Try holding the brake for like a second or two.
Nothing happensŘ
Something is weird then. Try change the mode to Full current and test if throttle backward does anything. Make sure you click write app whenever you change something.

I think I had my first ever remote signal disconnect today with a VX2. Maybe not, but I was with two other boards through a tightly knitted pavement against another building in town so I guess itâs possible, assuming the phenomenon is actually a real thing.
What timeout value for lost signal do fellas run? Defaults 1000ms, I set it to 500ms following the stack, but how low is too low in anyoneâs experience? Itâs the first time ever for me, so Iâm not going to panick order a while bunch of pucks over it; before making the suggestion.
I wasnât going fast, but the board dropped me off the back, spat the front DKP from the cup after accelerating into a building, spinning the hanger like the girls head in âThe exorcistâ, and then continued to behave perfectly normal for the rest of today after putting the truck back together.

Anyone tried these Omega HP belts?
Trying to determine if the cost is worth it and if theyâre stronger, stretch less.
Personally Iâve never had one but itâs what Radium use for their Mach One. They also have them on their website but the belt length is for the Mach One.

Anything thatâs gonna fuck me up i can recover from usually if itâs in the 1/10 to 1/5th second range. I set mine to 150ms but i donât have a lot of experience with these things - vibes only

Yeah, Iâm in two minds. Because, if a disconnect happened at a constant speed and came back on line before the 1000ms was up, I wouldnât even know it happened. I feel like most strange faults seem to make themselves known under acceleration though, or perhaps thatâs not coincidental.
1000ms was enough time that the board could do some damage to ankles, windows, or itself if it got away. Perhaps Iâll try 80ms then, same as I use for fault recovery.
Iâve only just finished dealing with the car I left two knee sized dents in, after going over itâs bonnet in December. Turns out the owner of the car was the deputy principal for a boys high school that caters for the wealthy and privelegged, so this was an interesting experience.
Howâs your workshop going? Any new progress?

My workshop is Constantly in chaos, working on a vacuum process for skinning decks and my shoulder injury is slowing things down. Trying to find a place to put everything away and i think im just gonna break down and get one of those harbor freight tool chests with all the drawers⌠im just cheap and donât wanna spend the money. Probably gonna part out a board and slim my collection down to just the key players.
I want a halfway point between drop through and top mount on my sportster build so maybe custom base plates is my next adventure. Iâve got an idea for an adjustable base plate that will fit the cast Valkyrie trucks i picked up. Should be interesting as i think im gonna use them for the small build challenge.

I assume the cables screened. If so, Iâd connect them to my heat sink / esc casing. Is this what others would do? I donât know.
I remember seeing that a few years ago already⌠Donât remember seeing a single one of those in the wild though. I would guess itâs april fools, but since itâs not the first time Iâm seeing it, idk

Supposedly theyâre for static charge or something while riding. @Tony_Stark had a post about it somewhwere. Most of us just cover it with Tesa/electrical tape and tuck it away.
@Dinnye How do you like the slm steel gears? I wanted to make some gears with peek because they are quiet but the price of peek is crazy(400 per gear) .. So i am thinking about slm steel. How is the surface of the gears? Are they extremely loud?
Can I jump into this conversation to ask if lasercut Hardox 500 is ok to make gears from, and if you would be interest in some.
Edit: basically the same thing as AR500
I donât know much about this, is it similar to slm steel?
I had a feeling it had something to do with static charge. Got it tucked away currentlyâŚ
Itâs real, red beard rode it at the damn. Just a marketing stunt though more or less I would imagine.

They should have removed the hub motors from their Jet board, if they wanted true believers.
