Noob question thread! 2020_Summer

@Geo_Engineering_FTW it all depends on the kind of surface you’re riding on really!

I can’t comment on compatibility with bergs, don’t have any experience with those mounts.

okay cool, well ill wait for somone else to hopefuly chime in on that one then.

My experience is 8mm is “extremely ridiculously terrible” and 20mm is “not enough” and 30mm is barely enough to be comfortable but does work.

25mm might be tight but workable. Try to get a few more millimeters. Put griptape on the motor can and sand the deck if you need to.

ok, i might just ride it and see how it goes. put all my weight on one side and it doesn’t come near to touching the deck, so maybe it’s ok.

On the firmware tab, what firmware does the vesc tool state you have? 3.103 is ackmaniac.

If you have stock unity firmware. It’s 23.46. vesc tool sees that as too new.

Use focbox ui. Or force install VESC/bldc 5.1 on it.

Focbox ui - 23.46. (Last one)

There’s a choice there idk how to advise on. I’ve been on 23.46. Waiting in 5.2 Wanting less new in my world.
