I reckon that split angles probably deserve a mention in this glossary too… not from this forum but still a good thread

agree, my hope was to keep the references contained to esk8.news where practical.
@Squishy654 do you mind if we copy your builders post on split truck angles to a new post under esk8 mechanics on this forum?

Added a picture to help distinguish between boardside and roadside bushings 
More motor terms would be nice, like Keyway, Windings, Can/Bell, Grub screws, etc.
redundancy/redurndercy:
esk8/RC receivers output PWM.

@rusins bushing image was good add.
Keyway is already listed
agree on Windings, Can/Bell, Grub Screws etc. added them to the list will update definitions as time allows.
@professor_shartsis good point. there appears to be a debate on definition and application in a separate thread
What is the agreed upon definition for redundancy as it relates to esk8?
@b264 thanks for the clarification. corrected the glossary

While I fully agree with correct terminology its commonly referred to as ppm. Across the board(excuse the pun) Maybe bracket the ppm after pwm so to aid understanding.
Again good write up.
