i probably will soon have to use darenoâs idler hack,
in theory - is it prefered for idlers to be small or large in diameter ?
leaving this here incase anyone is looking for the info:
tldr: idler should be atleast 1,25 times the diameter of motor pulley
Has anyone ever made the spring on a gt2b a bit better? Would really love a tighter spring on mine
Nano remote or Mini remote???
The nano is obviously smaller, has a built in screen and a better instead of AA batteries on the mini.
Any other difference in behavior or quality you experienced?
Hey guys! Am feeling really hesitant about building a board. Have seen videos of guys being thrown from theirs. I have heard this could be caused by connection issues to a remote. Is this something easily avoided? Are there other issues that could throw a rider from their board that could be easily remedied?
Well of course there is 1000 scenarios⌠The most obvious one is riding too fast 
Iâm currently waiting for my parts to arrive - I donât think you should go over 30kmh as an absolute beginner.
But on the technical side thereâs only the remote that I can think of⌠Maybe the belt gets stuck or something because of a small rock etc. But that is unavoidable and can happen to you without an esk8 too.
So pretty much the biggest problem is the person riding the board in most cases
Just go with a 2,4GHz remote, not a 400 something MHz one, donât experiment with Chinese sellers like AliExpress too much if youâre looking for 100% safety. Thatâs all I can think of as of now.
The nano doesnât have a screen. Its just a shiny part of the plastic.
It depends on what kind of remote you like. Thumbwheel or trigger. I used the nano for a while and liked it, i now have a mini coming to try new things.
I donât know if the mini has the same âissueâ but you have to calibrate your nano remote EVERY time you turn it off.
Whatâs âbetterâ in your opinion the torqueboard 6374 190kv motor or the maytech unsealed 6374 190kv
Why do you need / What is
Minimum battery current? Why is it always a negative value? I thought of electricity as 0V (GND) and a positive voltageâŚ
Better is a vague word⌠If it is about price. Well you have to choose yourself, the Maytech may be cheaper, but i donât know if it will last you long (though I only heared good things about maytech motors). For better quality I would always buy in western countries as a general rule.
I personally would stick to the maytech. But thatâs because im on tight budgets, if you have the money, go safe with a TB one
PS: Iâm still kind of new to this topic so better get a second opinion on that from someone who has more experience than me!
Good you warned me about that!
Why is there a plastic polished thing when it is exactly the size of the common oled displaysâŚ
Oof
Whatâs the cheapest OLED display remote you know?
@wisskt if you donât want these things to happen then the best advice is not to go cheap on parts. Main issues mainly come from hardware, either because it is cheap or sometimes because of new firmware on smarter ESC like the Unity. those all get fixed very quickly though and obviously if you donât want to be the first trying new firmware you donât have to, a lot of people stay on much younger/reliable versions.
The biggest tip is to get a quality VESC like a unity/focbox/VESC6/ and some others that are being tested. forget flipsky, they are called flipshit for a reason, unless you buy some of their much pricier focer escâs.
Then get good motors and a good battery. i think when you want to build a ââproblem-free boardââ the best you can do is go overkill then what you need.
Many people might disagree but if you donât have a budget of at least 1400euro then donât go into DIY, just buy a prebuilt. especially if you are not experienced or donât what to do maintenance.
can anyone point me in the direct of a thread where people have listed their setups and setting or does it not exist
Vesc settings?
yeah sorry
I donât think there is a thread dedicted to that as there are many factors but assuming you want to know batt max and all that we need to know your specs.
what;
I canât answer directly because i havnât tested that much but others have more experiance so they can tell you give us those specs
unity p42a 12s4p tb6374 190kv 150lbs 15t/40t
The answer (or at least a hint) is right in the name: Minimum battery current, not voltage. That setting is basically asking âhow many amps is it safe to stuff back into the battery during braking?â Set it too low, and youâll have weak brakes at high speed. Set it too high, and youâll have strong brakes, and possibly damage your battery.
I partly disagree on that - 1400 EUR is a lot of money, even 1000 EUR can make for a premium and solid esk8. The advantage of a pre-built is that everything is designed to work together flawlessly. But a 430 USD Meepo V3 has its downsides too. If you know what youâre doing, a DIY build with nearly every budget is better than buying a new one and itâs gonna turn out cheaper In the end. Same for computer parts, right?
Donât want to sound rude! <3
I may be wrong!
