AstroDrive

The AstroDrives are a pair of enclosed gear drives that replace the stock Belt Drive system commonly found on Lacroix Boards. The AstroDrives strive to provide a free, frictionless ride experience with little to no upkeep time. 

Construction:
Each part is CNC machined from 6061-T6 aluminum. The gearbox case and plate are anodized black for a stealth look. The straight cut gears are hobbed from a chunk of alloy steel, then nitride hardened for longevity against wear. The wheel adapter is machined from POM plastic.

O-Ring Bearing Seal:
A unique o-ring bearing design has less drag than V groove seals found on other gear drives. The o-ring compresses when installed to seal the drive from debris. Free-roll is better than that of belts thanks to the dual bearing sealing setup.

Quick Assembly Design:
The wheel gear and hub are shipped pre-assembled, reducing assembly time. The gear drive slides over the hanger and stays on with no set screws. No alignment adjustments needed. Quick and easy to service.

Steel Straight Cut Gears
The MOD 1 straight cut gears are reliable and can survive shock loading better than that of POM plastic gears found in other gear drives. The gears can handle harsh riding including jumps, burnouts, and hard braking/accelerating. The gears will outlive the rest of the board.

*(Email about helical gearing if slightly lesser noise is required, usually desired by EU customers where electric skateboarding has legal challenges)
