Does it count if I have a single board with full Varials? LOL

I love the swappable geometry and pretty much just change it up depending on my mood. Still not convinced I need a GT yet so I'm sticking with the one board for now until the battery dies. Then it's VESC or whatever else is available when the time comes.

Sick fleet by the way!

@cheppy44 Only for the coolest bf <3

@HanahsDax Thank you ^-^ The boxes were a must, my only regret is not adding more silly in jokes to the other sides. They are re-usable though. Printed shell and foam packing :)

@biell I can't help myself. The smaller the detail the more fun it is to look at. Pictures never do these justice.

Looks like the OW sub reddit is back . . . maybe been a day or two so far, let's see how long it stays up.

@sirgu No problem <3
Hope this makes things better and encouraging to anyone wanting to share Floatwheel stuff ^-^

@lemur That's not a bad idea. could make some fancy aftermarket ones with the mesh patterns in the middle to give some squish.

It goes together like my little XS does come to think of it lol.

@lemur
I will test ride tomorrow if the weather holds.
I thought I would beat FM to a hot rod Pint.IMG_7842[1].PNG

The last 4 months have been a blast, and I crossed the 1,000 mile mark today! I'm still tweaking my config and dealing with overheating when the temperature goes over 90°F and I am pushing the board hard on uphill trails. I've lowered my motor current, my ATR boost, removed my Float Life Savers, installed PubHubs, and removed parts of my rail guards. I'm almost there, afraid I will have to remove the rest of my rail guards.

On a non-heat related note, I really just didn't like the Halo footpads. I'm now using Kush Hi on both front and back and I'm loving that.

@lemur damn, got it
thank you

@fosterqc Omg yes that would be so cool. Would you keep the power side the same for authenticity or make it a sleeper build?

@lemur So far im able to ride 50km in one go (cbxr) without any issues so fatigue is no problem yet. Weirdly enough riding WTF rails in mission (bit nose-down) even increased the comfort level more. But it must be a sweet sensation having an enhanced floaty feeling. I would certainly miss the connection with board and terrain i think. Still will try a suspension board as soon as i get the chance!

@notsure Yes, but that isn't the point. If the AFB even slows down their efforts, it is a win for JohnDeere. And, JohnDeere can always stop selling parts and shift the blame to the AFB, then too. Doing so would shield them from a press nightmare, and possibly pull membership from the AFB; if the AFB is lobbying against JohnDeere, then they want to sap as much membership dues from the AFB as possible.

There are no end-states in corporate mind think, only controlling the speed and/or direction of the proverbial pendulum. If it is shifting against them, slow it down first, then try to change the direction. If it is shift for them, speed it up, unless it looks like its going to change direction, then slow it down.

@lia You could make a new stand/array... more angled to the wall to fit more in the space maybe? Although for EUCs, you'll definitely want them on the ground, as most worthwhile/fun ones start around 60lbs, and then go up... There's one out that's 104lbs (45kg?) but that one (Begode EX20S) is a beast in terms of battery and range.

@s-leon Aha I realised after the fact my pic would be better hidden behind a spoiler :) The owl-skunk images would probably be a perfect use case for it too. Little warning above the spoiler and hide the pics inside sounds good.

Useful feature although it can be a bit janky at times. If it doesn't work make sure there are empty lines above and below the spoiler and it usually works :)

wait what

There's aftermarket motors now?

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

@quicksanddyoung said in Onewheeling in Cold Weather:

I stopped wearing gloves at about 40 degrees, and use wind resistant mittens.

I use em for snowboarding.

@loaffette The only board that I know of where FM guarantees the cell types is the GT-S. So, I would recommend going with someone who advertises the cells anyway, so you know exactly what kind of battery you have.

@loaffette Big oof 😶
Idk. It is priced at what the PintX was so technically still better for the money but I'd still want those little QOL bumps for an S series.

Also that screen snippy you posted shows that bumper edge they mentioned which I couldn't spot on my first viewing. Pretty big so maybe that is for the rail guards like they suggested.

@cw_o Welcome :)

If the price is okay I'd take the risk. Getting actual chips from companies like Mouser, Digikey and LCSC can be pricey once you get to the shipping screen. I've gotten chips from eBay and AliExpress (likely the same source) without many issues for things like IMUs, Mosfets and a handful of logic ICs.
Get multiple though just in case you need to redo it. No more than 5 should be fine. IMU's are fragile so you may need to try a few times.

@sirgu giant railroad spike was funny. im surprised by the dilloz actually chris richardson did a pretty good video about it, but that nail shot was awesome.

@lemur That sounds like this board then, nice work tracking that down.
Edit: As typing this DPD showed up with the parcel, that was dan quick! Will make it’s own thread later and take a look :)

@notsure try again, looks like I only allowed .gif when doing pic links.
