Me and Suntorn are working on some more creative 3d printed slip ring prototypes (that fit the v2 and SBX) , so you could use them to make your model complete again later.
ngl I thought the hubs would be decent because the v2 motors were weak still overheated and took up alot of space with the belt drive. but now that I’ve tried the more powerful motors on the summerboard I’m having second thoughts. having more powerful motors does effect the drifts and lets you power your way through certain turns that wasnt possible on the v2.

I think the 56mm hoyt pocket rockets will kick ass and be more than enough to handle an adult going uphill for hours, do take up a ton of room though.
i think these hub motors would work way better since they already have the powerball shape and are like 1000W. only downside is their size. your have to use risers on the truck you’d have a higher center of gravity. not sure how well that would fell on a freebord.

this price is insanity.

Yep I almost got a set or two of them when they were on sale, wish I did. That is the hub that @alexincorsica is using for his project in E-Freeboard Open source Electric Caster
Price on the hoyt motors is a lot but you are paying for reliability even if you beat on them. Hoping they would last over a year of skatepark riding. Also that is the ONLY option I have found between 50 and 63mm motors that are not high KV inrunners or hubs ofc.
Racerstar 5065?

that is what I started with. It is fully supported in all my designs. It is actually the best choice with the modular design because you can slide the motor and not use an idler. Only use two bolts, or drill more holes.
This is the next thing I need to design a mounting plate for. The modular caster is designed to work with them with some adjustment.

That is a slight issue
boo mmm
oh if I offset the outer ring 15 deg I think I could have avoided that haha
hi dude
what i should approve my friend?

oh lol.
Just the last few pics I posted. The Modular caster I can think of no more improvements for. It can use either HTD 3M or 5M belt drive and fits the stock leiftech/sbx belt size. The motors it can use are all of them. Except 63mm motors, Yet. The HTD 5M belt drive parts all all COTS and readily available.
One of the few things I do not have is a good way to turn the JMK ride freeline skate wheels into wheels with a keyed 8mm drive axle. I can either do a custom hub adapter just for the JMK ride wheels or I could try a more universal skate wheel to 8mm keyed shaft adapter that would be very useful for testing. Hmm I have a fairly good idea for that actually.
Say what? I’m busy resellelling some things.

Something about a unnecessarily long list of reasons something is good one of them including the “Popeye-effect” while riding. Just feels like a product review you would give.

Sounds good Dude,
as long you are not sure that you really will stick with this specific wheel i would prefer something more generic IMO

opinion on should I make this cutout for the tapping of that set of threads deeper or let the tap cut those scratches out? it is not a strength issue, idk.
Does the tap need more room for cutting full depth?? idek
You’d need to use a taper tap for the initial threads and then a flat bottom one to do the ones furthest in
