Dudeā¦ in all honestyā¦ this way of questioning is way offā¦ nobody has anything to prove to you. All the evidence your kinda being shitty about is easily available if you search it.
Obviously i could not find anything to support Hoytās claim being the ābestā remote - this is why i came here to ask. can you show me or help me find evidence about the claim?
facepalm

a gesture in which the palm of oneās hand is brought to oneās face as an expression dismay, exasperation, embarrassment, etc.
You want evidence of a reputation? Its not a claim. They didnt create the reputation, just the device. The reputation is evidenced by the sheer volume of units in this community and the distinct lack of complaints of signal faults or device lead faceplanting like the VX series.

is been the most consistently recommended remote since iāve started in 2019, and have never heard of any complaints of cutouts due to signal interference.
not only that, iāve used an ok amount of remotes, the old enertion nano x (trash), the trampa wand, maytech V2? the waterproof remote, the pucc, and the vaporware osrr, and the latter 2 are the only 2 that can survive SF market street and twin peaks, which have oodles of signal interference: and even then, the pucc edges out because itās mostly unaffected by the ever so lovely jamming vx4

this type of data would require someone to have been logging/comparing remote data throughout years of ridingā¦ this is a niche hobby, you gotta lower your expectations bro lol

@esk8lova obviously you are right that all evidence thus far is anecdotal, which usually I pitch a fit about.
In my case I actually threw away all my remotes after one of them lost its mind at low battery and went full throttle unexpectedly; and replaced them with Hoyts.
So my experience with the Hoyt puck is that its battery last far longer than any of my boards (and I have a 40 mile board) and that I have never had a disconnect nor any abhorrent behavior since I switched to Hoyt pucks.
But there again, purely anecdotal.

I do recall something about the puck needing to be battle hardened - that if you drop it or smash it during a crash the potentiometer solder connections can break and it will go into full throttle or full brake. Kind of adding insult to injury if youāre on the ground trying to see if your fingers work and the board rockets off 
Iāve not seen it, but I do my best not to crash very often. There is a fix, but this should probably be mentioned. Iām not sure if the current devices for sale on the website have been fixed for this - I suspect they have.
This is why I continuously chide them about going to Hall sensors.

This is 100% a known problem with the puck, also one that Hoyt have been open about and addressed publicly.
Iāve experienced this very issue many times over the years and still trust the puck over any other remote (with exception to the fabled osrr).
Every remote has flaws, but in my experience the puck has been the most reliable, predictable and trustworthy remote around.
I wonāt even ride a board with a flipsky remote these days.

Can vouch the puck is best remote Iāve ever tested. Even when the remote loses signal standing over 1 meter from my board because the reciever is in a CF enclosure it virtually still never drops out. The frequency hopping is amazing.
Iāve tested plenty of other āreliableā remotes and the lack of frequency hopping usually results in me having to kick push through high interference zones until the signal comes back. And those are the zones Iām familiar with from almost stacking the first few times passing through them with the previous remotes Iāve had like Flysky GT2B, Maytech V2, Flipsky vx1

The interesting thing is way back in the day I built a remote using off the shelf XBee (Zigbee) modules and it was absolutely bulletproof - the second most reliable remote I ever had. XBees are designed expressly for working reliably in RF noisy environements - factory floors and such.
The reason I say āsecond mostā is that it was a module with pins, and I plugged it into a header and did not positlvely lock it into place (glue, etc.) and after a lot of riding it wiggled its way loose and my software wasnāt smart enough to realize a missing serial stream was a problem so off the board went. Fortunately just into the bushes.
But thatās all on me - XBee is basically a perfect protocol for this use case.

How long ago was that though? Iāve noticed RF interference getting increasingly worse over time. XBee modules were also quite expensive from memory and some wifi chips do have high latency and slow frequency hopping from my experience.
Which is what the OSRR uses - didnāt know you were at that Doug
