I still find it ironic that in his belt-driven days, Jason shat on hub motors saying they would never be good enough and were inherently flawed, and yet they ended up being his downfall. I seriously wonder if Enertion would have succeeded if the Raptor 2 had any other drivetrain. Sure, there were other issues with the board, but inefficient hubs that liked to spontaneously break with disintegrating urethane seemed to be almost a standard feature.
Idea for next ESk8 News article: “How hub motors and arrogance killed the Unity.”
I agree, an “Enertion eulogy” with a brief history of the rise and fall of one of the biggest names in esk8 would make an awesome esk8.news feature for jason day
I use a dual 6.6 plus and if I try to run motor detection from side 2 it gives the wrong firmware or cannot read config bullshit, side 1 works fine after I update both sides separately
@anorak234 was way ahead of us all. He wrote up a nice “Enertion eulogy” a few months ago but the timing was not right. I’m sure he can be talked into dusting it off and polishing it up.
