Same. Even after I knew for certain it’s PWM, I was guilty of still saying PPM in convos for a while until I decided it really is important to be accurate with theses terms. I know bad habits are hard to break but we’ve gotta try.

  1. Puck and remote competing for space: puck winning.
  2. Wanting to slam my puck on the ground. Not wanting to destroy my remote.

Why can’t someone design a decent one of those POS rubber thingies that go in your charge port when you aren’t charging? They are annoyingly hard to get in and most times when I charge I find it fell out anyway.
