Noob question thread! 2020_Summer

Did you do all terrain on those urethane wheels, was it a drop in swap for some intermediate thing like an airless rubber/clouds, or did you swap the whole gear drive assembly out?

My solution for cleaning is to just take the thing apart to upgrade or mess with it so regularly that you accidentally clean it

How do people typically secure their vesc’s inside of their top mount enclosure on MTB’s?

Is this amount of wiggle room too much for truck screws?

I used Velcro. Dual Lock is probably a better option since that should have no flex, but Velcro absorbs vibrations a little better.

If you aren’t able to use velcro due to mounting surfaces, or don’t want to use screws, you can also use the compression of high quality foam to keep it in place as well.

Where is the best place to buy a belt?

Ross or Marshals are really cheap, and Kohl’s has some good options. Target is a good middle ground between price and quality, but sometimes they dont have bigger sizes.

So do you just stand on the cables?
Also why is everything you build so neat and organized.

The only thing I might worry about would be heat if it is mounted with compressed foam.

Yeah, it depends on what type of foam it is

For neoprene it won’t start to melt until like 260C

It’s a fire-resistant material to begin with

how do I know which ones to buy? I know what length but do not know what type. HTD5 is correct?

Well it would depend on your pulleys, but yes, HTD5M is the most common one

Not everyone owns a router with a 1/2" bit. Just wondering what holds a 20lb battery in place when the board is upside down.

Not quite sure, maybe you inadvertently created a ground loop

Whoo hoo, I didn’t kill it!! Bro, I can be such a burnout sometimes- I forgot I added switch!

Well, what I have killed is another Flipsky receiver. These things seem to die if you simply look at them sideways. Plugging the tx/rx pins in backwards can’t kill them, can it? I have no idea what killed this one, but really wish I did so I don’t kill anymore.

Does anyone else make VX2 receivers besides FS? Is it possible to flash your own on one of the generic modules?

I have come to conclusion that one’s luck is directly related to one’s view of the universe.

You can buy just the receiver for the vx2 from a few different sources but I think flipsky makes em all.

I’ve never had issue burning mine out so can’t tell you what may have caused that. Did you have to change wiring on it for your esc or something?
