@lia Just a way to document it for myself and others!

@lemur Oh that's pretty cool!

@s-leon said in OW Plus CnR:

And @Lia has been patiently riding and waiting for her restoration to the XR Daystreak Leaderboard

I said I'd be back and I'm keeping to that promise :)
That said I'm probably going to visit @cheppy44 some time next year so it might end unless I bring Slush's controller with me and find an XR frame to drop her into.

@lemur Holy shit that thing looks like a monster

That's cool looking!

wait what

There's aftermarket motors now?

My wallet might become a bit lighter and my XR a bit heavier

Nothing looks better (nor presumably work better) than @Lemur's actual oil-seal inlaid into his GTXR conversion end plate >in THIS topic<!
That been said - if one is not necessarily dirt-surfing or enjoying salty beach rides - 3D-printed stuff likely will do a thing or two better in maintaining than no cover at all.

@loaffette I wish! The hack requires setting the BOOT1 pin high. And either by accident or forethought, Future Motion grounded that pin underneath the chip.

You have to physically disconnect it from that ground to load the firmware dumping exploit into SRAM. Sadly, we haven't found a way around that.

Now if the Bluetooth chip on the controller, the OTA mechanisms, or one of the other peripherals have access to the memory of the STM32, then we have a chance. But all of that kind of stuff is way above my head too.

I was only able to do this hack because there was a research paper documenting this exploit and someone had already tried it on the Onewheel.

@s-leon Actually, you give me another idea, but ill have to test it out later when I get an XR

@s-leon I'll take a look, but yeah, I know how it feels to get blinded Don't give a child a super bright flashlight on camp outs, your retinas will thank you

I wasn't actually thinking about blinding people I hope so, though
I had an idea at midnight and I kinda went on an unhinged.. idk, rant about how it could work and we got the very colorful language, so uhh.. sorry!

@loaffette -- A Hoosier 5.5 treaded is ballsy and tippy -- which I enjoy. The T2 and Burris are comfortable. Stock Vegas are square -- but I have ridden two to threads. Part of the nimbleness may be firmware, because my V1 in Extreme is much more responsive to ride than my Plus or the OneDanXR in Mission or Delirium. VESC looks like it can be tuned to preferred responsiveness.

@lemur just my brain struggling to understand. apologies for my uninvited remarks..

@biell I understand. It sucks to make compromises sometimes. I got fed up with that hence mostly ride vesc now. Except when wet/rain, then i grab the over-badgered XR. But also working on getting the vesc winterproof which possibly will make FM totally obsolete.

Just make sure you keep an eye on that capacitor closest to the handle. Also make some testrides now and monitor/screenshot the controller temperatures.
After the mod make the same rides again under similar circumstances and compare the temperatures to see if there's significant (5+ degC) difference. Thicker thermal pads reduce transfer dramatically. I wish you all the luck and hope this will make your board ride amazing again!

@blkdout said in New Tire Day Projects:

They said a slick is coming!

i would like a drifting slick... one that could reliably give me that elastic sliding feeling. i dunno if thats either a super hard or super soft compound, but if i could drift around a turn or two at 16 mph in a fun but controllable manner, id dig it!

Nate Fordged has done a quick video showing off BadgerSense Ft. Matt from TireSire.
Kinda like how compact the little HUD unit is.

@lia thanks for the info! this is a different battery though.

@lia Ater a 5 km ride, there was no noticeable increase in torque or getting up to speed other than the placeablo effect when I first got on the board. If the magnets are stronger, I didn't feel it, so no magic performance trick here for me. The 6.5 " Endouro had the wobblies for the first few kms then settled down, perhaps from being new.

@lia I was just reading about that patch, that is so exciting! A lot of info above my pay grade for now, but time to learn.

@biell The Plus wires are thicker than the XR , I built a harness from scratch with 28 gauge wires and that's what I had.
The wires conduct very low amperage and mostly carry data except for the light bar wires.

@lia said in XR footpads into GT rails:

@ed_co Has anyone managed to come close to fitting 20s2p into an XR battery pack, especially 21700?
That pack would probably have to be longer than the stock pack or taller like it is in the GT.

@Lia, I think I have an idea. Can we talk about it?
