Astro 3210 group buy?

[RWP]

Thanks!

Going to drive through the BB - no pedals...and move the motor to the down tube just in front of the BB.
#25 from the 3220 to the BB on the left side and #35 from the BB to the SRAM DD on the right.
I made a new shaft to fit the existing BB bearings and bearing holders/cups. It was a gas, my first real project with my bench top lathe and mill.

I got my 3220 and controller a few days ago. I also got the extra pulley you ordered for me Matt. I have decided to wait on using it for a little though. I am going move my cyclone onto my racelink for now. I want to build something else with the the Astro. I actually have a 8150 too that I might use the hv160 with first. My boy wants a go-kart. Thanks for doing the group buy. -David

No problem!

Orders are still shipping. All group buy motors are shipped and most "Post-group-buy" discount orders have shipped as well. I shipped 4 orders yesterday, a couple that were quite extensive.

Anyway, these group buys can be a bit difficult to facilitate. But, aside from the long duration, it has gone smoothly.

Wait till you see what I have happening behind the scenes to reveal in the coming month or so! :wink:

Oh, Man, you don't know the half of it. I would have had pics to post this weekend of our lathe tooling showed up. But, you will have to wait.

Matt,

not trying to seem impatient, but did you receive my PM i sent around a week ago?? It may not have sent properly as I am awaiting other PM's too that seem slightly late....everyones ignoring me hahaha JK. Or this could of just been overlooked by your busy schedule. Either way if you received it when you get the time :wink: .

[recumpence]

Nope, I never got it. Or, I never got the notification about it.

I will check my PM box.

Matt

 

[recumpence]

I went back ans checked. The past PM was about controller amring, etc correct? I responded to that PM already. However, you may not have gotten mine.

I will rewrite it. I may not get to it until tomorrow (it will be a long PM). But, I will return it! :wink:

Your drives are being assembled right now.

Matt

 

[rodgah]

ahh ok,
yeah about arming etc....can you not copy / paste what u originally sent from your sent items.....although if it were there i guess i would of received it. Thanks for the trouble Matt, as I said when you find the time.

Hi Guys,
With regard to Matt's chain-guard accessory has anyone contemplated have a 10% volume of light gear box oil to keep the chain lubricated??

 

[recumpence]

This is possible, but not needed. There is a ridge on the case bottom and cover that makes it relatively leak resistant. If you run a bead of sealant in that ridge, it will hold oil.

This is possible, but not needed.

Meant to ask you Matt what lube do you use/suggest for the #25 chains, I have been using straight graphite powder myself, no spraying of oil everywhere.

Hi Matt
3220 motor and controller have arrived and are in good condition. Looks and feels so smooth. Time to start playing with those hall sensor.

Thanks for your efforts in sending it Oz.
