no problem man, thanks heaps for the offer. i know those things are hard to get a hold of. but im not really into buying second hand as it doesnt really come with warranty. just lucky when i got the flipsky’s they were new so i sent them back today and just waiting on them to arrive so ic an get a refund on them. will definatly be getting the vesc from trampa dont really want to make more changes to this board than i already have haha
I go straight for Trampa™ VESC. This unity is brandnew and unopened.

yeh i tihnk i will end up going for the trampa vesc to be honest. i might even put my METR Pro Blutooth module up for sale as well and just go full trampa. the board is built with high qaulity so i dont see anything being cheaped out on and everything should be plug and play from there. wish i had just bought a full Eboard from them from the get go would of saved me a ton >.<

Keep your metr pro for troubleshooting and recording sessions. You could hook up a Davega X for seeing data during the ride. That’s my plan.

i agree, having something on deck would be nice, though i eventually plan on getting a smart remote or finishing my firefly nano remote to use so i would rather have it in hand than on my deck so i dont have to look down while riding to see speed etc. i got used to holding my phone in my hand but this can be dangerous in a crash. basically bye bye phone so i want to avoid holding it in my hand as much as possible.
I never ride or drive with a phone in a hand. That is my rule to me.

i dont drive with ym phone but riding i do. need GPS as im in a new city and still dont know where things are.
might look at making a mount for my phone or GPS on my board but that means i gota look down though

hmm so i just got my refund back from flipsky, as they had recieved the 3 fesc’s i sent back a duel 6.6 and 2 single 6.6’s and just did the conversion from the upgrade i paid for the 2 singles $593. i shoulda just went with trampa in the end >.< $593 compared to the $800ish it woulda cost me for aparently rock solid vesc’s any ways they had it sent to their engineering team and aparently 2 of the vesc’s had burned chips, they didnt specify which ones. this is on one of the fesc that lasted about <5 minutes of riding literly got around the corner from my street. and the dule 6.6 had the same issue.

So I ended up blowing 2 Trampa vescs. I think it’s time I take a look at the motor. Got some help from luke over on Facebook who helped me pry the motor sprocket off this morning took a few seconds and a blow torch. Was very thankful for the help as I live in an apartment and think its a little unfair if I light the place up. Was a nice ride 15km roughly in a round trip had to stop off at macas on the way back as I had flashing last bar on my board. Charged up and now about to go on my first group ride.

nah its like 1 top tier board its in AUD, the conversion for 3.5k USD to AUD… drum role please…
Kind of the reason why i went DIY, it should have been cheaper… but ya know… lots of shit goes wrong and you learn a really really really really really really really really really really really really hard lesson

Today’s a good day. Lots of different esk8 adventures. Rode out on a 15k round trip this morning and got some help from a member on Facebook to remove a motor sprocket so I can replace it and get this board up and running properly. Did my first group ride with a couple guys around Adelaide and had a blast. I only made it out on half charge and my board died on the way back. Luckily their were some renta scooters so I got home in the end. Carrying a board on a scooter is not fun BTW. Also finished building my battery got a new bms in last week and everything seems fine. I wired it up correctly this time and plugged in the charger. Started charging first shot which is fantastic. About time something started to go right?!
Not very clean but I leave for Melbourne Tuesday and was hoping to finish up this build next week when I get back. Still got to sort out esc’s again and a new motor. Yay.
