Not to rain on your parade, but I’ve been happy before when I finally, finally got a tracking number. But it was short lived.

I appreciate the honesty/ heads up, any good yet affordable options in Europe tho? I know BigBen is located in the UK, but don’t know his price range.

b264 · May 30, 2021, 11:59pm

I’m in USA, so I’m not too sure. A lot of shops like @BigBen, @Anubis, @ApexBoards, and @Trampa are no longer in the EU since Brexit. (Though I’m not sure if Trampa also has a German location )

I’ve heard good things about @EboardSolutions https://electricboardsolutions.com/

tracking number means nothing until u see movement

I’m in Ireland I’ve had about 5 orders from @Anubis since January (I think there hasn’t been a brexit change since then?) and only got caught for customs once when I used the slightly more expensive DPD instead of whatever the basic shipping option is.

Only 1 order off eboardsolutions, seemed pretty solid but I think shipping was quite expensive for me

Thanks! Will keep those guys in mind. Personally, I haven’t really noticed any difference since brexit, probably because my country isn’t in the EU either. So as long as the shipment isn’t crazy expensive, it doesn’t really matter where i buy from, but it tends to be cheaper from mainland Europe or Asia

Hehe luckily for me, I see movement

Sounds reassuring
I always find shipping to my country to be very inconsistent, so I never rule out (or blindly accept) any part of the world until I check the shipping cost from that
specific person or business I’m buying from

b264 · May 31, 2021, 1:13am

What is the name of your country?

frame · May 31, 2021, 1:42am

probably Denmark or Norway or Sweden or maybe all three if he/she is rich enough

that’s a good sign, now wait until the stuff is in ur hand to call it good enough

b264 · May 31, 2021, 1:51am

LoL I noticed that part, but we have folks on the forum in Scandinavia who might be able to help, that’s why I asked where.

@linsus is in Sweden, for example

linsus · May 31, 2021, 5:55am

@b264 scandinavia is in the EU you brute, Im guessing hes abit more south east

Shawnl55 · May 31, 2021, 7:29am

Damn that sucks. Thanks for telling me. Shoulda went with metro 107s.

Anubis · May 31, 2021, 10:14am

Only sweden is in the EEA though which is what we mean, he’s probably from Norway.

2rill · May 31, 2021, 2:14pm

Haha good guessing guys, @Anubis is right! Got yourself a little norwegian bitch over here

JeffyJ · May 31, 2021, 2:32pm

Any ideas? First I thought it was a motor issue but when I changed motors it’s doing the same. Could it be because I’m running it sensorless? Anyone experienced this before? It’s a Torque6 ESC

Evwan · May 31, 2021, 3:15pm

Yeah this is what happens when you run sensorless. If you don’t want to use sensors set up HFI. It’ll mostly alleviate the issue but it will make a lot of noise.

Any ideas how to turn “Charging” ON?

Tried several apps, but damn they really do know how to make best android apps

Evwan · May 31, 2021, 3:35pm

press and hold it, or swipe and hold. the app is shit

papryka · May 31, 2021, 3:39pm

No luck. Tho there are like million versions of the app so probably somehow need to find THE one.

My BMS will not allow my battery to charge. Here are the steps I already took.

Checked all continuity and fuses; all good
Checked the charger; it’s outputting the correct voltage
Manually checked the balance of all the groups; perfectly balanced.

This is a DALY 13s common port on a 13s4p 40T pack made by me.
