    MBS all terrain wheels

    I've got a thread on these wheels. It seems the plastic core of these wheels don't hold up to well. In my case the area around the bearing developed stress cracks and where the bolts slot thru the wheel developed cracks. Not too sure what came first. Chunks of plastic was missing. Perhaps...

    2.4Ghz Mini Remote

    Glad to see it worked out. Looks like I bent mine a little more than yours. With mine I was trying to duplicate the HKGT2B's trigger opening.

    2.4Ghz Mini Remote

    I also had a problem with the trigger being too small. My solution was to take apart the remote, remove the trigger assembly, use a heat gun to soften the trigger and widen the opening. Only bend and reshape the outer arm on the trigger.

    MBS all terrain longboard wheel

    Looks like there are cracks at the base of the spokes that run all the way from the front to back of the wheel. The area around where the wheel bearing sits has broken off in some places just below the spoke area on both the front and back. I wonder if running a 15mm pulley/belt places a bigger...

    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

    Wish I knew that before starting my build. Got to check the forum more often. I know what you mean about adjusting that tire. It was pure frustration. I suppose there was a reason why SKIKE stopped making those wheels. I do have some wheels (pneumatic) coming from Psychotiller, hopefully soon.

    My e-board caught fire

    I really don't know what happened. I do monitor the cells from time to time during charging and after charging. All cells seem fine. My LV cut-off is set at 3.4v. That particular ride was nothing stressful as far as a lot of hills or going full throttle. The DROK volt meter display showed 33.8V...

    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...

    http://shop.mbs.com/accessories-486/mountainboard-wheels/mbs-all-terrain-longboard-wheels-754.html Looks like the wheels are sold out at the moment. Opps, Brain fart. Had to edit my original post. The wheels are actually 100mm.

    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...

    Alien Drive Systems- Stunt scooter from scratch

    Been following your build. Your new ESC seems identical to TorqueBoards. Awesome ESC. I've used them on all my builds. I've also done what you've done, mounted a cooling fan on top of the heat sink. I found that the ESC could run as hot as 140* on 90 degree plus days. Adding the cooling fan...

    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...

    Tacon 160's and 110's are back in stock!

    Thanks for the post. There was a mention awhile back ago that these motors were no longer available. Glad to see that they are still available. Just placed my order.

    Help with Torqueboard 12s ESC

    The connectors BLK wire goes towards the outside of the receiver (opposite side of the number designation). Hope that makes sense.

    Help with Torqueboard 12s ESC

    Looks like you have too many connectors connected to your receiver. From your pix it looks like you have a dual output UBEC. Only one of the outputs is used. There should be only 2 connectors connected into the receiver. One connector from your UBEC and the long signal wire from your ESC hooked...

    Loaded Dervish/dual6355-190/dualVESC/90mmFlywheels/nunchuck

    Had the exact same problem you're encountering. You can run it like that but you'll find that the belts won't last. It's crucial that you have proper alignment. Sorry to say but the hangar needs to be filed down a bit. The easiest way is to find a washer that has a 3/4" hole and use that as a...

    Any tips on Vedder Anti-Spark switch?

    Not too sure if this helps. They do make a SBEC that is made for 2-13cell lipoly. It has dual voltage outputs 5A/5v and 10A/12v. I use this SBEC to power my automotive accent lighting on my boards. Its currently available at Hobby King (east). Its a Turnigy Multistar Twin Output SBEC.

    Question about 6s E-board

    I totally agree with sl33py on the 12t pulley. No matter what I did as far as belt tightness, the 9mm belt would skip. Really noticeable when climbing a hill or hard braking.
