so, among my current to do list is “learn how esc’s work well enough to physically build one if i wanted or needed to.” so hey guys explain to me how exactly this xenith i have sitting here works, and why it would stop doing so, if you could and would be willing to. i understand that the esc is basically a smart regulator between the battery and motor. but how does it do so and why does it fry? i understand that there can be a simple manufacturing flaw to blame, but in a perfect system, exactly what does the esc do, and how? and exactly what breaks them and how? bad manufacturing aside.
dont mind me, im half drunk, and my quest log is very long.
I used to run a business in another hobby not unlike esk8, selling parts to people all over the world. Shipped to 30+ countries from the US.
What no one tells you is that you can get a “business account” with all of the major shipping companies (except USPS) with a single phone call. You don’t need anything more than a half-baked story about what homebrew small business you run and some vague promises to increase your international shipping quantity over the years to come, and you immediately unlock 30%-50% off retail price.
The only reason anyone should be paying retail prices are you send less than 10 packages a year and/or you’re too lazy to save money. Granted your new account rep will hound you (twice a year) to check in on you, but you never have to answer or respond.
Even with USPS, you can get better pricing through PayPal (http://paypal.com/shipnow - this link appears nowhere on their site, so i have it bookmarked) for free or Stamps.com for a small fee (or Shopify if you already have a store)
Last protip - never ever ever go to a post office and buy a label in person. It takes forever, costs more, and there’s a non-zero chance the guy types it in wrong. Always pay online and print.
