Best decision ever. Nobody needs interference, dropout or buffering issues in their life.

Thereā€™s nothing more ring clenching than a drop out.
Saying that i have had a maytech in that board for 2 years and its been good overall. I am still not convinced its not a bms related issue. I have not had to open that enclosure since I built it so its time for a strip down.

Either way bro, rest and heal up, dislocation sucks.

Can confirm after seven or so shoulder dislocations, they suck big time. First was violent at the bottom of a 25ā€™ waterfall. Iā€™ll never forget that February Sunday on the side of the creek trying to put it back in. Iā€™m good at it now.

Do the rehab every damn day. I can tell the difference in mine 15-17 years later if I do the rehab on a regular basis. If not shit gets loose and more likely to come out.

It will be a whileā€¦ Iā€™ve almost got the deck profile where I want itā€¦ I need more acceleration ramp and a bit more rise on the rearā€¦

then the coreā€¦ then the enclosure, then all thatā€™s left is making this shit! spacing out the 3-links to get good ride height now, then Iā€™ll fukk with the nose and tail shape

Iā€™ve got all the time in the world manā€¦ Remember to make cutouts for the 3link rode to come through for height adjustments! Why the camber in the middle of the deck?

A radio dropout is sure a lot less ass-clenching when either

A) only one side dropped out
or
B) one side dropped out 50ms before the other one, making the jolt much smaller

Sometimes it pays to have dual radio receivers
