Will you post the battery case .STL files on thingiverse?

http://www.aliexpress.com/item/2-4Ghz-mini-remote-controller-with-receiver-for-electric-skateboard-longboard/32607181070.html works well for me. Easy to control. No fuss

Hi im having problems with the range/Interference issues when using the wiiceiver using a NYKO kama. When im going along the remote will just cut out and i have to lean down soo it is close to the board to reconnect again. I had it mounted under the board next to my esc with the ferrite ring...

With a drop through like that are you sure you will fit a 6s battery + case underneath without bottoming out on small bumps

I made this mistake and you might of aswell. Try pressing forward all the way down on the transmitter then press reverse all the way down on the transmitter and look for a speed difference. I had mine configured the other way round and had reverse as my forward and was only getting 40% power...

I printed it my self. Cost me about $2 in filament to print. Didnt realise companies would charge that much to print a ~50g print. I used a layer thickness of 0.2mm i believe.

Are you sure the plug is all the way in on the Wiiceiver. Take off the reciever exterior case and try it?

Okay thanks for that. Im having a bit of trouble finding a 17t gear with the right dimensions soo i might just get the 16t and hope for the best. Haha cheers. I printed a mount using abs plastic with 100% infill and it pretty strong. I attached it by drilling 2 holes into the trucks (4mm)...

Try the first link. Thats what i used and i also have 97mm clones. The version that worked for me was the "Thick" model and the thick retainer. I found this out the hard way by first printing the normal 9mm version and found that it did fit but i couldnt get the rod through to the other side of...

Okay ive sorted the problem i hope. I printed out some HTD 5m 15,16,17 tooth gears and found that the 16 or 17 tooth worked great. I couldnt get the printed gears to stay on the motor shaft properly and have soo far broken 3 of them. Im going to order metal pulley's online. What should i go...

I said this above "Okay i got it to work properly. I had calibrated my remote incorrectly and as a result my motor was around the wrong way. As a result when i pressed the forward trigger it would engage reverse but it would still go forward (reverse thrust set to 40% soo i was only getting 40%...

Soo I thought i would create a thread that has links to various Gear models that can be 3d printed and used in the gear system of an electric longboard. Feel free to add your own gears etc. Printing gears could potentially be cheaper than making the gear system manually. Note: I did not make...

Yes i ended up fixing the speed problem. Thanks anyway.

Okay thanks guys. I think ill order a 15t gear to replace the 14t and i think that should fix the problem (hopefully). I had 3d printed my motor mount with a distance of 70mm inbetween the the centres of the 2 attach points (The motor centre and the centre of the truck hangar) soo the dimensions...
