Quickie Groove Brushless TT build.

[hank]

Just a few pics so far with build.
Tyre wrong way round lol.

[Burgerman]

I wonder if the invacare parts will reject the sunrise parts or the other way around?

[hank]

Like you mentioned many times John.
They dont make a perfect factory STD chair.
You have to modify them.

Solid mount suspension mounts next.
No room for travel as top of motors would hit lugs of frame.

[ICEUK]

Hank wha tires and wheels have you got on your groove, did you have to modify the hub?

[Burgerman]

Mod hub yes with spacers. 120/70 or 110/80 shown fitted. Same as I did on the storm.

Thanks on reply John.

[Burgerman]

Somewhere on here theres some how to posts!

John.
Advice please on size of fuse between PM to batteries on my new build with GB brushless motors.
Built new loom using 10mm2 cables.

[Burgerman]

The one on my storm 4 was a stupid 80 Amp. After reprogramming it was borderline if you ask me. As I measured 175A often... It didnt blow but...

I suggest a 150A fuse. Esp with those cables.

[hank]

Thanks John.
I have a spare 150AMP.

Good job, i waiting to make my circle to put on my Invacare Typhoon 2 with gearless motors to put 110/80-8 tyre Heidenau because Kitaco i don't found to buy, i make the spacer from steel 3cm. How you make your circle from motor, to make it wide between motor and rim?

[hank]

Hi elryko1992
Same as Burgerman
Used 2mm alloy plate bent to make a ring
Rivited together then 5 alloy tubes 16mm dia 8mm clearance holes
45mm or 50mm long each. Then you need 5 longer cap screws to match
for each wheel half to fix together

Burgerman had a build thread but cant find it.

Ok thanks, maybe you found the thread.

[hank]

When finished tweeking to get how i like it
will then strip down all bits for powdercoating.
Going for all matt/satin black look or may have white frame.

NEED 10" rims for TT GB to go tubeless .

Saw this , and it's a good 14" tubeless candidate for GB , without losing torque .

[Burgerman]

Too thin. He likes the fat tyres, smoother ride, less sinking...

[hank]

Not for me shirley_hkg
but thanks

[Burgerman]

Ends up 14.3 diameter. almost 4 wide. But very little sidewall.

Is there any way to disable freewheel levers on brushless motors
as one of mine has broke off level with casing
they are very brittle hollow plastic.

Could they be disabled with wiring or will have to remove lever arm part
inside casings first.

[hank]

Wanted to blank them off with a cover plate if possible.

[shirley_hkg]

YES , you can avoid the inhabit by just shorting that blue micro switch .

Another thing worth noting is the plastic linkage will get displaced after a dozen clicks of the solenoid . That will render you an ineffective parking brake .

I'll hot glue it .

[hank]

I'll hot glue it .

I take it you mean glue the broken part back together.
