Looser bushings front: check. I will try putting my weight more forwards and doing a forward lean when turning, you are right that I currently just lean side to side
@Titoxd1000 I am looking forward to split angles for this reason! I liie your suggestion of pivoting my back foot, and I have tried it. The problem I run into with that is that I naturally stand duck-footed so turning my feet inwards makes my stance very unstable.
My question must have gotten missed yesterday so here goes. I took the can off of my motor because I thought I broke something and I got it back on and it doesn’t spin straight. I figured out why its not straight but I cant get the can to spin straight. When I tighten the bolts holding the can to the shaft it seems to make the can off kilter by a tiny amount if I tighten the bolts all the way. When I loosen the bolts a bit the can is straight but the bolts are loose. Whats the best course of action?
@Jordicious I can understand this is all a bit confusing so let me help you out.
First, let’s put politics aside, Enertion is what it is, if the product is what you need then that is the essential for you
These are the options I would choose in your situation.
Wait until torqueboards comes’ out with their ESC.
This is also wisest since
-you have the time to wait ( i live in the French Alpes so I know what winter is all about)
-very good customer service, he is right here on the forum
-Can guarantee (99.9%) it will be a good product at the correct price.
-Sorry for the 0.1% of doubt, @torqueboards will confirm
Unity. We avoid dual ESC’s that come from flipsky and maytech because of the problems stated above but the unity is different. It is a super solid product.
Read Damon’s review here
Your stated Maytech. again No.2 is better because of price and quality but your riding your board in the end
That makes me think of a great question.
i know when i was riding ( board under maintenace) i duck stanced when i cruised and carved but when i go fast you are more like a +30/+30 stance (snowboard reference sorry)
so how do you go fast with Stella?
This seems like the wisest course of action
I have indeed heard nothing but good things about TB products, so I’m thinking I’ll hold out for a bit until we at least know more about what those will look like.
Idk if you have ever seen @MoeStooge’s wedge on top of his deck but he plants his foot on it to accelerate freakishly fast. I faux wedge my foot on the rear binding to blast off.
This position gives you very little turning control on your rear foot and makes for very stable speed runs
If you can pull the solder blob off the PCB, then it’s not passable. That joint looks cold to me - You can tell by the sharp border between the solder blob and the pad. It should wet out and form a smoother transition.
A properly done joint, when pulled apart, will leave almost all the solder on the pad and just the wire will rip out of the solder. It will take quite a bit of force.
