Secret Easter 2021 - Awaiting gifts

Thanks @Flasher for all the amazing gifts! I’m already eating my candy as I’m typing this :yum:

I can’t wait to get the new shiny pulleys on the cags! No longer need the sketchy PETG ones :grin:

So a package arrived at my local post-office, but it’s open only from 10 to 16 while i’m working on the other side of the city from 9 to 18 :disappointed:
Unless my neighboor proposes to self sacrifice herself, i’ll have to wait for the weekend !

Received my gift in the mail today from Switzerland!

Assuming that chocolate tastes similar to flipz, I’m happy! :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

So yeah, I got 4x cheap Focer 2.0 – 2 bigger, 2 smaller. I’m going to be honest: I have not been keeping up with the Cheap Focer thread, so I have no idea what the difference is, or what these babies can do. What I do know is that my friend who isn’t paying me any money for his board is going to get these as his ESC :laughing:

Although it might be a tight fit

Edit: I can make it fit :slight_smile:

In the meantime they will make a great addition to my “ready to be used but haven’t gotten round to it” ESC collection :stuck_out_tongue:

I’m not quite sure what the included attitude sensor is… is it for detecting foot pressure, like on a one-wheel? If so, I think could make use of that on my stealth build… :thinking:

Lots of analog skate stuff since that’s what I tend to do during the winter months

Awesome gifts thanks to my (not so secret) Easter/Santa person.

The chocolates were awesome too :+1:

So my neighbood sacrificed herself XD i was not able to wait for the weekend

Tank you so much !mysterious friend from Latvia !!!
i can’t wait to taste and try all of this :slight_smile:
and i’m super curious about the trucks :
i never used anything else than unbranded RKP trucks i got for free with cheap completes, i’m not even sure how you’re supposed to mount those regular kinping,

But i certainly have a drope through deck to experiment with,
until i finalise my modular low profile esk8 system
(placeholder for the build thread whenever i’ll find the courage to create it)

Edit : they are supposed to be top mounted, aren’t they ? ^^"

Those are TKP trucks, one of the best for esk8 due to it’s hex profile. Awesome gift :star_struck:

after customs and etc it was whole lot more
also sadly those motors decided to tell me the wires were coated in enamel after i cut the bullet connectors off. grrrrrrrrrrr

also got 2 builds in the process now and on botht he drivetrain is around half the cost of the build

just now I realized that you cut them off…Why not…unsolder them?

RIGHT lmao his board is way more than surfrodz

Most of them are

You’re further invalidating your “I’m poor” statement

Hell, you’re balling out more on esk8 than I am, granted I have actual bills and invest money, but still.

hate soldering. my fingers no longer feel the pain of being burnt i have killed them so much. to me if its silicone wire its easier to cut and resolder

all motors i have used so far havent had an enamel coating

yep i know but its slightly less soldering then doing both

So glad you have a quality LY deck to go along with your gift :smiley:

You should be able to drop through the trucks, and with that deck profile I think it should even clear the ground on sharp turns; my switchblade barely scrapes it, which is why I’m upgrading to 85mm wheels lol
