Mach One production update - we’re adding an anti-spark mosfet switch, 1 month delay.
Read more here:
TLDR: Makerx DV6s has parasitic drain and we didn’t want to repeat the same mistake other brands in the past have made with boards arriving DOA. 1 month production delay to fix this issue is also a smart business decision if we want to stick around

Yup. This killed my brother’s Bustin Sportster battery last winter 
Any updates regarding the wheel production btw? Riding season is about to be over here in Latvia so it doesn’t really matter when they get shipped or not, but it would be still nice to know what the timeline is looking like 
Final wheel prototypes have been confirmed and production has started. Expecting to start shipping in 4-6 weeks.
Really sorry for the wait, the wheels have several production stages that are done sequentially and when one stage has a delay it holds everything up which happened with almost every prototype set so took at lot longer than anticipated.
We’re on the home stretch now. Making wheels is harder than it looks😅

Static load testing the Mach One’s new mosfet switch.
My favourite makeshift load dump with <$30 of parts.
Same fets as the DV6s, ran cooler than expected. These are some really nice fets.

Is the d100s any different? I’ve left my 4wd d100s board for months at mid voltage, and have never had any issues with it draining down.

Relevant thread, slightly outdated.
Not sure what the newest generation of vescs are using.

It works the same way. It will have a higher voltage regulator so don’t know if its better or worse than the DV6s. The quiescent current can vary a lot between regs

The battery nerds in here might find this interesting. 100A continuous discharge test on the 12S6P Molicel P42A battery for the Mach One.
Time is on the left side, after 12 minutes @100A the test was terminated as the 10AWG wires heated the front nickel section to 80C while P groups 5 and 6 were at 69C.
This slightly exceeded expectations, with the typical maximum “continous” current we’ve found to be below 85A on the Genesis boards.

That’s a spicy meatball!
Curious that the 10awg is the bottleneck rather than the other connections, nice work!

We’ve got more 6485 and 6455 motors coming (with some upgrades) but most importantly we’ll be stocking them in the US (finally)!
You can expect those to be in US stock in about 2 weeks, but pre-orders are open now so you can take advantage of the black Friday sale! -
We’re collaborating with MadEsk8 to bring a new upgraded 6495 motor to the market, so you guys that want more power can have it. More on this to come.

The Radium SR125 wheels are getting close to finally shipping!
I want to give a really big thanks to everyone who has pre-ordered, its a huge help to us being able to make my dream wheels come to fruition and we couldn’t have done it without your support.
We’re now just waiting for the product boxes to be finished, and we expect to be shipping these puppies in 2-3 weeks time. -
We’ve got some pretty nice Merch now! Super comfortable hoodies and shirts with a racing oriented style, made by the same factory that Puma uses.
Merch – Radium Performance -
The Black Friday sale is on! 10% off ON TOP of existing discounts for certain products, this includes SR125 wheels, motors and the new merch!

I wonder if shipping will be more or less convenient given it’ll be the holiday season
Awesome to hear though! Not sure if the product box matters though, I’m sure people will be slapping them on their builds as soon as they arrive

The box is important to making sure they arrive safely. We need custom boxes made either way so might as well make em pretty.

When will the SR125 be released?
Are there to be different duro available?
4 Likes
Everything is expected to be finished this Friday and we’ll be packing orders over the weekend!
The production duro is 65A which is similar to the pre-production wheels.
I’ve been testing 70A for the last couple of months which is a little more efficient but the 65 definitely grip and carve better, especially in cold temperatures.
I’m very excited to see what everyone thinks! I think we’re going to see some sexy looking builds with these wheels. I hope someone’s putting them on a Prototipo.
