Wooow. The Mini remote has a pretty dangerous way of telling me the battery life is short by pulling the throttle back in a 5 seconds interval.

I think you should consider a lipo / liion upgrade for it ^^

I planned that but didnāt bother ordering parts yet. Donāt get me wrong, the battery life is great. I just threw 2 random battery inside that didnāt have much juice to begin with. I have a replacement battery with me but forgot the screwdriver.
Iām just suprised on how horrible the low battery communication is

Involve some Battery meter thing of course 
Only time I experienced that, itās because the 3 wire PWM cable going from the receiver to the ESC was smashed (between the ESC and enclosure which were bolted together) and the signal wire was almost completely broken.
Thatās not the low battery behaviour ā UNLESS you didnāt set the failsafe, then it could be. If you turn the board upside down while on, then turn off the remote, do the wheels stop turning?
How could i not set up the failsafe with your Guide in existence? Yes, once the remote turns off the throttle goes to the center position = no throttle.
Wires are fine. I assumed itās the low power warning because every time the remote automatically released the throttle the RED power led blinked once

Oh yeah thatās a low battery.
I tried to post a warning about using certain types of AA batteries in the remote are more dangerous than other kinds because they die quickly as opposed to gradually, but a couple guys on the [US] west coast shitposted my entire thread until it was useless. @BillGordon
What batteries are you using in it?

The build I am forming has 18mm wheel pulleys. My question is if I can only get 15mm motor pulleys and belts will this cause issues?
It will not cause any issues

Iām using some generic cheapo AAs i had laying around for probably 1 or 2 years. In fact the only 2 AA batteries in my house except my single rechargable AA.
iāll snap a pic in a sec.
The slower they die, the better. Definitely not āEnergizer Ultimate Lithiumā because those stay high until near the end then die really quickly

Its from an 8 pack for 2 bucks. Its the own brand from a drug store.
I put it with ~1.3x V
and now itās at ~1.22v
Ah yeah those are good.
I carry a tiny screwdriver and two extra AA in my pack also, along with the skate tool, a bearing, pliers, and small amount of other things
And yes, Iāve made it home before solely because I had one extra bearing with me

Who are those guys that custom make visors for full face MTB helmets?
Running into a spacing issue, how dumb is it to have a battery that terminates in bullets and split the input lead for a Unity to have matching bullets? I imagine as long as I terminate them in the opposite bullet it will be fine
