I bought a “blood unity”…:pensive:

…before realising all the dodgery that was going on.

2 miles barely scratch under the cutoff, unless you’re on 12s2p on pneumatics or something.

Btw, want some flipshit 6355 to take apart? I think it was you i gave the last ones.
Functional on the electrical side, but busted bearings and very likely shaft as well. A tenner + shipping, or come to a group ride this weekend in london. There’s like 3 going

Riding around town while carrying a coffee in hand is oddly satisfying.

I am good mate, if I remember correctly the motors you sold me weren’t fantastic.

Fair. You got the full story of what they did, and were free though!

Sorry I was thinking of the wrong motors! Disregard my previous comment…

Ive been running unsensored FOC for half a year because I think my sensor wires disconnected on my motors but im too much of a lazy piece of shit to do anything about it

So when people talk about HFI, I just nod my head like I know what they’re talking about :wink:

Yo same (minus the disconnected wires) apparently I’ve been running unsensored foc for like 2 weeks now and I didn’t notice the difference

According to metr anyway. No idea how it got turned off of sensored foc lmao

I’m pretty sure I’m running one sensored and the other not

The interesting thing is that after i do the detection in the vesc tool (sensored foc) and then look in metr, metr always says unsensored even if the sensors are enabled. I just change it to sensored and press apply.

So my guess is that you still use your sensores but metr just shows unsensored.

That would make a lot more sense because I can do standstill starts and smart reverse up a hill without cogging

you only really need one sensored motor to launch from a stand still without cogging, even on the bullshit fake ass sinewave the vesc based controllers throw out to the motor in FOC.

edit: I guess my confessional in this is that i know vesc based controllers are shit compared to true sinewave controllers and i don’t understand why nobody besides Freefly has ever attempted to enter this space. its like vesc is too gangster or something. its bullshit. or maybe we’re still too small to matter.

I’ve been busy learning how to slide today and what do you know I did toe-side first before heel-side! Bear in mind I’m using sliding gloves and that helps a ton…

It took me around 20 minutes to start doing a push-up slide having never previously done it but like @yelnats8j said you just have to

SEND IT.

I’m even using fresh AF Kegel’s so anyone who says you can’t get rippy on grippies is tripping.

Order of operations:

  • Pre-carve toe-side into slide (starting off slowly, I was sliding at only 10 km/h)
  • Put both pucks on ground shifting majority of body weight onto gloves.
  • Reduced weight distribution on feet allows wheels to lose traction more easily.
  • Boom. Push-up toe-side slide.

This video is literally the best thing out there!

I was thinking about this recently, skating in my teens i was one of the few goofy riders, all the rail slide spots we had were for regular riders… I ended scared of heel side to this day brain just says hell no lol :slight_smile:

Its definitely the easiest way to learn to slide.

Here is a video I had to put together for school, most of my friends only started learning at the beginning of the summer so its cool to see how far everyone has come.
