People who have bought from surf rodz! How long did shipping in the US take? Just found out I have a friend from there visiting in 2 weeks, and want to know what the chances are of a set of hangers arriving to him on time

Just did the hand test and it behaved as it should. I also connected it to the vesc that was connected to the other motor that worked fine. The problem motor did the same exact weird thing on the motor detection

What version of software are you using?
I donāt like the hexagon shape of those, and while I havenāt tried those specifically, the hexagon shape leads to stripping, especially in the 2mm size, and itās typically the bolt that strips and not the wrench.
The āhex-plusā shape from Wera helps because itās pressing on a surface and not a point, which drastically reduces stripping.

There is a little question mark in the motor detection area click that and try the suggestions. Typically I need to increase duty cycle from 5% to like 12% or more for a detection to happen.
The alternative thatās not quite as good, is if they are the same make and model of motor, and if you are using āunsensored BLDCā mode, then copy the āintegrator limitā and āBEMF couplingā numbers from the motor that detected successfully and then you donāt need to do a detection. Though itās better to have a customized number for that exact motor, itās not required.
Also you should avoid buying iTurds.

Little question
My VESC 6.6 only reads 0.05v for the receiver port
And that kinda doesnāt power my receiver
It was the wiresš

Bondhus felt no nonsense and stronger. They also have a lifetime warranty
The weras for 2.5 and below felt weak and quite flexible. I thought this instantly and asked a few people if they broke any and they didā¦
If it helps I havenāt stripped any bolts yet with these. I know its an unpopular opinion here but it is something that I have observed

i actually had a wera set and bought specifically for that pulley i mentioned above.
Problem was the extra girth the color left made it so i couldnāt fit it all the way down the thread, so it couldnāt even reach the allen set screw, thats when i got the harbor frieght ones, got it out but then when re tightening it the ball head snapped off so here I lie lol

I have broken one Wera wrench but I easily obtained a replacement for just the broken one for like $6 without buying a whole new set.
The problem is that typically itās not the wrench that breaks ā itās way more often the bolt that strips. Especially the small ones, like grubscrews that are stuck on and/or rusty and youāre trying to get something off.
Iād much rather take an occasional $6 wrench break than spend 5 hours trying to figure out how to get a stripped grub screw out of my drivetrain without destroying something. In my experience, the frequency of āstripped bolts with hex shaped wrenchesā is about ten times as frequent as ābroken wrenches with hex-plus shapesā.
So, to each their own, I guess.

also go take a look at the amazon reviews. Pretty impressive on the bondhus sets.
