Hey Jared,

Were these kits’ escs being shipped out before the duty cycle current limit start weirdness popped up? Or are these escs not affected by it? Got a local guy with a kit I’m trying to help setup. Thanks!

[BuildKitBoards]

They are not running 5.X firmware so it shouldn’t be anything to worry about. If he’s running 5.X it is not the stock firmware that we recommend sticking with

[Venom121212]

Got it, thank you. I woke up to a frantic slew of messages and I think he updated to 5.1. Was experiencing weirdness with full throttle so I told him to drop the duty cycle current limit start and it went away.

Could you share the default settings and FW version sent with that kit so I can get him set straight?

[BuildKitBoards]

FW3.65 with default FOC detection results. 30A/-15A batt amps per side. 31v and 28v cutoff start and cutoff end.

PPM input wizard with adjusted polynomial curve of -5%/5%

[ZachTetra]

The kit still uses the VX1 right? Isn’t the low voltage display 32V there?

I can’t find a “main” BKB thread and this seems to be the most recently updated one so ere goes:

Do you folks plan to have more stock of tayto deck + enclosures alone? Idk if it’s a long dead line or unobtanium but it looks v cool

(Side note if anyone knows a small deck discussion type thread I couldn’t find one of those either)

Smaller deck discussion any good for ya?

Legendary downhill decks

Would like to pick your brains about medium sized boards, usually between 38’’-40’’, on the stiff side and with a single kicktail. Wheelbase preferably around 26’’ (>=65cm). Here is an example: [image] Best one I ever tried is the Lush Machine 3D, but already discontinued and hard to get: [image] Another one that looks really good is the Comet Ethos 40, but also discontinued: [image] This one seems still to be in production and looks awesome, it’s the Powell Peralta Byron Essert Mini Frog…

This could be of interest to you? Same but different.

[WTS][UK/EU] Unikboards deck + enclosure

bump £150 + shipping !

[mr.shiteside]

Ayy thanks, yeah I was eyeing that up. Trying to work out if I have spare cash at the moment

Any timeline on when we’ll get to see an IRL Type R? The renders look nice, but it’d be nice to get a better view.

[Common_good]

Far as I can tell it’s the same kit w a much better battery. Ostensibly that would mean a bigger enclosure or possibly 2 enclosures given the flex of the deck…

[Alea]

The 2 enclosures thing is what I’m interested in. The Type R battery is twice the size of the regular one, so sticking a second one in all that empty space up front would make sense.

[BuildKitBoards]

There are a few prototypes in use currently. We even assembled a production unit for product photography. The reason renders were used is because we recently moved to NY and don’t have a studio set up yet. So we rented a studio and their lighting ended up being really shitty (for what we needed). The photos came out horrible so we had to resort to renders to release on time.

[Alea]

By the way, was the drop in battery capacity for the base model because of supply chain issues or because of less sag in the new cells removing the need for headroom?
