Classy job. Fair play.
Yep, just rit dye following the instructions on the bottle and the lovely write up by @Anubis. I doubled the dye because itās such a dark color I wanted. Super easy process and no deformation.
Would recommend.
Some time ago I had seen a mesh that they put as ventilation and that the water did not pass but now I cannot find them, you know who sold them
Thanks dude.
It is TB 218 baseplates with the boardnamics 220 hangers and the regular boardnamics mounts with the single clamps.
Love when electronics doesnāt work right and you have no idea why
Did you just take a still photo and added a blur effect? The front wheels blur is opposite of the direction
Youāre a blur
Dirty little secret this is a composite of two shots put of five attempts, the one with the better blur is the background I also dropped my remote in in the foreground shot which had a much faster shutter speed and didnāt look as exciting
I know its probably too late to change anything, but as a design choice wouldnāt a slidable switch be better? I just feel like a toggle button for your lights is something that could be easily hit while riding. Super cool to have that control in the remote though.
Edit: oh wait, is it a switch? I canāt see it clearly.
One of my Mini Remotes that I modified with a toggle switch for the power switch ā I used a 3 position ON-OFF-ON toggle switch for this very reason. If you accidentally bump it while riding, itās likely youāll just turn it from āONā to āONā
Thatās awesome haha! Why did you go with that type of toggle? Iām realizing now that buttons/toggles might have better waterproofing options than switches as well.
That was my initial idea, but I didnāt have any in hand unfortunately, but in this place I never have my hand on while riding
Will change in the future so you can have more modes by using a number of presses
Now to troubleshoot why the hell the lights enter is party mode anytime the motor is on
Oh brother. Sheās a beauty
You powering a buck converter for the lights off the main battery? Wonder if the buck is just drawing too much current when powering the lights is it an issue without remote control of the lights? Some caps on the power out to the lights might help to give them some buffer or more caps on the power into the esc so spikes donāt get into the power system so much (do this with quads to clean up the power if getting crappy video signal cause of dirty power going into vtx and/or camera)
Well, ask me in a few weeks when Iāve got some decent mileage under my belt.
But if they donāt break under normal use theyāre already ahead in my books.
Why? Are you breaking Matrix II hangers regularly?
Back in the day, when you were still just a glimmer of hope in your papiās eyes, I had a set of Matrix 2 that just left a lot to be desired in the QC department. Main hole for the set screws wasnāt even consistently spaced from hanger end & eventually the baseplate started cracking.
Beyond that, Iāve seen more broken Matrix2 hangers/baseplates than any other channel truck. At least a dozen over the last 2ish years between builders, here, & Facebook. I realize the newer ones have stepped up in quality, but there are better options out there now in my personal opinion.
With said said, Rockstar2, MBS/Kenda Tires, & F5 Bindings are pretty much must-have gear for me, so I am excited to see what new stuff theyāre bringing to the market in the future. Matrix2 are just not for me.
This has me making all sorts of considerations.
Do tell?
