The first screech always makes me jump, no matter how many times I run detection

Arzamenable · January 20, 2021, 7:47am

Thanks. Canbus tomorrow. I’m still gun shy from last time. I have all the cables made.

I did an insta live (amateur hour with a flexy camera mount).

It’s nerve racking to do the moment of truth (first power up) live.

When I first noticed, it was that very moment I decided that Mike and I would be married some day.

I’ll loan you my shotgun if you let me officiate. Gonna have to catch him first though.

Arzamenable · January 20, 2021, 9:17pm

Just wait till a left hand turn (my toeside turns are slow)

Goofy bro for life!

Arzamenable · January 21, 2021, 3:02am

It spins!

So, the question on everyone’s lips… do you have space for another four unities for the octomotor build?

Arzamenable · January 21, 2021, 3:21am

… I still have my lunch box. And only if @BuildKitBoards sponsors me so these orange oldtimers can retire to a nice little 2wd build somewhere.

Those long battery cables send chills down my back.

If I thought you’d be anywhere close to maxxing these out, I’d suggest adding a capacitor near each ESC, or at least the far-away ESCs.

But I think it might be fine, IDK

The Carbon GT enclosure never ceases to be hilarious every time I look at it.

Arzamenable · January 21, 2021, 8:16am

The long cables also give me heartburn. I embiggened the enclosure depth and will have room for power wires to take the shortest path to escs.
(The wires will be shorter than original. )

@Arzamenable this is only tangentially related, but how would you explain the difference in ride between the RE44 with rkps and carver/mtb style decks with channel trucks - In terms of stability and in terms of turnyness. (to someone who has ridden neither)

rosco · January 21, 2021, 9:20pm

TKPs…?

Arzamenable · January 21, 2021, 9:43pm

True.

@Cyanoacrylate I’m not really good at describing the difference in ride feel.

I don’t try to push the speed on channels.

Cyanoacrylate · January 21, 2021, 9:48pm

what’s considered pushing the speed to you?

Arzamenable · January 22, 2021, 6:00am

Faster than 35mph on channels feels sketch to me. Some ppl are all about them, I didn’t skate obsessively on the them for nearly as long.

Arzamenable · January 22, 2021, 6:01am

Not very exciting, but my enclosure volume doubled, and all my guts fit.

BenjaminF · January 22, 2021, 6:19am

What the fuck wheels are those? Are you getting secret wheels now? Is everyone getting secret wheels?!
