You did great, you did the right thing. whenever you're installing a big motor nine times out of 10 you have to file the dropouts to get it to fit but don't forget your probably going to need some sort of steel torque arm to manage that forse coming from the rear motor.
I’m glad you’re putting this build out here for people to get more info on. There’s a lot of bikes upgraded but no one puts the videos out. I couldn’t film and explain lol just the regular progress posts on FB group pages
The mounting bracket where the caliper is mounted to is slotted for adjustment for in and out for your caliber all you have to do is loosen the bolts squeeze the lever and hold the lever it'll RECenter Don't let it go until you tighten the bolts that's how you center the caliper
I cant believe I didn’t recommend an idea to you several clips ago. My bad. If there was any miniature railway clubs or model engineering places close to you. They may have a machine shop. And someone could of done that to for you. But looks like you done a good job throw with what you had. Good on you.
I knew you could do it! 😃The biggest problem would be filing/cutting on the steel brackets so it's a good they were aluminum. You might want to use green LokTite when assembling it since there's some extreme torque on those dropouts and brackets. The old machine shops from years ago would have done that for you real cheap and wouldn't think anything of it.
I seriously recommend what you did. Doing the same build for my s2. Called a few places and basically they only do big projects, 1k$ minimum. I had a dremel handy but didn’t have carbide burrs so bought some. Just have to be careful and do it slowly. I hooked up the whole system and one thing to note is it looks like there’s a extra hall sensor wire on the motor, you just need one. And still works. I will have to check on the motor wire again to see if it rubs, appreciate your insight there.super excited to seeing your build finish. Your initial vids inspired me to do the same
@@MrCentralDriver sweet! It’s day and night compared to the stock motor. You have a onyx and a surron already so probably won’t blow you away the same. Enjoy the hell out of it tho, cant wait to see your next riding vids on it
Flip the axle upside down so the wires are poking out the bottom of the bike for the hub motor and then run the wires down out the bottom and then hook it to the frame with zip ties
What if I wanted to use a smaller dropout size for my motor instead of the standard 190mm? I found a motor I want to use but it has only 150mm dropouts.
@@MrCentralDriver Why is your control unit different, because I wanted to buy a 5000 watt motor, and it had a control that said with Bluetooth to be programmed, please reply

its hard to film while I'm still not understanding the process but explaining as I learn. so took me awhile to finish.
I have a 20 rim 4inch wide 5000 w 190 dropout , please tell me the dropout is. if you know, I see a used frame for sale.
Looking good Jon! let's hope when you connect it everything runs smoothly Great blog Dude!

The brake is all the way to one side is what I was trying to say. It could slide over more but it’s maxed out
I dealt with the same problem putting a 3000 watt hub motor on my ridstar q20

Well done bro plus you saved €200 and I'm glad things are coming together 👍🏾
Put small washers on the brake calliper mounting bracket to realine the caliper rather than moving the rotor closer to the cable

Mine is up and running!!

Yes you are doing right way one inside and outside

Good job watch out hall wires thx Mr Cd.
awesome man, thanks for putting this together!! gotta run through the series
No problem !
Man up dude and put that money towards the build else where you KNOW you’ll need it Nice job. I’m fixing to do the same mod to a Madmod (Sondors)
Amazing job !!!
Can you not move the motor cable to the other side? You should be able to reroute them. You’d have to open the motor up though to move it.
What if I wanted to use a smaller dropout size for my motor instead of the standard 190mm? I found a motor I want to use but it has only 150mm dropouts.
Just use spacers to make up the difference no big deal
Can you please tell me how or where can I get a seat like the one you have in your bandas Supper 73? Thanks in advance 😊
Blur boundaries
Could of put thr wheel so that it was opposite way and them the wire wouldve had a lil more clearance as frame woukdnt be in way
There's no expectations in public you want your own privacy make your own privacy doesn't matter if a person wants to be recorded or not
When I installed the new wheel, was programming needed?
Nope. Not on my controller
@@MrCentralDriver Why is your control unit different, because I wanted to buy a 5000 watt motor, and it had a control that said with Bluetooth to be programmed, please reply
Can you tell me what the rear dropout is , please
190mm
I bought some Mercedes Benz flat head disk break bolts if that helps with that.
So the other dropout plate does not need to be machined at all?
nope. not on my RX build anyways
Dealing with cut motor cables is not fun. Why not spin the axle 180, it will give you more room to pull the cable away from the motor.
i was told from the instructions to point the cable straight along the bottom frame
Hay the mock setup looks good can't wait to see the end.❤❤ p.s I put a video of my build. Love the content 👊👊
I need to check it out. Super73?
@@MrCentralDriver hay the supper is looking beautiful I can't wait for it 😍
Do you off hand what size is the axel nut on that rear whee.
14mm
Oh s*** that I'm the first one on your video how about that
typical mistake to leave that spacer on there. Youre only supposed to leave it there if you dont put any rotor on
Found out the hard way lol
Wow am a machinest and I would have done it for free
That would have been awesome. Some places do it free but nobody around here. I would have paid for they wanted an hourly rate.
