Where is a good place to buy a hobby wing esc for belt setup?

#5943

ownboard / wowgo / backfire…etc basically those chinese brand that sells belt drive esk8.

fyi, if u want standby mode, try to email wowgo and ask them if u can buy the AT2 esc instead, that one has standby mode by default, just like exway (exway doesn’t sell esc alone, don’t bother trying)

How do I know what other tubes/tires will fit on my Torqueboards AT hubs?

Am i better off just buying new hubs if I want other/bigger tires?

There are “8x2” hubs

  • MBS
  • Trampa
  • summate
  • 3DS
  • TorqueBoards
  • Metroboard
  • Evolve

And then there are “6x2” hubs

  • Bergmeister
  • Psychotiller

Tires are usually compatible within those groups but never outside

Is it possible to change controller on this type of esc?

#5949

possible, but only if they were made for lingyi esc.

iirc, there are 3 versions of remotes that currently works with lingyi esc

Pretty much, no. It’s not.

I can personally verify there are 2 viable remotes, one is the small 3 speed shown in the picture and other other is the bigger 4 speed that looks like a vx1 with the finger hole

@BillGordon can help with this. He helped me too.

I think @dickyho would be able to help with remote as well

Is there any pneumatic hub/rim that fits the normal skateboard axle length? (2 bearings + 10mm spacers + 2 speed rings)
Specifically, the BN270 hangers with the only option of stepped axle

I am having 2 issues with my Flipsky VX1

  1. I always have to do the pairing again after powering off both the board and remote for a few minutes.
  2. My acceleration is really chunky with brake spikes in between

it would be really good if you could just switch say remotes to try to isolate the issue

#5957

I had another remote and that was the feather remote and it had real cutouts no spikes in accel but almost “killing” me cutouts.
I thought vx1 is the safest bet…
The only difference I know between those two is, that I used PPM on the feather and uart on the vx1

#5958

Have you tried opening the remote to see if maybe one of the potentiometer wires has a bad connection or anything like that?

Have you considered that it might be your esc?

Will do that asap
I dont think the escapes are broken, because the issues differ from remote to remote… feather is known for cutouts and the vx1 behaves different.
