@lemur I guess, there's kinda two topics going on in this thread...
The purpose and main one being, that I want to get the community that's on the GT, "off the X" and so that at a consumer level there's a fix to the footpads, and don't worry about ghosting. Basically a bottom up approach at trying to get FM to fix or design a better front footpad unit.
And the other being that to me the OW as platform, while it revolves around FM isn't one I want to support going forward even as a Vesc conversion; as I'm sinking more money into an existing FM based product. A Vesc build that's independent of FM may be plausible down the line, as a new build/project.
But I feel that it'll always remain handicapped by form factor. As I don't see how it will be possible to reach higher voltages without increasing the size of the footpads, and their thickness; without drastically altering how the board feels, without corrections through rail shape/geometry.
