I’ve ran the sensor wires and connected them all up, just to select “sensorless” in the settings — more than one time.

Living on the edge man! Be careful!
After my crash I now spend more time analyzing the road for cracks than riding in fear of falling

My actual first post after lurking and reading both forums for a while now.
Bought a CGT off of eBay (for pretty cheap actually since it was “used but with only one battery cycle”) about a year or so ago with the intention that I was going to upgrade it with li-ion cells and maybe new motors and whatnot. One year later I decided it time but then a few weeks later with no recollection what happened or where my bank account went, I have parts for a whole new broad which I am not in the process of finishing up lmfao.
I’m excited to share the build. With that another confession: I forgot to document the entire build because I was so excited hahaha.

have to confess , last night was the first time ever I’ve gone out in heavy rain on purpose - testing water resistance, felt so liberating flying thru 5inch puddles

Our weather just turned to shit in the last 24 hours. It was hot up until yesterday, like sweating hot, now I am wearing a coat and hat and shit. 
Soon enough there will be ice all over the ground.

Oh God help it’s happening in Utica too ;_;
I can’t skate when it gets too cold, my body reacts poorly to the cold and I get
as frozen/stiff as a 9 ply maple

i was setting up my first motors bat vesc etc and when the motor test came up on the vesc tool program i didn’t realize the body of the motor spins ( thought it would just be the key way ) so i held onto the motor, pressed play and it ended up jumping out of my hand and fell 2 feet, scratched my fake hardwood floors ( 2 foot ark ) as it fell it disconnected from the battery. I was so startled i jumped back in my chair and didn’t know what to do.
I also felt really cool when I saw torqueboards new trucks and knew they had rip tide’s installed with out being told so.

Ya I was listening to 5 youtube videos and reading 3 articles at the same time, one said I can just hold the motor… Forget that never again waiting for trucks for now on.
What trucks come with riptide bushings pre installed?
