I am the same, could be something simple lile not recieving / giving enough likes in the past few weeks / months on posts. I haven’t been very actively posting recently so I imagine in my case, it’s that!
Or i think if you get a certain number of flags you can be demoted too.

Based on this link you can automatically lose the “Regular” status if certain conditions aren’t met.
Trust Level 3 – Regular
To get to trust level 3, in the last 100 days…
- Must have visited at least 50% of days
- Must have replied to at least 10 different non-PM topics
- Of topics created in the last 100 days, must have viewed 25% (capped at 500)
- Of posts created in the last 100 days, must have read 25% (capped at 20k)
- Must have received 20 likes, and given 30 likes.*
- Must not have received more than 5 spam or offensive flags (with unique posts and unique users for each, confirmed by a moderator)
- Must not have been suspended or silenced in the last 6 months
* These likes must be across a minimum number of different users (1/5 the number), across a minimum number of different days (1/4 the number). Likes cannot be from PMs.
All of the above criteria must be true to achieve trust level 3. Furthermore, unlike other trust levels, you can lose trust level 3 status. If you dip below these requirements in the last 100 days, you will be demoted back to Member. However, in order to avoid constant promotion/demotion situations, there is a 2-week grace period immediately after gaining Trust Level 3 during which you will not be demoted.

If its a torque boards motor, its dead. Had the same problem that using the proper length (8mm) M4 bolts would cause the motor to lock up even after moving wires and sealing with epoxy. Depending on how much sanity you have in stock, you can try getting a replacement from TB.

Thanks, wasn’t sure if there were any important stability improvements since then that would make it more reliable. It didn’t sound like there was much aside from defaulting duty cycle limit start in 5.2, so I’ll leave it alone.
Ah okay, that might explain things. I thought I get to keep the trust level. 
Nope, flipsky. I bought it almost a year ago and did not use it before. 
Thanks for your reaction
Same problem I imagine unfortunately, windings pressed up against mounting plate. Flipsky is really hit or miss for replacements but it doesnt hurt to try.

Should i just hit them up or try it out with my vesc first?
Hit them up, put a piece of tape on that motor to differentiate and never hook it up to a VESC. If the windings are shorted you will kill the powerstage of your VESC immediately upon motor detection.

Thx! Unfortunately its also the only motor i do own 
Oof, see what Flipsky says and update your profile to include your location so local members might be able to help out if flipsky can’t.

Do a hand test on the motor

I’m trying to forward mount motors with a short EBS motor mount for looks/stealth, and to keep the length of the board down. In the current config I get motor bite so that’s not going to work, but I’m anxious about angling the mounts parallel/close to parallel with the ground. At the moment I have about 40mm of clearance so realistically it isn’t actually that bad. Am I basically left with either lowering the clearance or adding a riser?
40mm is fine for a street board, could take about 10mm off and be okay IMHO.
For offroad, ignore all of this.

Cheers, because the mount doesn’t have 360° range and the next step up is wayy too low I ended up changing base plate from 44 to 50. I now have 30mm clearance and far from biting. Might actually nudge it back up a bit to get 35mm if I find it too close, but looks like the new baseplate worked a treat

Yeah Thanks! I did this phase wire test after buying (tried it also out today again). It feels okey for me, only thing is when I’m spinning my motor without connecting phase wires to each other it doesn’t feel as smooth as when I’m spinning my wheel for example. I feels a little bit choppy (but less choppy then when I’m connecting 2 phase wires). I only feel this when I’m spinning slowly. Unfortunately I can’t do the test with a drill, because I cant get off the motor mount and that causes that my motor axle is too small to put on the drill.
Yesterday I sent a message to Banggood as @itsrow suggested, but they won’t help me out because of exceeded waranty time.
Weird enough I had the feeling yesterday the resistance was higher when I tightened my bolts. Because today I don’t feel that much resistance ( There is always a bit resistance i guess?)
Do you think i could try it out on my esc or is it a bad idea?
motor bolts? how long is it? maybe it is touching the winding inside

Wouldn’t it be ironic to lose access to the lounge because you were only active in the lounge
