Yo! Good to compare data, I tried logging my MakerX through Floaty but it won’t connect — what do you use to get data into Float View?

Good to hear your TC isn’t kicking in much. In my case the issue gets exaggerated when doing tight figure-8s on smooth concrete while going full throttle and shifting my weight back. On normal rough asphalt with equal pressure it’s barely noticeable. I only feel it sometimes when carving harder, where it can throw me slightly off balance. My stock SBX doesn’t do this at all. I’ve seen similar behaviour on another setup with FB-5X spring trucks. I think the issue was always there but is now worse due to the added flex and the center wheels lifting from the Otherboard trucks.

Because TC shows as “disabled” in VESC Tool on the stock SBX, I’m pretty sure there’s some custom ERPM-equalising logic running in their firmware :thinking: Also interesting: the SBX patent shows a scheme. If they’re using VESC-based firmware, I wonder how they implemented that.
