    Loose fitting wheel bearings

    This may help somebody else. A cracking, grinding noise that I had on my drive wheel was driving me crazy. Hear it at lower speeds only. Couldn't figure out what the problem was. Figured it was something had gotten into the bearings. Swapped out new bearings, swapped out new motor, double...

    MBS all terrain longboard wheel

    Started to disassemble my board that caught fire and found something totally unexpected. Spun the drive wheel by hand and noticed it quite wobbly. Took the wheel off and found some of the spokes had broken. Took a look at my other wheels and all of them seem fine. Seems like these wheels can't...

    New build

    This build originally started out using the 5" Skike wheels from Alien drive. Didn't work out. All the wheels I received were not true. The board would wobble like crazy. At first I thought the wheel was not centered on the wheel but that was not the case. I placed the bare wheel on the trucks...

    Motor pulley source for Boosted drive wheel

    Got my hands on some Boosted drive wheels. Can someone confirm that it uses a 3mm pitch belt? Does anyone know where I can get a motor pulley assuming its a 3mm pitch? Looked on SDi and cant seem to locate a 3mm htd, 2 flange, 8mm bore pulley.

    My e-board caught fire

    Don't know what happened. Just finished boarding and about to turn the board off when it started to smoke. Turned it off and still smoking. Was thinking about turning the garden hose on it but changed my mind. Ran into the house to get a screw driver to take the lid off but decided that was not...

    MBS All-terrain longboard wheels

    Got these wheels some time ago, but never got around to doing anything with them...until today. These wheels were going to be for a new build. Couldn't wait and decided to mount them on one of my completed boards. Swapped out my 97mm for these 100mm's. I love the look of the fatter wheel. They...

    TorqueBoard mini controller

    My initial impression of this controller was good. Its a good pocket size, feels good in your hand, and very reliable. The one downside to this controller is the feel of the trigger. The trigger opening seems too small for what I'm used to on my HK-GT2B. Decided to see if I could remedy this...

    Third build

    Every build has it challenges. This challenge was seeing if Abec 11 Flywheels 107mm could be used with current bolt-on motor mounts on the market. The answer is a "yes" with some modifications to the truck. Using Torqueboard motor mount and Paris 195 trucks, some of the casting has to be...

    Second build

    So my second build is up and running. This build went a lot easier than my first build. There were a couple of things I did differently on this build. Instead of a battery display, I replaced it with a volt meter. Have to give credit to one of the members for the idea. Its easier to install and...

    Should I worry about excessive heat from the ESC

    Has anybody taken a temperature of their esc after riding? After riding I took a non contact thermometer and took a reading from the heat sink of 140F. Is that normal? I always thought the heat was biggest killer of electronic components. It got me thinking on my enclosure lid of placing a...

    Enclosures

    I'm amazed at the number of variety of custom enclosures made or already made ones used. Its hard to have a single enclosure that suits every ones build. I suppose the most determining factor on enclosure size is dictated by battery choice. When I made my enclosure, the size had to be able to...
