I’ve spent entirely too much time and money on this board to sell it. Ideally I’d want something like a Surron as well as my mtn board.

Literally, my thoughts every time someone sees me riding around and asks me how much I’d sell it for. I just say “nah” because I know they won’t like the number.

a 2.4 circularly polarized antenna is gunna be HUGE and the 900 even bigger, you’re almost going to have to carry a yagi in your backpack
for the small range we require for a remote i feel a dipole antenna is just fine… type of remote/receiver combo, frequency hopping/type etc. I feel is more important than a perfect antenna at the less than 2m range we commonly use remotes at…
however dipole orientation is very important, in riding stance if one were to align the null-point on the antennas, less than satisfactory results will be realized…

i usually tell them the price of entry is approximately the price of a small automobile

I feel like if I do that, they’re gonna try to rob me tomorrow.
Sometimes when someone says “How much does that cost?” I just say “less than a car” or “a couple hundred”

it’s even funnier when they find out i built it myself…
oh they say, i can do that!
I say, double the price

but when they see us in wheelie-mode esk8ing off into the sunset after a perfect 1/2 mile long manual… i’ll feel vindicated

Haha exactly
this 
When someone says
Do A kIcKfLiP
be like manual off into the sunset, up hills and everything

Do you first have to setup your vesc with the vesc tool before you bind the receiver with the remote? Does it even matter?

this is a cable for a Flipsky FSESC 6.6 150A. It got damaged with my board got ran over by a car. If I were to resolder it then would this be the correct wiring?
No. Yes, it matters. You need to do the binding before you do the setup in the VESC Tool.
If it’s a Mini there is a guide

So switched over to vx1 remote last night. It paired and everything was working.
Took apart remote today to reinforce things. Everything seemed solid.
Now remote won’t pair up again.
5 volts won’t wake the driver chip that powers the MCU. 9v plus the driver and MCU don’t use that much current. I have a 12v power pack from a router I soldered on a xt90. I sometime use to set up and flash escs.

open it up and unfukk everything you did last night… but especially pay attention to the antenna… (back by the thumb wheel) if it’s not in it’s proper place it can get broken, pinched, dislodged…

The free black wire? I’m not really sure how I would have fucked it up. I’ll try another mini remote. Would rather get another one than unfuck the vx1.
yeah the free black wire…
it can get trapped in the case halfs when closing the remote at best, and ripped off the PCB in the worst case… it’s a dipole so if if even one connection gets compromised, you’ll have TX problems…
and remember this is a world famous flipshit QA/QC remote… maybe the antenna was on it’s last legs when you opened it…???
only other thing i can think of is the battery is too low to TX… that’s a stretch but i’d check the battery level;
I have an unfukked vx1 that’s given me 1000s of miles of trouble less miles…

I charged it last night so battery should be good. I had glued the antenna down.
So either I fucked something up or this is another wonderful flipsky product…

i hope you didn’t wiggle the antenna around a bunch… the dipole is fairly trouble-free (robust) but a difficult solder at best on the outside shielding… it can be fukked up by wiggling it around… but i don’t know if you’d be able to notice…
sorry dude… that’s all I can think of…
sometimes we fukk things up… and sometimes we lose the esk8 lottery…
if you have one already… genius… if you have to buy another one… buy a puck… you’d already saved yourself a lot of time/problems/money
good luck dude…

after it paired the first time… you NEVER fukked with the receiver AT ALL before you tried to pair the remote the second time…
it’s weird that you paired it once and the remote didn’t remember the pairing…
weird weird indeed…
it’s gotta be the TX, and i’d venture most likely the antenna… you didn’t unscrew the PCB from the case, right?
how deep did you go into the remote?
(i’m giving you credit here that you didn’t fick something up)
