What sort of torque should I be aiming for?

Would you recommend Hoyt St puck?

I honestly can’t tell you a specific number. I plugged in one of my offroad boards into that calc and got similar results but then noticed it didn’t change the torque values when I changed wheel size which is interesting.

Definitely. It is one of, if not the most well reputed remote used.

Thoughts/ feedback? I’ll be taking this slow so I don’t stuff it up. My main question is regarding waterproofing, the enclosure has a rubber gasket, but are waterproof cable glands enough to waterproof the cable entry points? As mentioned in the waterproofing thread, I was also going to use sugru to doubly seal any ingress points. Also when making the xt90 loopkey, do you guys just epoxy the female side into the enclosure? Also where can I get those cool 3d printed loopkey covers/handle? Be as harsh as you like, I’d rather it now than have something fuck up later!

Anyone else have any thoughts on cable glands for waterproofing?

#20

Yep, I use pg glands regularly, ride through nasty nasty, and have seen zero trace of water/dirt/mud in my enclosure.

This one specifically is a PG21 gland and the number denotes interior diameter.
