Reading my message again, I can definitely see how it easily could be understood as very eskate specific.
That was not what I meant. I meant generally speaking for everyone who’s out in the traffic whether you’re a car, pedestrian, bike or whatever. Animals excluded for the most part though, as it’s mostly the owners fault depending on the animal.
At the end of the day, I actually believe eskaters are one of those putting the least amount of people in danger.
Here in Denmark, there are also LOTS of times where pedestrians don’t even look to any side when crossing the road, which put us in so much danger, just like you mention. Totally agree that pedestrians, cars and bikes can be just as big a-holes, if not bigger.
I’ve also seen one guy in NYC on a unicycle crossing a red light while screaming and almost hitting a kid, and I got no respect for such behavior either.
So to clear it up, generally speaking, if you’re consciously putting other people in danger by the way you’re riding/driving/walking/behaving, I got no respect for you. It has nothing to do with what vehicle you do or don’t drive, but the way you act.
I stand by my words and I really appreciate that you nicely pointed out how my message can easily be misunderstood
Ah yes, classic NYC Behavior. This was a much better re-wording. This makes more sense for others as well since this is saying “if you are trying to hurt someone, you’re in the wrong”.
yep i shouldve also. i had been told in the past it was ok but sadly some other gurus have told me its better to avoid.
next time would def be changed (all other later ones were soldered)
Same here. Along with buying illegitimate parts from the esk8 community. Apparently if you use their links, you are buying fake stuff. Gotta love how broad the community gets.
yeah people love to run red lights here. I only do it when there are no cars and no pedestrians crossing, so not often. I get MADE FUN OF for stopping at reds smh
I love when random people ask about my board, then I switch to mode 3 and absolutely take off because 60 motor and batt amps on a gear ratio that favors torque
I thought that you redid the nickel strip, since it’s still not optimal wiring…

If I were you, I’d really try my best to remove the nickel strip and redo it. I think you’ll be much happier with the end result.
@legend27
i created the same scenario on some practice cells and tried to remove the nickel and it required huge amounts of pulling and ripping and then sanding. i thought its not a viable option. i agree that this way was not perfect. but realistically i dont think its viable to remove the nickel
im considering adding a strip down and then soldering some more wires across there if you think its a good idea (adding prob an extra 2 wires on later cells, will use nickel strip away from the cells)
How did the end result turn out after you removed the nickel strip?
I really think that the more you’re adding from now on, the worse it becomes. It’s adding more points of failure and becomes more messy.
If the end result turned out good with the previous cells you cleaned from nickel strip, go with that. I can’t recommend anything else. Not even with how it is now, which only leaves one option…
If the end result was bad, I’m sure you can find another way to remove the nickel strip.
with the calculations (rough ones) i did it seems currently this setup should be able to handle the amps required 120-150 max
there is plenty of nickel there and i already have an attached nickel piece which i added the balance wire to so i can add an extra cable from there if necessary (unless thats a bad idea)
