Hmm my next issue is this board doesn’t charge…
When I connect to the BMS I see this:
I’m thinking this might point to a disconnected balance wire?
I don’t see any issue with the wires going into the BMS:
I’m thinking of pulling off the fish paper from the top of this battery so I can check the wires.
Question maybe someone can assist with:
I loctited my motor pinion gears, let it cure for a day, and then realized I needed to take another 2mm or so off of my motor shafts. So I cut that 2mm off with the pinions still loctited, but I was thinking… the shaft got pretty damn hot from the Dremel friction. Is it possible that I destroyed the integrity of that existing green loctite? Should I torch it and re-apply?
Honestly taking these damn pinions off is such a bitch, but I’m thinking it’s safest to just bite the bullet and re-apply rather than risk a failure. But I also really wanted to ride this board tomorrow for the first time in months. Opinions?
You could re apply and mesh it and wait for it to set it should be fine by tomorrow
Also i use spacers instead of cutting shafts they seem good
We have no idea what this is
loctite is a brand. Green loctite is a class of product they sell. The specific product is retaining compound. You’re one hell of a broken record
Keep in mind that you will need to run motor detection again when adding a new motor to your drivetrain. It’s not just pNp.
It’s fairly common that you’ll need to cut the shafts down a little to fit in the gear drive case and I’d probably replace at least the rear hanger with a 270mm Boardnamics… You might be able to make it work without them, but I’d upgrade both front and rear to 270s… They’re pretty nice.
It’s perfectly reasonable to refer to locktite by color. All green locktite has the same strength. Just different viscosity which is typically not the concern when discussing which kind of locktite to use.
not true. not all green Loctite even has the same intended type of application.
green 290: medium strength + wicking thread locker
green 680: ultra strength retaining compound
At a minimum, Loctite 603, 609, 620, 638, 648, and 680 all fit that description. So again, it’s not useful — and it’s easier to type a number anyway, it’s less characters. It is also more helpful to noobs and beginners.
Let’s talk about things and building stuff. You can PM me for personal insults and hate speech.
“Hate speech” all he said was that you were a broken record, thats not hate speech.
Green is fine tho if you what you mean is “not blue”.
Like if I said does this hole need an M4 or M5 screw and you said “grade 8 or stainless screw? It’s important.”
Like yes, it’s important but one thing at a time.
is it worth putting a new battery into a Boosted V2 or should I replace the cells or just replace all the electronics?
seems there’s 3 extra wires on the battery connection that on the PCB are labeled "CAN-H, CAN-L and PRESB.
the current pack is showing a red light error that has been inferred to mean an unbalanced battery.
If you are going to keep it you can get an amnesia chip to clear the rlod if you can get it balanced:
If you are going to sell it don’t do that since you need to know how to deal with it and maybe there’s a higher risk of it exploding some day and that’s not fair to do to someone unless they understand what they are getting into.
Otherwise send it to The Boosted Guys for RLOD repair:
If they can’t fix it, don’t fuck around with all that proprietary shit get all new battery, bms, esc, enclosure. You can keep the drivetrain but really why bother at that point.
To me it’s not worth it… salvage the deck and make a new build with it.
It’s just obnoxious at this point. It’s not hate speech. It’s an intervention. Green loctite has only ever referred to 638/648 here. When we talk about TB110s, we never specify which specific version. They’re all slippery and bouncy to some extent, the point comes across.
this was my first thought and seems to be the budget solution.
I guess dropping a new pack into it is out of the question due to this proprietary BS. UGH this is worse than messing with evolves.
it’s not even a loaded deck so really, all that’s salvageable is the drivetrain.
It’s faster to type 648 anyway, and it helps all parties more.
Furthermore, this is false:
I used to call Loctite 290 “green Loctite” here.
You’re telling me you couldn’t infer from context? What other green loctite would be used to attach a motor pinion besides retaining compound?
I just wanted some advice
