TorqueBoards Direct Drive Motor Kit

Yeah, they are the same.

so i got some new ABEC adapters. For some reason on one side, it locks up the motor when i tighten the screws of the adapter even a slight bit. Any pointers?

@Edness - Could be tightness on the bearing. You can add m4 washers between the adapter + motor to get it to clear.

@torqueboards I seem to have something similar where one side of the DD feels like it is grinding against something and is very stiff. Like something is caught against the inside of the can? where as the other side moves more freely.

Wanted to get your advise before opening it up.

Please send a video to contact@torqueboards.com

Thanks Dex, that worked.

Another question, both kingpin bolt “clicks” while going side to side. Anyway to stop that and have the kingpin stay in place?

@Edness you need to tighten the kingpin nut to your liking. Sounds like it’s loose.

@Xpress2016 Can you contact me? I’d like to check on those axles. We haven’t had any issues with axles bending.

when i tighten it to the point where the kingpin clicking stops, the bushings are completely compressed and the board can not turn.

I’m referring to the boundmotor DD.
