Hey, yeah I am still using the d100
Oki Doki @Dnollie, send me a DM with the address you want shipped to.
Tested working on the bench:
You can operate it in the Kapton renforced anti-static bag:

Sending DM now
I sent a email type message but you haven’t got back to Me before through that.
awesome build
how much range did u end up getting with that battery? I’m about to start a build with the same deck haha Great Build though man! I don’t think I could have done it when I was 15, definitely something to be proud of!
@Dnollie what FW are you using on your D100s? If you’re using any of 6.xx FW then Bluetooth is a big no no if you’re plan on using VESC mobile app. There’s an issue rn with VESC controllers getting janky if you use VESC mobile app on newer FW.
It’s actually running an old firmware, I couldn’t update it for some dumb reason.
Hovering somewhere around 13 miles
flash the generic bootloader in the bootloader tab next time. that should fix it
Just make sure you check it later before doing any bluetooth stuff.
Update time!
So Ive been playing around in vesc tool, getting a hang of it and learning more about how to use it, and I stumbled apon HFI mode. It is frankly amazing. I bet sensored is even better but one of my hall sensors is not working, so I was pointed to HFI. I wasn’t really sure how much “vibration” in starting to throttle is normal, but once I turned HFI on… it was incredible, the smoothness on acceleration. It really made this whole experience that much more worth it, and that feeling that I have created a machine from the ground up that can reach speeds as fast as a car… it’s very rewarding. something I haven’t really felt before. (On a side note, I don’t think I’ll ever hit more than 35 mph
) I took it on its first proper ride today, it’s Been raining a lot here in NorCal. Got about 10 miles in. Got a good feel for the board, not much belt slippage, unless I started on a slope. Even on steep hills the belts kept good grip. top speed I hit was around 25, yes— I wore full body armor and a full face helmet. Got the board super muddy and it was a pain to clean. I know I’m just going to have to accept that it will stay dirty especially where I live, close to town but on a gravel road that gets really muddy after rain.
Sensors are pretty nice, but unnecessary.
The new HFI setup and stuff is pretty awesome. Almost makes it more trouble than it’s worth to even run sensor wires, especially in some builds like street longboards.
Glad you’re enjoying it. Hopefully your friends will want to build one too! More customers is better for all of us.
Nice!! Congrats. First miles on a (new) board are always special.
Thats what we all say
I know, it would be really cool to get some of my friends into it, Ive already got some Onewheeling buddies that I can try to convert
You can also introduce your onewheel friends to VESCwheels, a great stepping stone into DIY esk8.
Yeah, I’ve been looking into that, I have a plus I want to convert, not really sure how tho.
- As long as one of your motor still run sensored, start up will generally be smoother vs no sensors at all. Still can’t do launches unless you have both motors sensored.
- If you let you board dry out overnight, a brush will do a good job getting all the dirt off.
An important pre-requisite to vesc life.
but also a forever quest.
