I already got a qoute for someone to ship me 1k of these display… very fast lead time for up to 3k.
If you payed someone to “develop” a new display for you, you got ripped off. It is very clear to me that this is the exact display made from good display that you ordered, same identifiers same construction etc. So far nobody in the qouting process said anything about EOL.
I agree with @magharees it really doesn’t matter that much, the point of the forum isn’t to win an argument.
The point of the forum is to share accurate information. Now if anyone wants a replacement display or to use this display in their own remote they know it’s straightforward and fast to order, even in larger qty. I got qouted something like $7 ea. for qty 1k, could probably get them lower if you ordered more.
Yeah this is BS, I want at least basic RC model range which is 400m. There are environments (or small areas on a ride) that have a really high noise floor. Which can cause temporary dropouts. Sure much of that can be mitigated with sophisticated frequency modulation and fail safes. But.
Id much prefer a controller that is NEVER out of range. Sure a run away board sux bad but it’s not as critical to function as preventing myself from crashing in first place from a drop out.
In what scenario would throttle get stuck on that would require the remote to have a short range so it does not run away into people or other stuff?
Mechanical damage to the remote from a crash?
At least offer a version of the receiver that has an antenna that can be put outside the enclosure for people that have carbon or metal enclosures.
Modern RC receivers actually have two independent receivers built inside with two antennas so that the two antennas can be placed in different locations. Then it can take whichever signal is stronger at the time. It greatly reduces dropouts. They are even really small. This is a safety feature I personally would like in a next gen remote. Dear santa
I was really hoping VESC WAND remote would be the bulletproof option but it doesn’t seem to be the case so far with so many people having connection problems and frank completely unwilling to take feedback and change the design/up the power.
I love them the Flame Dirtpipe - but they are just new - so I am figuring out about the damper config for ESK8, as those are designed for downhill.
Just some background:
Started with Trampa - they are great too with Elastomere.
Tried MBS Matrix II Metal - did not like the quality. The Threads where not nice machined etc. etc.
But I love the strong design of the dirtpipe.
