I have completely stuffed up my settings on Vesc app can someone help me get my board back working, Lacroix jaws 2.0
Are you running sensored motors? Check those first, make sure connections are all secure. That one motor does seem to be acting strangely imo
Can u explain auto reverse and how that may help me on hills w braking?
The way i use smart reverse is to feather the throttle in reverse to hold myself at a stop. Smart reverse works by putting the board into reverse at a low duty cycle after holding the brake at a stop for a few seconds.
Default iirc is three seconds and 7% duty cycle. I set mine to 4s and 15%. Then when im stopped I feather the reverse throttle until im stationary or more often do a little back and forth dance waiting for traffic or the light. With the low duty cycle it doesn’t risk shooting backwards but is imho plenty of torque to keep me in position.

My issue is that if I am going down a long or very steep hill on the course… I cant ever fully stop the board if I need to. And, most times on the really steep ones, I end up accelerating even with full brake applied.
If I turn on smart reverse in this same scenario, won’t it “switch” to reverse after 3 seconds of holding full brake (and still rolling fowards down hill)? Can’t imagine that would end well?
Hey mate, we discussed this topic at length recently in another thread

Thanks @glyphiks
Sounds like I should try Full Current with Reverse and limit the ERPM reverse to -10000?
At 47 years old, I have my 20 and 19 year old do all the board testing first.

I haven’t personally tried it, i just run current mode full beans, but the erpm limit seems like a great option

Yes, but you can adjust your ramp time settings so that reverse kicks in sooner. Or do the ERPM change @glyphiks mentioned 
I do similar. Have it sent to full current bidirectional and use Profiles to set a reverse speed limit (mine is at 4mph currently).

How would I get started in racing? Anyone have tips for technique, gear setup, etc? I don’t really know where to start with this.

What VESC exist and how do I pick the best one for me?
Master @frame.b022 made a list a while back:
Your choice is really up to your needs, ride style, and battery voltage. Oh yeah, budget too haha.
Do you already have a battery? If so, make sure your esc is rated to operate safely at that voltage.
Do you need to pull lots of amps to get going because you’re super fat or ride lots of hills? If so, make sure the esc you’re choosing can handle the amps.

I’ve been too busy with work lately and then I come back and see that all the regular threads are gone. What happened?? my profile still has the regular badge on it so I’m very confused 
Shows you as member as opposed to a regular 
it is right here tho? 
I’ve been reading the new threads every other day or daily but just haven’t had anything to reply to on most of them
am I going to have to bribe @longhairedboy to fix it? I think the system makes you wait to get it back if it is gone
A badge just means you got it once, like an achievement. When you click on my profile, notice it says regular? Your’s says member.

It still says regular for me on the little profile window too
Same spot it shows up on yours too.
I might just have broken the site a bit. I tend to accidentally do that more and more as I continue to refuse to upgrade my windows
