[Global] [Closed] Flipsky VX2 & VX1 Remote Group Buy Post-Order Discussion

Do you have a spare one of the VX2 for my Vesc6? That would be great!

The spares got stocked into my store, they’re still cheaper than any other source for the pro.

I have some on the way from 4PX and its departed from China.

I am actually also waiting because Flipsky has been kind enough to set aside some units from their next production to send without any rubber coating. The rubber coating causes pretty much all the issues with coloring the remotes, as you can see in this image


Wherever there is rubber coating, as soon as it comes into contact with acetone it will crack up about 50% of the time, usually after too many layers to fix. It also causes fitment issues when I apply clearcoat there can be tolerance issues due to the thickness of the rubber coating + paints.

I will be receiving raw ABS shells with my new remotes, which means they’ll likely all be colored. I’ll be able to just do regular plain base colors without any issues (previously the cracking ruined them most of the time, as well as the fact if I sanded even a tiny bit unevenly it would show up badly) I can also probably plastidip them again with some reliability for the same rubber coating feeling, but without any cracking or adhesion issues.

Until those are here though, I’ll have a few more regular units to sell. As for a group buy, I am thinking of doing a Cloudwheels one? ~$80 shipped worldwide. I’ll post an interest thread in a few products soon.

I wish i would’ve joined the GB. What i don’t like about the vx2 is the really bad looking housing assembly. Its just looks so crooked and flimsy where the screen is.

Yea, the mould is actually crooked, its kinda shitty. Maybe they’ll fix it

maybe some 12s8a chargers from YEWY? They are like £30 and top quality.

8 Amps feels a little overkill xD Also I don’t think they offer a large bulk discount, the prices are already pretty damn low. Cloudwheels are expensive when buying 1 set, but shipping from the UK globally is still under $15 and if they’re under 80/set I know i’d grab a set.

I’ll make a poll, why not.

Any chance of getting a 12s 5+A charger?

I’m down for some cloud wheels.

Why not order your chargers individual on aliexpress etc. Those are damn cheap

Okay go vote on the poll or make a suggestion

Cant find a 8a charger… Also 1 month shipping :confused:

For cloudwheels what pulley options are there…

Use a dual charging system, its more versatile anyway as surely you don’t need to charge at 8A every time

i-wonder has a 39T HTD5M Plastic pulley with a bearing for $5, pretty sweet option to add on in the group buy if we do that one. 39T is about right for the wheel size too.
