That’s actually a good measurement factor

Thx, but I’m still far away from duffman und @NoWind levels 
Guess that’s never possible to reach thou. Definitely missing the machining background and the workshop as well.
Let me know early enough and I will charge up all my batteries for you

I think the mudplugger is probably the best 9 inch tyre you can get. Would love to find the factory

Me too, if they were cheaper I wouldn’t worry about wear, where is @tinp123 tire finding skills when we need?

Haha that was me who found it.
I just relayed my info to Tin
This is the Alibaba store where Tin wants to do the group buy

Had one more evening ride with the quad.
Getting better in climbing over the small dirt hill in my favorite park.
I did change the FW to a custom FW and I couldn’t reproduce the ABS overcurrent faults anymore, which I’m very happy about.
Needs some further testing thou.
Today’s ride was at 2 degrees C but I felt very warm (probably because of happiness inside )
Definitely need some concave pads for better steering. I also like the idea of using snowboard bindings and boots, but as I do not have any by my own I will just go with some concave pads for now.
Same as @glyphiks I love to have my workshop tip top cleaned and organized, so I just bought this new box to organize all my small parts (or as minimum the first part).
Might need one or two more of those boxes.

I love those boxes.i also would like to buy a few more of them

I had everything in those boxes before
My favorite part was when they unintentionally opened…which happened just too often.

Interesting how things can change.
For a long time I really like the narrow trampa decks and even the fact that half of your feets are hanging over the edge. Did help me to do tighter turns I thought.
The BRO deck wasn’t that comfortable for me in the beginning and also couldn’t do that hard turns I could with the trampa decks.
The last weeks I spend more time on the BRO deck and my trampa with attached printed wings and it became so familiar that I now had issues to feel comfortable on the narrow trampa deck I have on my quad.
So I decided to give the Sabre blades a try.
I really like the shape and the concave is not too aggressive, which makes it very comfortable to stay.
They just taped on usually, but I think that’s not enough, so I used my beloved Sikaflex to glue them to the deck.
24h later the Sika was dry and I still couldn’t decide on the grip tape design…
So I just did that…
Not pretty, but fast, easy and does the job.
Just wide enough to cover the length of my shoes 
Let’s see how they are going to hold up.

One more sexy Bro arrived a while back, so finally time to switch out the light white 15ply trampa deck.
The weight difference between the decks is 900g. That’s a huge weight saving especially for a jump board. Thinking now to get some 6355 motors to drop the weight even more.
If anybody want to get rid of some old 6355, hit me up with a pm. Shaft size, with or without sensors, doesn’t matter, it’s anyway just for fun project.
Ok, so now some pictures
On the 9“ Bro I realized that one of the motor cans was a bit lose, so I decided to investigate on it. First thought he helical hear moved a bit, but unfortunately it was the motor shaft which moved in the bell. I did hammer the shaft out, but the grub screw was so hard glued in that I couldn’t get it screwed out. Decided to swap the full bell.
There was one fucked thread on the motor and I thought it’s a good time to fix it with some helicoil threads.
Did that successfully, glued back the motor gear and gave it 24h dry time.
The moment I wanted to install everything back one more thread fucked up…
So, again to flame off the gear, open everything up… rethread… put together and give it another 24h to dry.
This time it did work out without problems.
Soooo why not to just adjust the backlash on the other motor as well… it’s s 5min Job, right?
No, fuck it… there as well one thread fucked up…
I decided to just drill out all holes on that motor directly and repair them all with helicoils.
3 days for a 1h job
After 2 years it was now also time to give the light white a new coloring.
For now I took off the old paint.
And glued on new wings
Not sure yet if I can manage to color it by my own, or if I should give it to somebody for a professional paint job.

I’ve got some 6355’s if you are interested…

I‘m not really good in spray painting, but I also was tooo lazy to bring that board to a professional paint shop, sooo here we go…
After glueing the wings with sika I did a bit of epoxy repair work. Not sure if that was a good idea in the long term, but we will see.
Started with a base coating
Coloring worked out ok till I lost my patience and decided to flip the deck to color the other side. Found out a day later that the color wasn’t dry in all places when I flipped it…
Lazy as I am I decided to just paint it over with a blue circle… that circle I fucked up as well, so I started to file all the paint off.
In process of doing this I realized it’s more or less becoming better
Result was this
Just gave it a clear coat on top and called it a day.
Yesterday I changed the electronics over.
Really like how it looks without bindings.
!
But I need bindings
Not sure how long I will use those gummies, but for taking pictures they are always good

It is time for some new sprockets.
I wanted to get some E-toxx sprockets like last time as they are really sexy and light.
To save some money I started to look around what i can find locally and came up with a shop that sold me 4 sprockets for the money I would have spend only for shipping.
So I thought I will try a bit more diy stuff.
I did 3D print a template for the hole pattern.
Luckily someone with the right tools and skills could drill me the M4 holes as I would definitely have had fucked them up.
At this point we have been here
With lots of sweat and tears I managed to get them to this point
I once more realized that I need a real workshop with ALL tools…
It took me round about 1.5h per sprocket and countless recharges for the power drill battery
Pretty happy with the final weight thou.
Plan was to get down to 250g per sprocket.
So not so far off

How on 
did you manage to drill the center hole with a hand drill? 
I don’t think I could have done it faster and I have a lathe and a mill.

ups, there was something…
For the center hole I made a 2cm thick wooden template/guide thing. I just screwed on the the sprocket and then drilled it out with a 57mm circle sawblade (as usual I do not know the right technical english terms, but I hope everybody get what I mean).
That part did work very well and was faster then I thought.
