Thanks so much! Please do let me know if you get it working, would be great to be able to pick up in SF.

I got your case printed. Do you need a charge only lipo charger? Or a drone?

Thanks again, @midlifecrisis! I was pleasantly surprised how small this remote is and cannot wait to use it once my Mini Remote and VESC arrive.

Great design dude, already used the remote for 100km! Fits so good!

For those who wants to have the remote’s throttle/brake to be like a normal thumb remote, swap the red and black wire on the pot. Works for me.

If anyone has an extra remote or the 3D printed parts I’ll happily take them off your hands

Does it really work just with the 1S lipo? No regulator/diode?

I know anecdotal evidence does not prove anything, but I have been using a Mini Remote on straight 1S lithium-ion (4.2V max) for years now with no issues. The 18500 cell lasts so ridiculously long though, that even with daily use over 2.5 years I think I’ve only charged it maybe 3 or 4 times? So most of the time it is not running at the full 4.2V

This is with no regulator or diode.

I used a vape lipo for this and it’s A-Ok.

@Battery_Mooch although it’s a lipo and not a cyclical cell, you might be amused to see direct harvest of vape guts into Esk8 gear.

Disposable vape lipo -> remote battery.

That’s a neat size, how many mah is that lipo?

They are 350mah.

Does anyone have a set of the needed components that I can buy? Don’t really wanna wait the 1.5 month delivery time from China.

I have a MicroUSB charge port and a charge indicator but not the exact same charge indicator

It’s more of a square than long and skinny

Would anyone be interested in buying resin printed remote shells from me? I can completely finish the shell ready for you to install the parts into it.
I am from Belgium so if there is some request from the usa maybe a group buy can be done to save shipping.
Let me know :ok_hand:t2:

Hey everyone,
I also did this mini remote mod for my latest project.

Unfortunately the receiver loses connection when the remote is pushed all the way up or down (it’s about the last 3mm up or down).
Was anyone facing this problem yet?
I absolutely don’t know if it’s the receiver/transmitter or motor controller.

Kind regards
Fisatec

How likely would it be for you to print the puck puck Bruce mod and at what cost?
