Flipsky is a bad actor, you probably shouldn't be giving them your money.

Yeah, because a small community can definitely have an impact there, we can solely take down the EV markets exploitation. But we shouldn’t deal with IP theft that’s within reach because it doesn’t benefit you. Got it.

@Evwan

So you’re giving every vendor that uses FS parts a pass because it’s convenient?

Im sure you can see the irony here.
This thread is full of uncomfortable truths with dashes of virtue signaling strewn about.
Those uncomfortable truths will be collectivly shoved deep once this thread is out of sight out of mind. Its what we do, and the cycle will continue

Which rounds back to this:

@DerelictRobot

Our track record simply doesn’t support the desired outcome here.

I feel that nothing will change until/unless the forum itself has a policy around the IP theft issue. From where i sit, IP theft in esk8 should have a zero tolerance in this forum. We have plenty of original developers who deserve our respect and support and a part of that should be protection around that issue.

Edit to include this post:

FS75300 - Flipsky - is anybody tested ??

The original TO-220 75100 was designed by a college kid. Flipsky bought one from him anonymously and reverse engineered it. The original designer posted a bunch of detail on endless-sphere. Performance wise it got hot very quickly. The Aluminum PCB version is totally different. It’s not a simple “aluminum PCB” version of the original. Flipsky’s nomenclature is pretty terrible. I don’t know if it’s an in house design, or if MakerBase designed it, or if they commissioned it or what. It’s an…

The forum is a drop in the ocean compared to the wider community.

Plus, to put policies in place, you’d need forum leaders that actually give at least two fifths of a fuck.

Yes, that chainsaw sound

drop in the ocean

Totally get that. Absolutely.

Every movement starts with a voice.

No issues here

Thanks. This is the answer to a question I’ve been stuck on for a while. I thought mine might just have been faulty. A tv remote in a sock would have better signal.

The second motor on this board to spontaneously cook itself… only the first on me though, i understand Apex kindly sorted the first one out with the builder.

Wheel still freely spins but puff the magic dragon… god of Flipsky smoke… lives in this can now. Irritated beyond measure that Flipsky got me again, so smugly happy that even with the added cost of a new set of radium motors plugged to plug onto it, the deck was still a fucking bargain… but yeah, fuck Flipsky and pretty much everything they doo doo

[TimR]

At least now it won’t sound like a battle between Thomas the tank engine, and Scruffy the tugboat.

I agree, i loved pretty much everything else with the board. The setups is so much fun. The area i feel that dont suit my style of riding (or lack of skill) is in the airs on the front and the Motors being the giant piles of crap they are… enter that space a Newbee front truck and some radium 6485 151kv for that extra bit of top end, not sure ill notice losing any torque at all.

Solid upgrades to an already sick board. I believe @glyphiks had been thinking along similar lines while it was still in his stable, i think im merely continuing the story for the board.
