Magnets, how do they work.
No, calibrate from the remote in the settings menu.

Never thought twice about itā¦ Figured it was a pot, but the throttle does get sticky after a few fallsā¦ I rode with mine that way for a while, gave me that āyou gonna die!ā thrill when Iād forget to slowly release the throttle and just flick itā¦ Finally replaced last month.

Give me a second to put it back on the bench, had another project take priority but itās done now so i can refocus:-).
Edit: i may have underestimated my ability to completely destroy a space and may have finally achieved superfund status, a personal best. Glad my wife made me dispose of the 5lbs of mercury I used to keep aroundā¦ for reasons. Fuckin hell i think Iām a horder, my spirit animal is probably smaug

What did you replace it with?
Another uni1ā¦ Theyāre pretty cheap, control my lights and brakelight, and never had any signal drop issuesā¦ I have gone through several voyagers that Iāve bought and others have given me. 3 people I personally know have reported throttle issues with those going full throttle out of the blueā¦ I actually havenāt had that problem, but I wish they had a Deadman switch. The joystick is too sensitive for me.

Undervoltage fault after cruising at my geared topspeed of 35mph for a minute or twoā¦ Itās happened to me three times now. Luckily I havenāt come off my deck, but the board stays on and Iām able to hit the throttle and continue riding. . When I check my faults it always reads Undervoltage fault Motor 1 though. Does that actually mean that itās related to motor 1 on ESC A? When I connect to ESC B thereās no fault. Iām running ubox v2 100v at 16s7p p42a with 60A/side battery and 65A/motor on 138kv 65100 bioboard motorsā¦ So Iām not pushing limits anywhere I think. I know undervoltage faults usually point to the battery connection to the ESC, but could it be actually related to the 4mm motor connectors Iām using or a bad phase wire bullet joint?
Usually thatās related to the battery voltage. What are your settings on this page?
Motor ā General ā Advanced

Yeah thatās fine. Do you have the exact fault message with the data?
I might but Iād have to dig to find it.
It also happens occasionally on the bench, but itās different because it happens almost immediately after going 95% duty. Hereās one of those.
Click āreadā and ensure youāre actually reading the ESC settings and not looking at default numbers. It says itās communicating in Limited Mode which might mean a version mismatch. Does it give an error on read? If you write a number, does that number you wrote come up next time you connect?

Thatās a screenshot for maybe a month ago. Iām at the point where Iām removing pulleys and Iām either going to resolder all my bullets or my XT90 connectors, so everythingās taken apart right now.
That fault message and those settings seem fundamentally incompatible, methinks something in software wasnāt sound

Iām thinking long runs at top speed is stressing a weak solder joint somewhere, prob on the XT90

I donāt know why I said xt90ā¦ I actually used AS150sā¦ I realize it was overkill nowā¦ Replacing those with an xt90s would be far easier than replacing all my bullets because of the way I have things sealed up. I wish I had a better example of the fault code, but Iāll give the battery connector a go firstā¦ Then Iām ordering some 14t/78t pulleys so I can at least crash test dummy this thing under 30mphā¦
I got my metal from metal supermarkets. Thanks again.
Now I need plywood for the floor. Iāll be drilling into it quite a bit like to mount my chair on top. Iāll need a size of 2ā x 4ā roughly but need to cut that to only 20in wide. Iām considering either
AraucoPly 3/8 inch Sanded Pine Plywood 11/32 inchX4āX8ā
or 5/8 inch 4 ftx8 ft Standard Spruce Plywood Tongue & Groove
from home Depot. Those are the only pressure treated plywoods. Though I wonāt need 3/4 of that sizeā¦ The common stuff seems to be seathing plywood but thatās not suitable for exterior use?
Also since the seat is in the back I canāt just put the axle in the middle because then itās unbalanced. How do I figure out where to put it? Do I first put everything else together before drilling and screwing the middle axle part to the rest of the frame, put my seat on, then have someone sit in it and then adjust the axle so thereās just a slight forward fall to the trailer? Wonāt the center of gravity also be dependent on the weight of the passenger?

Thatās what I would probably do.
It will to a certain extent, but it shouldnāt affect things too much.
You could always add some extra holes or some other mechanism so you can adjust the seat position a bit forward and backward to compensate for it.

Do you have any recommendations for wood? Do I need to look for pressure treated wood so itās good for exterior use?
I did some digging and it looks like I can also look in the other plywood sections on home depots website. Like ACX plywood is appropriate for exterior use?
Also regardless of what I pick I should coat it in a weather resistant coating?
If youāre expecting it to be regularly exposed to wet weather, it wouldnāt be a bad idea to paint or varnish it for extra water resistance. The main thing about āexterior gradeā plywood that makes it exterior grade is the glue, which wonāt weaken or dissolve when it gets wet. It wonāt prevent the wood from soaking up water and potentially rotting if itās wet enough for long enough.
Paint/coatings can help, as can proper drainage. You should make a point to put a couple drain holes at the lowest point of the trailer when itās at rest, so there will be no pooling.
