@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.

@Lemur said :

... , 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 :

• Whenever (and if ever) XR and VEXR version pops up -- please people update this topic ASAP.

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?

Thanks for addition, @Lia! I had totally forgotten XR have this extra pin & black wire on main connector pinout, although I now recognised this valuable post by @Lemur from back then.
knocking my head against the wall for not using "Search" bar

@Lia said :

... The original Plus bumpers before the XR style ones don't appear to work. When I try to add those to my cart the page errors. ...

How did it go, @Lia ? Did you forfeit the idea adding Plus bumpers to your cart or you reached out to FM and got those listed eventually?

EDIT:

Hey,
Now that FM are selling parts and luckly the cable harness (w/ decent price!) being among the other stuff, I'm putting together the list.

But first -- I'd like to study known info about those on picture. A while ago I saw some people a little bit discussing over 'white locking clip' vs 'red locking clip' version in some context. But unfortunately I didn't bookmarked the hyperlink back then and now I don't remember if it was reddit or FB or what ...
@Lemur @biell @Lia @S.Leon and all the amazing DIYers 'n modders over the forum who have opened up multiple boards with various revisions -- What you got to share about these three cable harnesses ??

• Any comparisions on overall length?
• Any notes on 'rigidness VS flexibility' aspects?
• Any build quality nuances and moddability?

Obviously I am asking these Q's due to BTG or "BeastWheel" build
[ no, I'm not starting.. got most of stuff for quite a while actually ]
Just that I don't wanna experiment if my harness is fine enough or I would have to mod it on fly. For were I am at, getting stuff during the project is rather no-go scenario. Bob's Stoke Shop discontinued their EXTENDED harness a long ago and for now I am wondering if FM's (probably the latest revision of) 'red locking clip' version is fine for being donor or I'd rather look out for second hand Plus cable harness because those -might- be a little longer than any make of XR cable harness versions out there.
[ For once again: Were I am located .. any FB Marketplace deal and receiving a spare cable harness right the other ~week is no option. So I better prefer to have everything upfront. ]
Thanks!

@Franko & @NotSure I saw that too.
And to be fairly honest - my first thought was: Why is FM contradicting themselves on their statements??
At first Adam says: "... this will probably never happen again ... " and then in comments they reply:
@Franko said :

"... but depending on how it goes and how useful folks find it, we could certainly see a Pint program in the future."

It haunted me till now when suddenly realized why I like BLACK so much in here.
-- You heard of why fat people wear black clothes? - Yes!
Whenever GT first made into public, prof. Jake Leary criticised it for fat rails and bulky looks in so many reasons. (I agreed all those hands down.) Aside of aspects from practical considerations, one was just the looks.

And yes .. one does not need to be obsessed in black tone in general ... black just makes GT / GT-S look pleasantly slimming.

Not gonna lie, flexy fender top gives Slushy looks to it. :}
Clean build!
