Pictute of my board on the local UTD campus
Beautiful campus, though the campus life is pretty dead

I saw this today.
I'm not sure if I'm going mad or what but...
damn.

Guess who's back!
so my parents bought me a 18S2P battery from the BoardGarage that runs off of 50s cells. They also got my an accompanying charger and thr XLITE-V3.

Spent all day setting it up, and it works!... after I accidentally plugged it into the stock harnesses reverse polarized connector. Had to replace the XT-60 on both the battery and the harness

gonna rip her around the neighborhood this morning, I'm excited

I'm getting the hang of the art of "going up curbs"
Super excited, just need to get it down and become more consistent

Curbs are no longer a obstacle, only a mere pebble. Next is stairs, then after that. . .

Run

Time for a Onewheel update!

(The school doesn't lock the gate to the track, so I ususally go there at night to ride around. The ground on the track makes my tire act weird, but it is fun acting like your racing other people!)

The onewheel XR has been treating me well so far! It has turned from a cool toy to a tool in my life. My bike I have is good for getting to walmart and such, but bad for getting to classes due to it's footprint and how people congest both the sidewalks and the roads (No, seriously. People just walk in the middle of the street. It's dumb.) and the onewheel, with a massive speed reduction lets me weave past people if I have enough space.

The onewheel currently has stock everything except bumpers, tire (provided by @OneDanGT (Thanks man!)) and rear footpad. Next on the list is life savers for my rims because I ride this thing like a psycho at night or when there's lots of space and I'm going to start to learn tricks. The badger provided by @S-Leon (thanks man!) will be installed this week as well. I will try to design clips to attatch the LED strip to it.

Down the road, I will look into a battery upgrade, and finally either new rails or maybe even a VESC. After that, I'll water proof the board and I should be done with it for a long while!

Also, it's icing outside so that is going to severely limit my riding time. Ice isn't as hard as I thought, but braking with the bumper causes the onewheel to slide, and turning sometimes feels wack.

hehehehhe

Here's a harder one~

@lia The only thing I can really say is that whining doesn't really help anything, and it's better to look on the bright side.

I remember hearing something like it takes more energy to frown than to smile.

But thank you for making the forum in the first place! I wouldn't have a onewheel without you guys!

went on a trip in Colorado, brought Warstick with me

So my mom decided that she wanted a Onewheel so she could ride with me
however, she didn't want to break the bank and wanted something easy, so I helped her find a used Pint.
We got lucky, and found one that had 114 miles at 600 dollars. we got even luckier, as I found out the battery had been replaced right before I picked it off of the guy I bought it off of, so we basically had a steal.

Going to be teaching her how to ride it, but I'm not going to let her near my VESC (Warstick) as it has some problems and I need to fix a couple of things on it

We'll keep it stock, and probably by Christmas depending on how much she uses it, I might give her floatplates and a new tire

@lemur nice
How far do the diodes throw the light? (Basically, could I use with on a street without a handheld light or would I still need one?)

@lemur very interesting
I'll have to look into that option
I remember Wren for CD using a setup like that for his board

Here's a pic of the tire change. You can see how terrible the old motor was (the motor with the purple cable)
I'm not even going to sell the motor. It's got 6k miles, the cable is messed up and the bearings are the same ones from day one. I'm going to bring it to a lecture one day to take it apart for a lab then keep it as a trophy.

The current goal now is to waterproof the board, finish my headlight project and then to give the board a visual overhaul

Got the Superflux on, currently don't have a picture yet
Things to note about installing a superflux-

The thunder tire is literal landfill. Just throw out the tire, it's not worth it. I had my tire for about two days, went on a trail ride and the tire developed a flat. Swapped it out for my old Enduro and it was much better

The male connector has way too much meat on the connector. IT needs to be trimmed because making it fit within the rails is a hassle and a nightmare. They should cut it by about half an inch from the cable in terms of connector for better flexibility. I already know two trail riders local to me who have done this.

The superflux hs HAS SOME GAS
That thing flies like a bat out of hell
It's one hell of a motor, and it was worth every penny

what LEDs are those? on your front controller box?
Also, I'm stupid jealous of your clean wiring. It looks amazing!

@lia

@biell someone is currently looking into it on the Vescify discord
Lemmie grab a screenshot of their current progress

@lia I don't know if you're interested in it, but I have my old XR BMS if you want it
It's a little toasty but it still powers on!

bought a Superflux HS Mk2

Will drop it in soon
Also working on a couple things rn, will keep ya'll posted once I finish it

For a second I thought this was a brand new thread and I saw the FTC shit and I was going "oh fuck" for a solid minute until I saw the dates

I've never had whiplash so hard before
