Chubby - the best thumb mod of the mini remote, 02.07.20 - files and instruction added

Wow, that’s very interesting… I had to ditch the chubby due to my 45x being wack, at least I thought :man_shrugging:

So I’m struggling with my chubby (ha) atm. Fitted everything into the housing. Looks great, but when I go to close, there seems to be a short somewhere. Even if it’s switched off, the red light comes on when closing the 2 pieces together. Couldn’t see any evidence of why. Anyone else had that happen?

I like all of them. I prefer the trigger more but sometimes it’s easy to accidentally touch it and your board goes off or you go off

Is this still a option. I don’t really need 5-10 quantities of each items through eBay

No
But I’ll have two completes in short time.

How much is a complete and when would it be available?

Couple of weeks.
25-30$ w/o and with receiver

Why doesn’t this mod have a 5v to 3.3v buck converter like the other mini remote mods?

Because it uses a diode in series to drop the voltage by 0.7v
But feel free to use converter instead

So, made three units today, and couple of them had this problem, here’s what I’ve found:

When you’re closing this happens:

My solution was the following, just run it to the side a little bit:

It will probably also help to clip the pins a little.

Yup, it’s me, bumping a two year old thread like a fucking noob! But since I have the attention of you fellow fans of this awesome little remote…

Is anyone sitting on a extra 1-3 of these bad boys they are willing to part with? Will pay cash (PayPal) or trade goods if you prefer other people’s carelessly hoarded ESK8 parts to the sensible option.

@mods please tell me to move this to a WTB thread if I have broken the rules.

I just found one of these the other day that I never got around to assembling :pensive:

I even printed a case for it in cool blue-to-white heat changing filament.

Just pay shipping and it’s yours.
