Lol will do!
Silicone sealant is ideal for waterproofing - that’s it’s core function. The only concern I might have is it’s not for structural use in any way. So if those holes + patches aren’t protected from rocks/debris/accidental poke, your silicone might get ripped out by accident
Thanks mate. Update, it’s been a few days and the silicone is still so soft that I just don’t trust it. I reckon I’m going to cut it out and replace with resin. Or maybe even this super strong silicone that a plumber mate of mine recommended
Although more than happy for recommendations from anyone with better ideas!
Actually, latest advice was fibreglass, thoughts or experience?
Just fill with epoxy resin

Fiberglass is cloth + epoxy resin. You could, but epoxy by itself is probably enough. Just make sure you get some with a longer cure time than the cheapo 5 minute stuff.

We got you covered dude. Run your motor detection, followed by your input detection, change whatever values you don’t like to match your motor, speed, battery, throttle curve, duty cycle current limit start, etc, and ask about any other settings you’re confused about.
If you’re unsure, be patient and wait for an answer. Don’t want you street facing a new build over something silly.
What firmware are you going to try out? 5.3 is in beta still. 5.2 is the most stable current version.

Thanks mate, I have no idea, haven’t really thought that far ahead yet. Based on what you’ve said, probably 5.2
Learning your way around the terrible UI of VESC Tool is a right of passage. Like Justin said, try not to be in a hurry, this is not the step to rush through. Bench test it thoroughly and then take some careful low speed rides before really hammering the throttle. You don’t want to discover a problem at 30mph.
You have a very cool board in the works and I am excited for you to get to ride it soon!

Xenith easy UI vs Vesc Tool? I’m pretty sure my xenith is V1
Vesc tool’s UI is not that bad, especially with the wizard that makes it much easier
BLDC tool was much worse IMO
