One standard morning commute. For some reason my charging adapter didn’t work this morning, so no extra ride today. FFS. :sob:

I am crying over being able to ride though, so maybe I should just shut up.

Testing the increase of motor current from 40 A to 60 A, now I can plow through sand and climb tall grass hills from dead stop, may increase it just a tiny bit to help when one or more wheels are stuck in a hole. On the few places I got stuck I was traction limited, so time to start sketching the front wheel drive single motor module

Motors stayed cool, peaking at 65°C, so these 6355 are more than enough for me

Also testing a new GoPro mount, a few caps bellow, didn’t bother to upload because it was taking to long and nobody watches the 2 hours of video anyway. And despite the fact that is dry as hell, the case started fogging

One frame is from my first try climbing a short steep hill, let’s say it didn’t work out, it’s not that big, but whatever

So much rain, but beer run needed to happen.

Home run was riddled with commuters in cars that were confused / surprised at this little vehicle flowing with the traffic.

Even had an idjit look me in the eyes while losing his driving skills, merging 20m in front of me from a side road with a yield sign, I was going 60 at the time.

Naturally had to get on the brakes, but I don’t think he expected me to keep up thereafter. Fkn hipster Land Rover Evoque driver.

Shakedown run on the news esc’s. Had to make some wiring changes as well. Kept it light after my last ride almost ended in eating shit at 65kph.

Never really hammered on it but was night and day difference than the flipsky. I didn’t think I’d feel a difference but the smoothness of power was great. Also resolved all of my issues with the VX2.

There’s absolutely more top speed to be had.

This board is tight! That slime green and frit looks sick. I am excited about my upcoming order of Venom @moon pulleys. What do you have your battery and motor amps set at?
