What grinds your esk8 gears?

I need screws (for now) to keep them in place

Just in case anyone is wondering, the bolts on the Flipsky Mini FSESC 4.20 are actually made out of ABS.

Damn they really cut corners on the screws ?
Can’t even justify spending 2¢ on pot metal screws :man_facepalming:

Being told with total confidence that Neoboxes are good thing and ready to ship that was nearly 3 months ago. Every now and and then looking at the official thread on here some advising patients and others affirming it’s all normal. Then I leave it for a couple of weeks and it’s a total shit show. Like a stock market crash and I’m left to vent a little bit here FML. PayPal dispute it is. FARK I don’t have money to burn on this shit. Well I guess I do really I have been a lot poorer in my life but you know… Fark. Got any tips on a legit substitute for the substitute that it was.

The JST connector “standard” on vescs and other esk8 stuff… it is not a great connector for a high vibration environment. I’m sure there are alternatives out there that would be better suited for our application but sadly I feel like its too late.

I cry every time I connect one and feel how loose they are seated. Big sad :frowning:

I do too, but then I go right over the top of all of it with thicc acrylic so that none of it will ever move … or be reused

Today’s shit list is brought to you by the Letters “F” and “U” & MFing Onewheelerz they think electric skateboards are too pedestrian. They normally have beards and drink a 16 dollar xpa at the bar. More and more of them on the big group rides. They can’t keep up and they are constantly stopping when one eats shit. I dream of a ride where I am not reminded that Darwin was right. /rant>

Sign up for Solidworks pain : doing a flat stick, realizing it might bend under load, doing walls on it for easy layering, realizing the edges might still bend, building more walls, being half satisfied with the result after 1h of tinkering.
Realizing suddenly that the stick is too narrow to be functional & need restart from scratch.
It’s now 3am here.

Seriously? They look like tools to me. Two pulled up to the greenway while I was stopped talking to my daughter. Asked them how fast they went. Couldn’t help but chuckle when they said 15mph. My daughter blurts out, “Why so slow? I can run that fast.” One asked her and she said.”only 25mph but dad goes 40 every day.” Had to give her a hug next time we stopped.

Forgot what was grinding my gears.

My daughters Boosted’s Bluetooth has 3-5X the range of me metr pro small antennae. She’s damn near out of sight when it drops from my phone. The metr disconnects 15-20ft.

I just had a fucking child on his balance bike intentionally ride in front of me. There was no way to stop that quickly so i went on the grass with my hub board. After coming to a stop i looked back he just was laughing/smiling at me. The mother of course didn’t say a thing.

I would loved to smack that child in hindsight or give it a little wack on the helmet
