To start, this boars is damned weird to ride, not bad, just vastly different from the 40im deck with AT’s I’ve been riding for the last few months. It’s tons of fun, but I feel a little like I’m drunk with so little real estate to plant my feet on. @treenutter has spoiled me with the Caldera drop deck .
The bindings are going to take some getting used to. Getting my front foot in position to kick then slide in the bindings is a little weird but I’ll get it in a couple of days. You wanna be locked in and able to.pop the entire deck? Get some. https://store.freebord.com/s2-bindings/
I’ll post an actual build sheet and more pics when I get some free time or home.
The reason I named it color blind is the silver deck, green wheels, red volt meter, etc.
The eBay controller is actually pretty damned good… surprisingly. The acceleration is as smooth as a VESC but the brakes are a little squirrely. I like being able to see the battery status with the remote. The remote itself, while it looks similar to the nano-remote, doesn’t suffer the same dropout issues and has a little better tactile response.
No clue if it’ll actually last more than a day, but I’ll post if it doesn’t.
Similar thoughts here with my eBay esc- buttery smooth acceleration in beginner mode (literally from a standstill or with slight rollback) and zero dropouts or other issues thus far with the remote. I’m running the dual version with Carvon v2’s and the only problematic area seems to be the brakes. If you slowly apply the brakes until the thumb trigger’s fully down, the force seems to stay constant (i.e. quite light) for 3-5 seconds until it suddenly increases and fully stops the board. It’s not jerky or anything, just a bit unexpected. In my experience, I’d recommend keep the remote on beginner mode; top speed appears to be quite similar, but the acceleration and breaking are vastly improved
I have a few 10s3p 30Q packs with built in 60a BMS, eSwitch, and battery indicator. Let me know if your interested. I need to get rid of a few to fund a project…
