See the video :

Is this a known issue or is my motor / truck bad?

@torqueboards
Thanks

It’s not really an issue. I have the same thing, it causes some chatter, but it’s only sound, nothing to be alarmed by.

You can take the motor off and glob some thermal paste in there, it will help with heat transfer as well as dampen the chatter. alternatively you can shim it with some thin tape, kapton or electrical tape, whatever fills that (just square part) gap a bit and you will be good to go.

WHat @Skatardude10 said. I put a lil piece of electrical tape and stopped it all completely.

to pile on… i used some thermal tape as i found 3m “33” tape was too thick.

That makes us 3 :slight_smile: still wish I had the 75kv instead of the 90kv, managed a top speed of 40mph once, scary as hell

Please ask some questions here

And also start your own build thread

@BillGordon might be nice enough to bump your account

You can just connect the three big wires (for each motor) and set up the ESC in “unsensored” mode if you want to. In fact, I recommend it.

#201

Offtopic but I find it a bit ironic that you’re willing to use FW 4 for the HFI feature with some known issues rather than Ackmaniac and a sensor in the motor.

#202

I mainly use Ackmaniac 3.103 without sensors. Only one skate has 4.1 on it, as a test.

Hello Dexter @torqueboards,

I have an issue with one of my motors. It has never been used or even plugged to power for now. While mouting the 110s I saw that one motor have a weird resistance when I roll it with my hands :
One is very easy to roll, very smooth. The other is harder to roll and even become harder at certain part of the rotation.

Thanks to many helpful advices on the noob questions thread, here is what I tried :

  • Tested making sure the phase wires are not touching

  • Checked the phase wires resistances with a multimeter, everything is the same on both motors
    image

  • Checked if the kegel adapters screws were not too long / did damage anything (It does not seems possible using the screws you included anyway).

  • The axle nut is not too tight, in fact the resistance is still there without wheel or nut.

Should we arrange a return or do you want me to test something else before ? Could this be an issue with a magnet / windings ?

Thanks.

Long shot but you can try putting a speed ring in between the wheel and the drive because that helped mine have no resistance. Good luck man.
