Dang you’ve just had the worst of luck! :frowning: So far the worst that’s happened to me is my controller got switched on by accident and the battery went below safe lipo discharge voltage because I had no protection circuit. Entirely on me of course, rather annoyed at myself :stuck_out_tongue:

I really hope you find some more success after all you’ve gone through so far! That board looks pretty sick though, love the purple grip.

I kinda want to get the bumper guards for my board. Grip tape sucks on pennys. Any recommendations? My board is sexier now but I took it on the naked bike ride and got body painted and it got on the board.

That looks like a great travel board! I’d say go with the paint thing and make it look like a tie-die thing on the grip

They are zombie hawgs wheels. They are awesome. I love the snazzy patterns on penny boards though

So… I finally got the mount to fit the new motor but it’s not spinning. It’s not doing anything when I hit the trigger. It worked before I got it on the motor mount… Somebody shoot me…

Is the new mount significantly thinner than the old one? It could be that one of your screws is reaching the stator and shorting a coil. If that’s the case the fix is to get shorter screws or cut/sand your short

No, I realized it’s the controller settings. I started the wizard and it started spazzing. But the motor does work. Just can’t get it to work with the controller. I had to go but I’ll try more stuff with it later

Ok, so now my controller isn’t working. It powers on but it won’t bind to the transmitter. I’ve changed the batteries and tried on 2 different transmitters. So then I took out the old big one and it bonded but it’s got so many settings on it that I’m not sure how to get it to work normal. It was spazzing out the motor and I redid the settings multiple times until I gave up. Why would the controller randomly stop working right? It worked when I was testing it in the street, I packed it up and tried it the next day and it wasn’t connecting. I thought it might be the motor but motor detection was fine. Ugh…

Not sure if this will suit your needs but it’s quite durable, at www.hi5ber.com

It’s metal lined

Still can’t get either remote to move the board. I can use the arrow keys in the vesc tool to properly control the motor but not with the remote. Any specific settings I should check?

So here’s “Pain” with everything working but the remote. So close. I really wanted to joyride for my birthday. Oh well.

I’d do that. Is it with the receiver too?

Free is better than not free so I think I’d like to take @BigBoyToys up on his offer. Thanks though. Everywhere I was looking had either too high price or too long to ship. I’ve dumped way too much money into this board
