loctite is a brand. Green loctite is a class of product they sell. The specific product is retaining compound. Youāre 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. Itās not just pNp.

Itās fairly common that youāll need to cut the shafts down a little to fit in the gear drive case and Iād probably replace at least the rear hanger with a 270mm Boardnamicsā¦ You might be able to make it work without them, but Iād upgrade both front and rear to 270sā¦ Theyāre pretty nice.
Itās 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, itās not useful ā and itās easier to type a number anyway, itās less characters. It is also more helpful to noobs and beginners.
Letās talk about things and building stuff. You can PM me for personal insults and hate speech.
āHate speechā all he said was that you were a broken record, thats not hate speech.

Green is fine tho if you what you mean is ānot blueā.
Like if I said does this hole need an M4 or M5 screw and you said āgrade 8 or stainless screw? Itās important.ā
Like yes, itās 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 thereās 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 donāt do that since you need to know how to deal with it and maybe thereās a higher risk of it exploding some day and thatās 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 canāt fix it, donāt 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 itās not worth itā¦ salvage the deck and make a new build with it.

Itās just obnoxious at this point. Itās not hate speech. Itās an intervention. Green loctite has only ever referred to 638/648 here. When we talk about TB110s, we never specify which specific version. Theyāre 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.
itās not even a loaded deck so really, all thatās salvageable is the drivetrain.
Itās faster to type 648 anyway, and it helps all parties more.
Furthermore, this is false:
I used to call Loctite 290 āgreen Loctiteā here.

Youāre telling me you couldnāt infer from context? What other green loctite would be used to attach a motor pinion besides retaining compound?
I just wanted some advice

This is why I come here, if I can help you, I will. Just ignore the trolls.

But rather than helping with anything, you chose to die on this weird hill of loctite referenceā¦
Like I get it man, the colors donāt perfectly describe the compounds, but you definitely knew what I was referencing in the post where I asked for help. You chose to argue semantics instead of helping.

This is a false statement.
Iām not sure why you have the audacity to say what I think.

Dude, youāre taking this so personally. Iām sorry if youāre having a bad day, but when has anyone around here ever loctited a pinion with anything but 638/648?
If thatās the case, it seems like youāre the only one here that didnāt understand what I was referring to, and that seems to be a conscious choice on your part because I said āgreenā
