Built a 10s4p battery from cells reclaimed from a GTR battery that had a bad BMS, itās been charging for a couple hours and still hasnāt gone up, 2A charging. How can I fix this issue? I still have some extra cells if I need to replace a p-group. Pack is stuck at 33.9v.
Dang you had to go and see that
I have nothing to say yet, itās all in my head. I would likely be looking at it being a maytech v2 mod or a osrr dual trigger mod
Upvote for the Maytech v2 mod, just cos Iāve got so many of them.
Iām just curious what the features of a track-focused remote should be as compared to any other use-case. I think I want the same intuitive ergonomics in every case.
Maybe one limitation of remote-holding thatās more significant in racing is the ability to grab a rail with your remote hand.

Mouth remote inside the helmet to keep both hands free.
We really need a new trigger remote in the scene though. The Maytech v2 and the vx3 have kind of grown stale.

I donāt really know why I said track focused - I really meant, one that you could ACTUALLY slide on if you needed to use your remote hand as a slider
Trust me, itāll look weird, but the goal would be ergonomics, using the correct motion of your fingers.
Maybe dumb question, and I donāt actually race yet, but why would you want to do that?

On a tight turn, pulling the outer edge can help tighten your curve. Gives you better lines in the right situation.

I love NotJustBikes but it really does make me so envious of how (seemingly) quickly these projects get put in place. Of course this is an outside perspective but it seems like things regarding infrastructure happen so much faster.
In Austin I just read about a new paved bike path that replaces an unused rail line being implemented near my work and was really excited until I saw that earliest completion was 2025ā¦

Purple area is my skatable within home and safe roads area.
That red line is a bike bath that connects as far as my heart desires.
I can not freaking wait for this bike trail project to be done. Notice how my hood is connected to it via a nice green āhigh priorityā line.
The other end of that green line goes to a bunch of rural land owned by the zoo where they let the cheetahs run.

Agreed.
Iām getting pretty substantial differences between the 3ds and esk8 news calculator.
With 8" tires
18wh/km average
12s6p p42a
15t/72t
I get 28.8km range on 3ds and 57.6km on esk8.news.

how? wtf?

I have the same issues, not only with range but Iāve had up to 30km/h speed differences between the two as well.
Methinks one of the two calculators is broken somewhere.

Iād like to know as well
Speed is also weird on 3ds. It has speed average which is almost correct (i get a real world max speed of 52/53km/h
But then it lists the other speed tab. Which 67km/h max and 61 loaded

Whoa it doubles range exactly

I only ever look at the average speed (loaded) and itās always been pretty damn accurate for me.
Range also seems to be real world accurate for me.
Iāve never used the esk8news calc cos it looks gross and hard to read

I think the news calculator might be more accurate range wise.
I was getting 20-25ish km with a 12s1p 12Ah lipo setup that has 550ish Wh.
The p42a pack would have roughly double the Wh

I believe the min speed is what you can get at your lowest voltage, and max speed is spinning wheels up at full voltage.
Dunno what those other ones are tho

Just like me

Is there an option for wh/km on esk8news? Or does it default to 9wh/km? That would explain the double value
Edit: just noticed in the screenshots. Esk8news doesnt specify if wh/km is for one motor or the whole boardā¦ i assume its for the whole board
