2019 time to reflect / 2020 forecast

All I want for 2020 is a good reliable remote with display that doesn’t suck ass and doesn’t cost a kidney. Everything else seems to be going pretty good.

Damn $250 for a fully assembled version. That is probably the most expensive option I have seen so far.

It also has more functions and a better feel than any remote I know of. (Evening feels like a toy in comparison honestly )
I hear a slightly more budget frindly version will be here in 2020.
But @DerelictRobot would be the one to bug about that.

2019… year of failed flipsky escs. Let’s hope for NEO!
Also the year I learned to build my own batteries and enclosures.
2020… the year I go backwards from 12s and vesc to 8s and rc esc for reliability

The final 1.0 OSRR is aiming at $150-200 retail, beta versions were hand built, small quantity, and came with a small dev kit. They were also offered at non-profit pricing @ $225, with a free upgrade to the final version.

It’s also worth mentioning that the thumbwheel used for the throttle is $70 retail, and worth every penny.

The $99 Hoyt Puck is hands down the best remote available right now, it just lacks a screen.

I have one of the beta osrrs and it has been the best remote I’ve used to date.

The day after I got my kaly I cracked it open and installed.

It seems the consensus is that it’s the best thing on the market though. Buy quality once.

2019:

  • Finished my first build to 100%
    (build thread after my exams end)
  • Made a board for my brother
    (needs some finishing touches + testing but it’s snowy)
  • Sold a friend of mine on a build
    (will have time to finish it after exams)
  • Got a spot-welder and learned how to make battery packs.
  • Slowly collecting parts for my next build, which I hope to assemble sometime early 2020 :slight_smile:

2020:

  • Hoping to convince more friends to get into esk8
  • Hoping either NeoBox or TB ESCs prove to be a reliable yet affordable ESC option
  • Hoping for good regulation to come in place. I don’t like avoiding the police.
  • When the new true Linux smartphones come out (Pinephone / Librem 5), I hope to have the time to develop some esk8 apps for them.

2019 :

  • 2 twin babies and thus no more time to build.
  • Bought parts as usual then enough for 2 builds because of no time to use them/build with.
  • But found a few hours to update my main build to v2. Not tested the board yet because of the weather and kids (twins are a real challenge, like never before. We’re so exhausted for months :wink: But it’s double joy for sure )

2020 :

  • Will build at least one of the two designed builds, maybe both if lucky (you never know with kids !)
  • Will build a first MTB \o/ Got some nice parts during BF. Need a Haero Bro deck for sure !
  • Keeping enjoying the twin babies and their big brother (and buy him a small skate)
  • Be nicer
