So I have been trying to mix and match gears and it is turning into a nightmare... Amazon had both pulleys I needed, but one would ship in two days with amazon prime and the other would take almost a month from china which is ridiculous. I am trying to finish this project by the beginning of April as soon as my VESC comes in!
1) Where is the best place to purchase timing gears WITH FAST SHIPPING? (AKA SHIPPED FROM USA)
2) Which is the best type of belt for these projects? (GT2, XL, HTD?)
3) Can someone recommend a good belt width (and length) that wont take up too much room but will transfer the power well?
4) Can people list the gear ratios they are using and where they purchased them (in a timely manner)?
My goal is a 2.25 gear ratio with a 9mm wide belt driven by a 6364 SK3 245kV Brushless Outrunner
Will be run with a VESC with Torque Boards Mini Remote
Still deciding between a 22.2V system or a 44.4V system if anyone cares to touch on that as well, but my largest issue is finding the proper gears.
***Another issue I ran into, was I wanted to buy large heavy duty aluminum wheels with offroad tires for my long board. The rubber tire extends past the edge of the rim so it would rub on any belt riding near it. Has anyone run into this issue or had a fix for it? I was thinking just a simple spacer between rim and pulley, but that will create a lot of stress.
