They make a good 6355 too

So turned out my 7 ply diy deck was fucked up. I noticed it last night of how off the trucks are based on how it was pressed, I got a 9 ply veneer waiting to be used, is that strong enough to where it won’t damage the electronics? Same time if it’s strong enough I would be able to complete it faster. Also thinking since I don’t have foam and I don’t want to mess up another board, I was thinking about getting those concave pads, thoughts?

Whether it’s strong enough or not, it can always be strong enough by adding some fiberglass layers near/on the bottom of the stack.

got a bustin yoface here and for some reason the enclosure wont come off (stuck to the deck) i removed all the bolts but it seems stuck
any tips?
Spray a lil iso and pry gently, make sure to get good purchase with your pry tool or it could damage the enclosure

cant really find a good position to pry from
it seems like the enclosure is sunk into a cavity in the deck
the yoface hybrid?
Yeah, the deck is routed out with a channel for the enclosure. I can’t find it right now, but there’s assembly details somewhere - I’m pretty sure that channel is filled with silicone adhesive. It’s very secure. It’ll take more than a small amount of force to pry it apart. It’s not meant to be user-serviceable.

ah ok
that looks like a pain to remove
gonna have to clean out all the silicone i guess

When are heatsinks required?
I’ve got a Xenith, and I’m gonna have a 10s4p p42a battery. Is a heatsink really necessary? I see a lot of folks just toss unity/xenith in the enclosure. Wondering if I can get away without one…
u can, but depends on what motor amps u running at, u can run into thermal throttling faster than u expect, the heatsink is just to prolong that period until someone invent an active cooling solution that can be weatherproof

Well there’s liquid cooling which can have pipes to an external radiator and that can be easily weatherproofed but I doubt anyone would sacrifice battery space for a pump and reservoir and tubing and a cooling block.
Need some insight guys and gals. I’m switching over to Xenith 2.1.
I’ve run motor detection but
There is no input response from the remote, as of it wasn’t connected. Remote is set to FSESC. Any ideas on what needs to be adjusted?
How is the VX2 plugged in and have you set the input settings correctly in VESCTool?
It’s plugged in the uart port? And do you mean input settings for the remote?
Yes, make sure it’s set to UART on the correct VESC (xenith is a dual) and make sure the baudrate set correctly. Also very that TC/RX is swapped from reciever to VESC.
