Is that 400a setting just for the Xenith/Unity or any 4.xx esc?
I would always set “Absolute Maximum Current” to “the maximum amount it will allow you to set it at”.
There are different limits for each hardware.
There is already overcurrent protection and adding another one that doesn’t work as well and just cuts your brakes is not helpful from an esk8 perspective. Maybe some other uses for a motor controller might benefit from that, besides esk8.

I have looked everywhere and found nothing of good use. Eventually i ordered from a machine shop on ebay, took about a week to get them through but i got 4 10mm id x 10mm long spacers for £15.
You can also use DIN 988 shims, but please order from someone that sells around 100 for £11 and get steel ones, not aluminium

Thanks for all the help!
They are a PITA to find I’m figuring out.
For context I have a 10-8 stepped axels. The pulley sits on the 10mm part with a 10mm bearing. Currently the pulley sits to close to the motor mount so I need to get it fixed further out.
I figure a bearing spacer would work the best.
I assume steel is the best option so that when I tighten down the wheel which will tighten the pulley that it doesn’t crush?

Yep, you tighten it down and nothing bad happens. Aluminium shims are too soft and are generally a lot harder to cut nicely, while those steel ones almost look laser cut
Keep in mind not to crush the bearings between each other when you add shims because it will mess up the bearings before you set foot on the board. Try the 0.2 shims and find just the right distance

What about something like this? Carbon steel?

Good fall back option, though I haven’t measured it I do need a good bit of distance.

Found these through Amazon. 0.3mm thick.
The actual website has loads of options. Including the 0.2 that you talked about.

Good options, minimum order 100 pieces and he does 0.1mm as well, but you need thicker ones too.
Ideally you want the 10id 12mm od or 14mm od ones to be smaller than the bearing inner race

Someone in my area is selling an Exway X1 with probably a shot battery for 200 euros. He says the board sometimes won’t turn on, guessing it is the battery and/or bms.
You guys think it’s worth it to buy and replace the battery on it? Or since the exway x1 is now old, and not easily upgradeable, to not do it lol?
exway does not officially sell the x1 / x1pro battery pack tho
Sir, this is a DIY forum.
Please calm down. We will find a solution.

im not sure if the cutout in the X1 deck even allow 18650 cells, since the X1 and X1 pro both used super thin 12s lipo pouch packs, like this:
someone tried to mod the x1 deck to fit 21700 cells, but that reddit OP never get back with any update, i fear it may have ended badly

got 4 focboxes which i connected via a cable to a pc and every one of them came back saying are you sure this port belongs to a vesc
changed cable same issue. anyone know what it could be
Go into the connection tab, on the right is a refresh button, click it and the COM port should change, then use the connect button next to the refresh, instead if the sidebar.
