I was wondering if a motor axle would be a good place to find a 8mm keyed shaft already close to the right length and wow a TB6355 motor hit it ON THE DOT!
I am super happy with that.
I can’t find replacement shafts for a flipsky motor but I could prob contact them to buy them, or this could be an option: 83mm long vs 89mm
you know, that shot :
Your design seems complicate.
My idea was simple: having the original parts cut and welded back at largest position on the plate (both side of course).
You’ve made some nice progress, you made some great models I love it
Nice to see you here @PaleRider 
Bring it into a shop they can get that unstuck.
The goal is for my design was more than to replace the old components. But I think you did an excellent job at that on your board!
You could maybe share your 3D models with us?
@alexincorsica nice find with that video!! Glad you understand what I was talking about.
Guys, I wish you’ll find the ultimate upade for this board.
No more Freeboard for me: I had a very bad Freebord accident with multiple fractures on my left ankle last friday.
For the moment I don’t plan to going back ever on this machine, but how knows…
Anyway I’ll follow your progress here, it is still interest me.
Take care, and remember: even with the full protection package you can get badly injured.
No way man !!
How bad is it ? You caught and edge ?
J’espère que ca va… Tu en as pour combien de temps de rétablissement ?
Nothing crazy, on the contrary.
End of battery, last turn at slow sleep ( because of people) I had to bail out and I had a bad landing (I don’t know if I landed on the ground or on the moving board).
Twisted the ankle to the max and I broke all the ankle bones + tibia.
3hrs surgery and continuous pain since (I hope I didn’t catch covid at the hospital).
I musn’t lay the foot on the ground for at least for 6 weeks.
I guess it’s the perfect time to watch the movie Misery ::
You get better and we can do some belly-freeboarding, but best wishes for recovery I’m sure you are strong!
Thanks.
I might be strong, but I’m gonna be 50 years old end of this year.
Keep up the good work and sorry for the off-topic.
wow that certainly makes you one of the older members of the forum, much respect to you my friend!
I am just waiting to get the 3D printer fired up then I can check my dimensions on the leiftech v2 parts!
I don’t have any BBs so ball bearings from 608 bearings will have to do
Super glad I tried this out tho! Impressed is the least I could say, I damn near want to stand on this thing.
Didn’t make sense to buy one when the rest of it is printed!
I should made a 5045 model motor for fun too, I still have to get the pulley models accurate but then it should look pretty damn done.
I need green filament for the PCB.
