I’m getting to the point now that I’ve got that many VX1 remotes lying round, for some reason I didn’t bother labelling them and just left them with the board they are for, the problem is the kids like playing with them for some reason and I’ve ended up losing track of which is paired with which board and then when out for a ride finding there not charged after a few ks of riding)
They are all labeled now.
I just plasti-dipped my puck case. The texture feels great. Not the most permanent, but it was cheap. Flex seal rubberized coating spray is much better quality and also comes in colors. Point being, just spray em each a different color.
Its easier to go down in series than it is to go up.
Its just a matter of bridging the balance pins together to go down in series and then software change as well.
To go up in series is a little trickier cos you need to unbridge the pins and also add more balance wires to the harness
I’m jet to go past 12s yet but have been toying of going 14s6p with my endeavour Pro.
I got another one. So, imagine a one wheel, but with 2 skinnier wheels, and the ability to detect side to side lean as well as front to back. When you lean towards a side, the wheel on that side gets a boost in power and the other side loses some. If the max range of lean is high enough, perhaps at max lean it would tank turn.
Note: I’ve never ridden a onewheel and have no idea how turning on one works or feels.
There’s a motorcycle like that, called the Uno.
Is that it’s name? I’ve always just called it the chocobo 
Apparently? It’s a blast from the past.
But also isn’t that concept basically a Segway/hoverboard with wheels on the inside?
so basically torque vectoring
i sometimes wonder if its possible for vesc fw to do such a thing, since in a car torque vectoring can initiate from the steering wheel turning, but on esk8 we turn by leaning to one side 
Id think, in this case at least, you could do it pretty simply with 2 single vescs run by arduinos hooked up to imu’s or some such, but I’m really not that savvy on that kind of stuff.
Mooch(I think it was mooch anyways) brought up how leaning into your turn kind of negates torque vectoring. Inverting the lean controls would feel weird, but the weight distribution would be better, and if it was just the footpads that lean that shouldn’t matter.
Decks that allow for warping to turn easier, kinda like a ripstik except with return to center and regular trucks. The thought is better tunability of front and rear steering with your feet as you could adjust lean on each truck independently. For example on higher speeds you could force the rear truck turn the other direction to crab and have better stability similar to modern car implementations of 4 wheel steering, but no clue how it would work in practice.
I approve pre-emptively of this idea.
Ha! I was thinking more of a traditional deck but laid up in a way that allows for torsional flex, but a tube with an adjustable spring might be a better solution. I was looking at compliant mechanisms, and I had seen some prototype trucks using that principle, maybe a deck might be easier.
You could cut a deck in half and use a few parts to mount an RKP truck in the middle to get that idea with adjustment.
Cut deck in half and bolt together with central large bearings and… I’m stupid how do you put springs on a circle? 8 circular springs to adjust tension on said contraption. I’ll napkin doodle when less busy…
Could do something like a torsion spring, and have each end attached to one part of the deck. There’s dampers you could use as well for that.
Otherwise you could do a flat leaf spring on both sides to connect the two halves independent of the tube in the middle. That should let it twist, yet stay flat when no pressure is being applied.
That would turn the opposite way that you were leaning
Good eye, I meant to edit that but my phone died or something
