More than just laser-etched S/N on rails matching to controller S/N ... don't they look after all the stickers and embedded labels all over other parts to verify it's the actual complete board? Not the one built to be appearing as 'complete' but broken. Following out of curiosity ...
@LOAFFETTE Sorry for your experience! I know I'm bad at creating new topics instead of bumping the old ones. If the forum ever has one alike.
But on that particular case I thought the thrill about video ~3 years back adds some context to it. Because its "FM x TFL" discussion point. Interestingly enough Bodhy have swiched sides in meanwhile. Yet we still haven't seen Tech-Rails, Craft&Ride, Land-Surf and many other 3rd parties even slightly featured in FM's social media as TFL now has repeatedly been.
Kind of feels fitting to this old topic. Although this one is not official collab or whatsoever.
I were browsing this past newsletter by 'Onewheel HQ' and one odd fact caught my eye. One of their latest Instagram videos (also YT short) is featuring heavily modified XR for showing off onewheel capabilities on winter shredding. Basically this board is about ~75% of TFL's aftermarket parts in appearance. And just a motor hub their own.
I always had a hunch someone on FM marketing department takes good care of not letting any other aftermarket parts slip into their own social media. Or .. at least .. not to stay on focus for an undeservedly long time. Either it being their YT podcasts, short vids, IG clips, newsletter thumbnails etc.
(With really the only exeption being "FIRST FRIDAYS" hosted by Bodhy, where sometimes unedited videoclips sent by riders are presented.)
-- What you guys are thinking? Is this a slight move towards building bridges? Or FM just letting loose some of their fundamental approaches on marketing?

Welcome to fam!

... material people use on surfboards/paddle boards for the Onewheel grip? That rubber diamond shaped traction pad type thing?
Sounds familiar to EvoGRIP™ Diamond Stud ?
StickyFeet -- they've been trending throughout various media platforms lately. Somewhat 'next level' new solution after numerous dif griptapes, foam-pads etc.
(No personal experience, tho.)
I tend to not declare my intentions & major plans way too outright. Because when I do so, the next moment all book of Murphy's Laws occur full scale. And eventually I'd be in urge to knock my head against the wall so hard that I'd stay unconscius till it's the next time to share out 'new years promises'.
( chill! ... no major injuries ... just figuratively speaking )
Happy floaty new year everyone!
There's never too much time spent with your loved ones!
@Puzz360 Congratulations!
Could you share some wider context please?
-Mostly the same XR all over? Or by multiple boards on same account? Assuming the app and board always up to date? Any regrets or some notable concessions in favour to all those badges?
@silversurfer Agreed!
As for the nose and tail different angles paired with different drop/rise .. I also see more in common with 'Lightning Rails' and 'X10 Rails', .. rather than og WTF's or 'Dub Tails'.
Great viewing materials!
Looks like Onewheel barrow has some sort of physical switches or pressure sensors under either of handles. I'm taking a raw guess someone's DIY 'counterfeit' prototype featured gyros only plus some sort of on/off. Cannot find a link anymore to examine.
Awesome!
If Bodhi does not reflect some bit of it in next 'FIRST FRIDAYS' episode, then I really don't know what does!
@Lia Congratulations on big attention your project well worth gained!
Please, could you share us some closer insight of those impressions by Future Motion comrades?

Well put together, @NotSure
When this newsletter notification popped up on phone first, I was like "Meh?!?.. what's so special about it?". Later on all that 6.5 inch thing came to mind again. Meanwhile I had forgotten it for good.
Where are those overheating issue claims now??
But afterall .. it's still a good thing in it's odd way.

... , but I believe each color runs at a different voltage.
I will find out and let you know.
I'm also curious and following this.
I had never figured one day FM on their official channel would show step-by-step opening up guide down to bare PCB.
But still ... they sooo quickly slip over barely mentioning 'Service & Registration -> Battery Validation' part of the video. One can wonder why.
@yommoto
[Not a GT/GT-S rider in person, but] AFAIK there is (still) no nRF digi-tilt capability for those boards after recent major update. FM prevented this for GT/GT-S platform, so ppl would forcefully "enjoy" their 'Custom Shaping 3.0' feature instead of angled aftermarket rails (or both together). And this is also why TFL came up with 'Dub Tails' design for this target group -- so at least rear half end of the board remains W-shaped.
Correct me if I am wrong at some point.
I don't know if it's cross-posted on Discord groups or reddit .. hence tossing it over here.
Those of with bunchload of time & skill put the base idea of FM April's fool joke into real prototype. Hoping FB enables to see video content anyhow.

Who said one wheeled devices must have self-balancing feature?
This boy is so going viral right now.
I get headache trying to understand how that's even possible.
Congratulations @HanahsDax ! True commitment at its best!
Umm... sorry, too little info.
Precisely, which of messages you wanna get rid of?
What is the state of your board and app? One of them updated? Both?
Might want to work through our >Haptic Buzz< topic here. Still jammed after that - feel free asking away.
Note for future :
Fancy glowing and LED-illuminated stuff has been made prior to this TFL's counterpart as well, ... but I really like 'Braking Effect' feature in it.
@Lia said :
... mountain of charge plug protectors, ...
LOL!
Do you occasionally mount them on door stoppers or what?
