My Esk8s. A journal of sorts

Honestly 23.46 has been the most solid firmware for me by far

Are you running it now on any boards?
I have not had any beef with vesc… So I had converted all my Unities over…

I do like to see the wh/mile…

And on a couple boards I’m running smart reverse.

Only 1. The other unity is on 5.1 still (gets sensors but no temps). Stormcore 60d is on 5.2 and now gets intermittent temp and hall sensor readings. 5.0 and 5.1 got the sensors fine and I made no changes or had any crashes that should have caused sensors to go dumb.

Well Justin.
I owe you even more.

Thanks for sending me in this direction.

Without having to open anything up the Omakase seems totally fine.

Took it out on a 16 miler to chase the freshies and it did great.

And the freshies were totally glorious on the 80mm kegels.

Just glorious…

New kid on the Block.

The Claus.

This is going to be a deck swap plus of the set up I have on the Coyote.

The Coyote was quite a novelty being so little and cute.

But the Dinghy took over the little and cute spot…

So the Coyote seemed to just be unecesarily thin. So it will go back to analog…

The Claus is super close in size to the Ditch Life. But has a smidge longer wheelbase.
And the electronics will have a bit more punch than the Ditch life(I think)

Omakase really for comparison…

The Claus is totally flat…

The ghost in the shell…

I had to go pick up my wife’s car from the shop.

So I grab the flux from the wall.

On the driveway the remote works. But then stutters…

So I grabbed the Demonseed and went in it.

Came back and ran detection on the Flux.
And failed detection…
What in the actual fuck…
It was fine the other day nothing has been done to it.
Tried running detection a few times and sometimes it said -11 for the reason and sometimes not.

The Flux has a Unity on 5.01 firmware…

So I decided to do the same I did with the Omakase.

Broke out the enertion app.
Installed the software.
Ran the set up…

And everything seems fine.

So what the actual fuck vesc tool…
What is the ghost in the shell?

Is it possible to change the gearing on the enertion app to get an accurate reading of wh/mile?

It’s weirdly hard to find in Europe, I guess less pickup to protect but still
If anyone has a link

Wow, I just read through basically all of your journal of sorts as you like to call it, and I find it inspiring how many boards and mods you’ve done!
I’m starting my first DIY and I absolutely love your Demonseed 42" build. If I go with that board do you think the tail shape has changed much since you bought it? I’m concerned for my build that if I went with that board that my motors would be mounted too low. I could also bottom mount my extended Caliber II trucks with a backing frame as I would like a little more clearance for the battery.
I’d love to hear your thoughts on the matter and if alternatively, I should go with DKP.
Keep up the awesome work!

Thanks dude.
Hope you enjoyed the ride.

Dual king pin trucks are a whole thing on their own.
I would say rkp is what belongs on the Demonseed.

What an amazing deck right!!!

You can top mount to get more clearance. I liked the ride feel with it like that pretty well.

Alternatively you could use boardnamics adjustable base plates for added
Height and still drop through.
I think they add 16mm of height.

Tail is the same unless you got the bamboo version. You saw I sanded my tails down right.
That added a smidge of motor clearance.
But not as much as top mounting would.

Welp…
Regarding the ghost in the shell in the Flux.

Did a 28 miler today on the 23.46 unity firmware and it did totally fine…

So there is that.

Got some work done on the Llama today.

Thanks @JoeyZ5 for hanging out!

Put the M1 gear drives together with the TB 6380 170kvs.

And using the spiral gears instead of the straight cut.

And cut a hole in the enclosure for the heat sink.
Need to figure out how to glue it on…

So pretty close to being able to slap it all back together.

Why not use epoxy ? Or too permanent ?
