You would think I would be better at it by now…
Also that I would own a CNC or at least a working 3d printer lmao, well I have a resin printer I have not had a chance to break yet!

Lmao as long as you’re having fun
Till the project is done they say
(never will be)
Red dot covering up some kind of new system.
This is different from the totally different greaseless slip ring I mentioned.
well for twice as long yes but it is a fair bit heavier. Best to leave one pack at your swapout point.
I hookup up the two packs to their own individual VESC to compare the health of the used pack, it was out of whack compared to the newer one.
Hmm I really want to design a Brush PCB that also has a Cheap FOCer on the other side.
Perhaps silly to want them on the same PCB, maybe not. You could also just have the ESC mounted directly the the brush PCB using bolts.
You’re using Da blues ? I have some mad munkeys but can’t slide for shit, they are so grippy it stops me and doesn’t want to slide at all
yeah these coned out Da blues have a good balance of easy slides and hard grip haha
this is what I want to solve with my modular caster
I might be replacing this and therefore have two running leiftech drivetrains. That would be fun.
this is the bearings used in it. Not sure if 2rs would be bad in a lot little sealed motor or som
I got a SBX wheel. it uses a keyed 12mm shaft pressed into the hub. That is stepped down to 8mm with the bearings seating with a distance of about 59.5mm between the inner races.
oh huh only 70mm in diameter too.
Hmm that means the whole thing can be made with 8mm sheet. Sweet!
There is stuff to be learned from aaron’s dev work having to do with running VESC I think though.
Day=made
(Sounds like someone wants the full CAD model of the SBX dropped already )
I think the ParAll trucks designing work has helped me figure out a good concept design for a suspension caster.
I mean, I was thinking about using skateboard bushings for a while but I have better ideas now hahaha.
These two adapter parts let you use 1/2in hex shaft in a 22mm od bearing bore seat.
There is one more interesting hex drive wheel choice and that is the many many urethane compliant wheels out there.
I am thinking I can try something like @RipTideSports was thinking with a bunch of duros stacked to form a variable hardness, but form a rounded profile with harder wheels in the center. Possibly I could try larger diameter very soft wheels on the outside with harder smaller wheels in the center of the module.
The goal being allowing you to add as many wheels as you feel you need to ride on softer sand while also allowing the curved wheel feeling for switching edges. Gives me ideas about trying to make diy inflatable or at least my own hollow/compliant wheels.
I still have a good feeling about take two of @TheGoodMomentum’s wheels and putting them back to back to form a rounded wheel, modular with inserts as well!
do you think for a design intended for sand and possibly snow that screw drives could be appropriate drive methods?
Paddle wheels much better for speed I would guess.
heh I was thinking about maybe supporting some RC wheel hubs as there is some standard sizes. Then fit those sand tires.
