ROFL, that’s good stuff 
I’m pretending to troubleshoot the issue. I should have a meaningless and implausible explanation that lays the blame squarely on your shoulders in a few hours.

I have to assume it was a service outage on the third party letter avatar service discourse is proxying. Seems to be working this morning.
I blame @torqueboards for the outage. He was probably hoarding all of the avatars for resale later.

I’d like to add that when you use the Mini Remote, the power switch on the transmitter is the weakest link in the system so BE EASY when you turn it on and off for a long lifetime. Don’t caveman the switch on and off because it will break.
Follow this advice, and the Mini Remote will offer you years of rock-solid performance.

Some extra advice is just buy 10 mini remotes from aliexpress and carry all 10 with you every time you go to the toilet or make love. Cheap, works every time and if you smash it you just pull another one out.

Nah, that’s not necessary. You will need to get some mace though as a mandatory Mini Remote accessory, because you will need something to keep all the girls at bay once you become the esk8 hunk in all their fantasies.

This is a 2.4GHz frequency-hopping spread spectrum system, and the “binding” process allows the transmitter to tell the receiver exactly which schedule of frequencies it will be hopping around on.

Incredibly helpful video. My included instructions don’t say to turn off and on the remote

Having one receiver per ESC is one of my methods for reliability. Even if you lose signal or something totally breaks, you have another drivetrain still running fine…

so you don’t need a canbus or a y splitter? Could you in theory have one remote for 3 different boards? do you know what the limit is?
