Hi
I’m looking for a source for compatible motors and drive chains in the UK to try to avoid the excessive costs. Everything else apart from the shield I can probably get… any ideas?
suitable motors are showing up on Amazon. I think you will find that once you
add up all the pieces individually, you will not be much cheaper than the kit.
Especially if you end up having to get a ring or triangulation kit cut as a
one-off

I’m in the UK too and its expensive once you add up shipping and import taxes. £200 extra maybe? maybe 50% more than the price of a kit. its hard to say on the import taxes, seems random.
I was able to get an unused kit second hand in the buy and sell section on here. Thats worth a go. Maybe put an ad up?
Otherwise i’m no help, finding the right motor might be hard. encoder pulses and all that. Let me know if you find a source of chain. Think im going to need some too.
Cheers
The gear ratio will likely be different, which is what amounts to different pulse numbers is GC settings. There is a good thread on how to count gears and determine the pulses. It’s sounds doable but definitely not the easy way.
