Just as production boards have made a lot of progress, the level of component development by third-party parts companies seems to be huge recently. The NEWBEE 4GS Kit we tested in this video was the best-performing gear drive compared to the drive system itself only. If you are planning a DIY build using mountain board trucks and gear drives, I think 4GS is the best option now. (5:20 Bearing Exterior diameter 23 mm => 28 mm) 완제품 보드들이 많은 발전을 한것과 같이, 최근 서드파티 부품회사들의 부품개발수준도 엄청난것 같습니다. 이번 비디오에서 테스트해본 NEWBEE의 4GS Kit는 드라이브시스템 자체로만 비교해봤을때 가장 좋은 퍼포먼스의 기어드라이브였습니다. 마운틴보드트럭과 기어드라이브를 사용한 DIY빌드를 계획하신다면 4GS는 가장 좋은 옵션이지 않을까 생각됩니다.

⚡ *More gear drives!* ⚡ The more the better, increases competition and choice 🤙🏼 Nice new text style man. You know it's game time when the music starts! Nice clean design.
You made the same comment as my sister said.lol :) Your comments always seem to know exactly what I want to show and say~ That's why I love your comments HaHa~ Thank you brother!
I always have this feeling that you keep on giving us little presents . thank you for the built. I would love to know how these stack up to the meepo gear drives . Also it would be cool if you make a comparesment between these current drives , the jumpdrives and the most common , the boardnamic drives,
Thank you for saying that ~ And everything is different from the gear drive of the meepo except it has four gears. (The combination way of the gear box and motor, the bearing mounting method of the gear, the cutting shape of the gear, etc) And if I have a chance, I'll try :)
I really like the final look of this re-build and the motor sounds nice for a ride where it's not too noisy but enough to warn pedestrians. I'd like to try gear drives someday
I really like the look of the shorter boards and big wheels like this and the Lacroix. Super cool and hope you enjoy using it 😊 the weather in the UK is terrible at the moment.
Just FYI regarding Newbees hubs, they need 22.0mm bearing spacers. 22.2mm spacers will need to be sanded down in order for the outer bearing races to make contact with the wheel. I also used Loctite 609 between the bearings and hubs to prevent the outer races from spinning since the hubs are machined with loose tolerance for easy bearing install.
This board looks like fancy crossover in urban environment. Meant to ride off-road but to cool too get dirty:) You are piling up on board already. If it is your flat you live in, it is starting to look like garage with carpet. Nice;)
@@fujio001maintenance is very easy. I just opened mine recently to clean and add new grease. There's a good video here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-3s0nzvxzgZw.html
I'm happy that your testing the good stuff and we can decide if it works for us, or not... Very good review as always 👍 This will now be exciting which brand will offer this Geardrive in a complete board. After Apex now offers an outstanding, Acedeck also offers a quiet and Meepo now follows (only individually purchasable)... Where is the journey going? Is the belt drive still up to date?
@@MarkRockShock Actually the gear drive Meepo are offering now looks very inspired by the Newbee drive. Also the Exway too. Gear drives have been around for a while now but were mostly used by DIYers. Now they are being adopted by the mass-market manufacturers.
Those wheels are from Newbee, check the link. www.newbee.store/?spm=..index.header_1.1&spm_prev=..product_dc8af9df-a623-4023-a42d-e9dd669940d4.header_1.1
i think gear drive is ovehyped. 20mm belt is much lighter, have customizable gear ratio, have less noise and cheaper(almost all components can be 3d printed)
I also agree with you to a certain extent. However, in the case of this 4GS, there was no significant difference in weight and the drive noise was smaller than that of a belt drive. Each drive has its pros and cons, but what I felt the most from the review is that there are more choices to experience these new technologies on the Esk8. And I think it could be much more satisfying for someone~ Thank you for watching and for your comment too :)
@@ryanschulz9893 There's already way more usage of gear drives than direct drives. They have already been around for a while now but have mostly been used on higher end boards (e.g. Kaly, Bioboards, etc.) and in the DIY community. It's just that you're now starting to see the mass-market manufacturers like Meepo, Exway, Acedeck, and others adopting them.
a metal spur gear....the using what is likely Delrin nylon meshing gears.....that is not going to have a long life span.....even if the gears were glass filled nylon which is much stranger and hard wearing.....how do you see these lasting wear wise...metal against plastic is not a good competition for loaded gears?!?!?
I felt the same way as you when I was not familiar with the material of POM. However, after learning that it is used as a gear material for many electric car companies, I looked for more knowledge about it. Gear made of POM material reduces noise generation and has a lower friction coefficient than metal gear, so there is less heat generation. This eliminates the need to use many lubricants. In terms of durability, it can be said that it has been proven as much as it is used in cars. (They also placed metal and POM gears together.) Thanks~
This design is not like others. A lot of load is spread through the secondary gears. They did a lot of testing including jumping, etc. However of course time will tell. After 3000 km on one set I opened it up and everything looks fantastic. We'll see.
@@KAMiJUINs Hi there, I am very familiar with POM which is nylon as I am an automotive engineer, normal POM is soft as you know from experience of nylon products, ergo this is not normal nylon and is most likely Delrin a very hard form of nylon. Note nylon is highly suseptable to moisture absorbtion (hydroscopic)and thus swelling Delrin being a moderate exception to this rule. Delrin is used more on loading gears, such as light weight mechanisms an example being runners on sliding doors or gearing on moving doors on low duty cycle machinery. POM is widely used on geared system but only generally in things like motorised window winders and other relatively low abuse and low duty cycle parts, a classic example of POM is the toothed gear on a Scalextric ar or RC car, but the difference is they dont pull around 75kg over rough terrain, lets hope they do last buddy would be good if they do....but i have my reservations....fingers crossed
@@AdrianCho The issue is less about load, although this does play a significant factor in it, it is about two fundamental things, material hardness and the abrasion of metal against plastic, as i pointed out hopefully they are delrin, the next is torque inputs, the constant shift of load and torque combined slowly fatigues plastics, you cannot tell by looking, now jumping though it may seem to have bearing is less influential most shock is absorbed by the tyres and wheel, a moderate amount is transferred to the teeth in the drive train, but, despite having done 3000km which in actual fact is very low milage the reality jumping would have constituted only a tiny % of that ride time, and if most was then done on none aggressive terrain like rocky trails etc then loads will have been low to moderate, as far a wear you will be barely able to tell it an certainly not by looking only by measuring changes in back lash, as far a fatigue zero chance of observing it, and this is the issue, once it reaches it fatigue yield duty cycle it will give no warning and simply shear teeth.....however all this being said, if the riding one wishes to do is mainly street and smooth paths then yeah it certainly is a viable option. just seem odd to use plastic when the very same gear would readily be available in metal.
