Mach 1S? Seems like a really low voltage for an esk8 battery

I’m really hoping the S stands for Smol

Interested! Where is this going on the path of Radium? More tech than the Mach One?
Not more tech no, from what I understand, simplified electronics. I don’t believe there will be RTS in this one but is full of other surprises I’m sure
No numbers on this model, but maybe I’ll scribble one on just for you

The Mach One S is the mass market version of the Mach One.
An overall refinement of the chassis that takes our initial concept of modular decks and makes it a practical reality.
An overhaul of electronics, and our first non Vesc board, with a noteable increase in efficiency and range.
The introduction of our new motors, a ground up re-design.
And the price is probably the biggest headline.

This might have me reevaluate wanting to get a lacroix! I’m curious what tech it will have like RTS and other cool stuff like that. Also customization for speed and torque. Looking forward to it. What time line are you looking at ish?

The Mach One S is a completely different board to a Lacroix. Perhaps if you share what your needs/wants are I can help you decide.
Shipping will commence in May in the order that pre-orders were placed.
The new remote features an OLED display with board telemetry.
An anodised alloy frame.
Billet throttle wheel with hall effect position sensor.
12hr battery life.
Adjustable power modes.
A solid 2.4ghz connection, but most importantly a safety feature that ramps to neutral throttle if signal is lost, and then ramps back up when signal is regained. All eskate remote receivers should have this safety feature.

Always innovating, my friend!
That’s a bold blanket statement. Some folks may want to handle that in ESC firmware instead of remote firmware. There is no one thing that’s great for everyone.
By remote I’m inferring the receiver also which is actually where the safety feature sits.
How would you handle signal loss?
I personally would want it to default to neutral with no signal. But maybe someone else may not. But it could do that in the receiver firmware or in the ESC firmware or both and ramping could be applied in either the receiver or the ESC or both. I doubt there is one way which is best for everyone.
If it defaults to neutral while you’re accelerating hard you will be instantly binned as many well know.
I truly believe ramping to neutral gradually over 1-2s is the safest way to handle connection loss.
And I don’t understand your argument against that.
I am not arguing against that; sounds like a great plan.
I feel that blanket statements are not helpful or accurate.
Even that can be achieved in multiple different ways. Some ways can be adjusted by users, some can’t, some the ramping can be adjusted, some can’t.
You can take a setting and move it to a user-nonadjustable place and say that every single esk8 remote should do this, and I can disagree with you. Some folks may already be doing that in other ways, some folks may want it done differently, some folks may not even want it. But a blanket statement seems incorrect. Lots of folks use lots of things in lots of different ways for lots of different reasons.
It sounds great … for some folks.
