Unity is not compatible with ack firmwareā¦ Roll it back to the stock unity firmware and it should work fine.
EDIT: I read more replies in the threadā¦ Try downloading latest tool version if you havenāt alreadyā¦ Loading ack may have borked something though in which case youāll have to go to GitHub at which point my knowledge endsā¦ Perhaps @Deodand will be able to chime in?

I think youāre right about running the Ack fw over road the Focbox Tool from seeing my unity and apply unity fw. So I just loaded the Focbox UI Tool and while pressing and holding the power button, the focbox UI pushed the unity fw, so everything was fixed after that and I could run the config through the Focbox UI and it works great now!
Thanks @BluPenguin @itsrow and @Jordicious
I thought I bricked my new Unity, but all is good now!

Bricking a unity is a painful thing to recognize, best to avoid the mental torture.
Happy to help.

Whats the best way to trim motor shafts? I need to shave off about 3mm and am not sure what tool most people use.
Motor in vise, spin up, sandpaper on shaft!
Jk, seriously donāt do that.
The right way would be to remove the shaft and turn it down on a lathe but you might not have oneā¦
Not sure what the diy/ghetto version would be

Man I almost thought you were serious for a second 
Good thing I donāt have a vise, let alone a lathe.
And when I say shave off 3mm I mean from the length, not diameter
Got a dremel with a cutoff wheel? Spin the motor while you hit it with a cutoff. Works just like a ghetto lathe, take your time. Donāt have a dremel? Go grab a cutoff wheel and do the same thing except it will take much longer, but the cutoff will still do itās job as the motor is spinning.

Thank you that sounds very doable, Iāll give it a shot 
Just be careful lolā¦ Cutoff wheels are already spinning super fast, plus the motor shaft spinningā¦ Wear eye protection and all that good stuff.

Ironically, it helps a lot to make sure the motor and the cutoff wheel are spinning in opposite directions. Otherwise youāre just going to just be spending a really long time rolling a cutoff wheel on a motor shaft at high speed

I have read tips and tricks here that involve using Ziploc bags and painters tape to seal as much of the motor away from the shaft thatās being cut. those metal filings will fly everywhere, and will be attracted to the magnets that are in the rotor

I had that wedge feeling when I first started using them. It was either having them way too tight or way too loose. Have you tried varying the set screws?
i think so. I even drilled the hole of the shockblock deeper so the screws take up more space inside it, making it harder to compress but no luck.
Is your nylon baseplate broken or deformed maybe? Thatās a crazy amount of turn for red blocks.

Not that i know. Iāll have a look.
Complete derail but Iām on here already, peeps here with experience on ebay: Iāve been selling spare shit I have on Ebay that Iām never going to use, sent a pair of motors to some dude, tracking says it showed up, he messages me saying he never got it, didnāt explicitly ask for a refund, I mentioned Iāll refund him after I file lost package insurance with USPS, since Iām not 100% sure if I punched in right address, a week later I tell him that he needs to ask for a refund through Ebay and Iāll honor it, not heard from him at allā¦ Was he trying to pull a fast one?

Hard to tell, sometimes USPS hides packages really well but itās also possible he was trying to catch you with your pants down.
