@Skunk I heard the same. But I honestly wanted to give it a shot and see for myself. Now, I’ll just wait for real innovators to finish their projects so i can start throwing my cash at my screen

Im really glad I decided to forgo the photon now that I read this. I’d like to see the WAND added to the review list also.
My 2nd Vx1 reciever died.
I reflowed it. It works but it still loses power with vibrations.
I contacted Flipsky to see if they will sell me just the RX.
If @Trampa wants to send me one I’ll be happy to review it.
There will be a review of the OSRR int e coming days.

I’m pretty sure he died guys.

Got my VX1 setup via UART. Great having battery displayed right on the remote… I can even see my 25r’s voltage sag in realtime yay! Waiting on a few more parts to build out a new board with my VTC5A pack i’ve built.
And a huge plus: my remote isn’t trying to kill me anymore 
Pretty good build quality on this thing, nothing at all seems cheap or off-putting. No stuck throttle like the nano-X, no wobbly throttle like the nano-X, no cutouts like the nano-X, no scary reverse or full throttle at random like the nano-X, no calibration every damn time I turn on the board like the nano-X, no cheap plastic feeling like the nano-X, charging just works unlike the nano-X, buttons are solid unlike the nano-X, haptic feedback unlike the nano-X, cruise control unlike the nano-X, realtime battery display unlike the nano-X… I can’t believe I ever paid $50 for the nano-X.
UART seems to work great without any calibration setting. I miiiight go PPM at some point just to make sure my throttle max, min, and center are exactly where they should be but for now it’s 
Thanks again for the recommendation man.

All good, happy to help.

So I’ll add this info that’s quite relevant I think. IMHO current radio Tx and Rx technology used by esk8 remotes isn’t safe enough.
We mostly use 2.4GHz remotes with DSSS frequency hopping.
Frequency ranges in most countries for WiFi/WLAN is 2.4GHz covering 83MHz of the range with 13 overlapping channels.
WiFi also uses the DSSS algorithm for frequency hopping.
If I decide to come back to radios instead of my current hardwired project, it’ll be with FHSS frequency hopping, like Futaba FASST or Spektrum DSMR radio systems.

Guys, this is partially (all) my fault. I have dumped all kind of review requests on Mike because he’s fucking MIKE, leaving precious little “him” time for things like adding Jack Sparrow beads to his beard.

You also made him pay for his OSRR like some kind of common coffee boy.
I hear you’re a terrible boss around the water cooler.
And you hate open source.

Have we addressed the many instances of vx1 disconnect reports? Or are we gonna sit on that for now, just curious not judging.

If someone wants to send me one to borrow for a few weeks, I’ve got the tools to debug quite a diverse number of devices.

Aight lemme look for one around here, we’ve had a number of peeps in the bay have disconnects at braking and or low speeds.

You guys have a nuclear island and more cell phones/WiFi devices per sq mile than just about anywhere. I’m surprised you guys haven’t all died of WiFi aids already.

We’ve just got regular aids so far, in seriousness tho. Only the nano and Hoyt have stood the test of time. There are more pucks here than Hoyt headquarters

The Hoyt Puck has been a solid contender for me so long as I don’t chuck it at the street.
The Midnight Puck @ $99 could end up being the best value remote in the game.

It still works after you Chuck it at the street tho👀
