Usually such a crash alo affects the aluminium parts. If a short 12mm steel axle bends, the entire truck will suffer. After such a crash it is safer to replace the baseplate and hanger.

I can’t help but notice this thread is not getting moderated in the same way other threads are.
Clearly this thread could use a split it the same rules apply to everyone here, yeah? Unless there’s a specific reason why it’s getting special treatment?

Split was made as you were typing this, apparently.

You’re gonna need to start that thread a bit earlier than that split I think.

I’ll take a look at what I missed. Thanks.
this is very surprising to me. I’ve been using the wand everywhere , from urban riding to off road. As of yet I must’ve put about 100 miles on it. It’s been working like a dream. The display and build quality is excellent. Throttle feels premium and I’ve had zero connection problems. The extra creatures like smart reverse and optional reverse are amazing. Cruise control is great for long rides and when you wanna check telemetry on the go!
Do you ride in a busy city?
Kinda. I ride in Seattle. I’ve had dropouts with my previous remote. I used the feather remote. I had carbon fiber skinned on both the top and bottom of my deck and I had a CF skinned enclosure. However pulling the antenna outta the receiver fixed that.
Even though taking the antenna out twisted it , taking it out was a better improvement than the bad effects of twisting the antenna. So interference of layers > interference of twisted antenna based upon my experience

has anyone made the wand weatherproof?

Just get a puck trampa is starting to suck especially with all the bs about this vesc shit they kinda need to fall BK and continue to produce good products for the community. They should listen, take feedback, and product products we want and need. It’s not a good look for Trampa Frank stop ur bs

I guess that you could take it out of the metal enclosure, conformal coat/spray it and then seal it with some silicone. In theory pretty easy to do.
I coat all the electrical parts in my board: remote/bms/esc/receiver etc

When I get caught in rain, I stick my hand +remote into a stash bag. Keeps my hand and remote dry. Wet hands are not ideal to handle a controller, so for me a bag with pull string is ideal.

It isn’t ideal for my situation, I have a light and a bell mounted on the pistol grip, I’m gonna try to make it as waterproof as possible, it’s raining season here in iceland and the board is my main commuter

Im not on Trampa hate train, love your products, love the Wand. My board is 90% from you. But this anserw makes me cringe a little. No sugestion about covering electronics or adding some rubber seal. Just put your hand in a bag… And what if I drop and want to not break my wrist because it stuck in a bag. Or grab something while on stop without constantly puting bag on and off, or maybe… just maybe do not look silly?
P. S. Can some good soul give me a hint what is the best solution to cover electronics?
Peace!

It’s what I do when I’m caught in the rain. Usually I avoid to ride in the rain. It can happen that it starts to rain mid ride and in that case I have a bag for my Monsterbox, similar to a rucksack rain cover and a stach bag for my hand.
However, I’ll upload a 3D printable for the Wand soon. Something giving the remote a very good water-resistance level.

Just get one from flipsky and upgrade it with a VESC, works perfectly. Just note that it has no connector so you need to solder to the programming pads on the flipsky module.
First time holding a wand in my hand (not mine), the aluminum metal touch feels really premium. The screen looks really nice and the throttle feels really smooth. There is a bit more “wiggle” on the throttle compared to my other remotes, but if there isn’t all those disconnection theories, I would have definitively thought to get one aswell!
So is there still no way to flash the wand or receiver without a Vesc6?
