New DIY onewheel kit

What’re the boxes? I though you just used Pint guards

Danilo Lattaro designed a set of compatible parts from scratch. Front and back boxes, bumoers, fender.

what’s concerning to me about the floatwheel kit is they have the tesla pack running 20a discharge with 30a burst. These are too high. You shouldn’t go above 12A constant discharge and you shouldn’t go over 15 amps period.

Forgive me if I’m wrong but didn’t floatwheel get taken down by Future motion? Is the company still going? I would consider buying one now I’ve got an addiction to DIY after completing my first one!

There are pretty much two options for DIY onewheels, here are their discords. They both have their strengths and weaknesses, you can decide which one you like better. Floatwheel has some CS issues, whereas Funwheel is better with that stuff.

Here is the Floatwheel links:

Customer service. They basically have really slow and/or non-existent communication.

Even if you have wechat they ignore you at times. I got a float but would not recommend to buy just cause the lack of support and all screwups they have done before we got it

On the other hand their is also a strong community improving and modding the thing so if you like a diy project it’s still worth it

Both yes and no imo. If you get something broken there is a chance you wont get a replacement (feels like 50/50 chance), you wont get the tire the site says

There is a community but considering tony don’t give 2 cents who know how long it will last? If the active members find something ells its a dead product :stuck_out_tongue:
idk I couldn’t recommend it and still have a clean conscience :slight_smile:

You can make it using velostat conductive plastic sandwiched between copper

Does the order of the motor phase wires matter? It seems they are different among the various pictures and vids out there. I know swapping two wires changes motor direction.

Does the VESC orientation matter? I saw it reversed on a build video. Thanks.

If it’s upside down then it generates lift producing levitation capability.
