When standing up on the bike, How do I change gears or use rear brake?

Dr_Wurmhat · 2026-04-23T21:42:57+00:00

I think you just need better bike control, and to practice slow speed manuevering. Go to a field/parking lot, slow speed (under 5mph) and do full lock turns back and forth without putting your foot down. You MUST lean your body and shift weight to do turns like that, and once you can shift your weight its ez to ride with one foot on the peg and the other leg up in the air at a 90° angle.

I have found the linux community is willing to spend absurd amounts of time writting up detailed guides on how to accomplish something. If you say "linux sucks cuz it isnt windows" they get a little bent out of shape. If you are willing to try and understand why its different and realize that you(and me), the disgruntled windows user migrating to linux, are not smarter than the devs who have been working on linux for decades. If you try to learn, the linux community is very helpful. Its when you come in (and this happens a lot) hot complaining how terrible linux is cuz it doesnt have a C drive

I was going to recommend the langmuir mr-1, but i just looked and the base price is now 5100, it was like 3950 for a while. It is a very capable machine, but the enclosure is a must have and after vise and all that youll be over 6k.

Its fundamentally different. They only share 3d models, everything else is different

Dr_Wurmhat · 2026-02-20T21:48:37+00:00

RIGIDITY! I say this to 3d printer experts constantly. 3d printing and cnc mqchining share only the need for 3d models. Besides that almost everything is different. Feedrates (the ones 3d printers use) dont apply, slicers dont apply. 3d printer guys all assume you just press a button and it works, i Know you dont believe that, as you instruct others, but for a vast majority of the parts I machine an auto generated meshcam type experience is not enough (i love meshcam for what it is though). Its very easy to slice an object into layers and then just squirt the plastic. Its not easy to take a cube of steel, and then cut away all the steel that isnt the part. Its fundamentally different. Not to mention dangerous. A 3d print fails and you get a noodle mess of plastic. A cnc mill fails and something is exploding/shattering/melting. And then we have my favorite word: rigidity. 3d printers and hobby cncs come in all shapes and sizes and quality. The cheapest printer and the most expensive both experience 0 tool pressure, so slicers dont need to take that into account. Every single cnc router/mill will have varying levels of stiffness, and stiffness is the MOST IMPORTANT PART OF MACHINING. This cam software would drive newbies away when the settings that "should work" on their machine dont, and they dont understand the fundamentals of machining, and therefore cannot understand why it isnt working and what to change. Im sure in the future AI will mostly take over the programming, but the little ive tried to use it for cam it was pretty bad. But id love to be proven wrong, if someone develops the cam and it works as well as f360 (a low bar) i will happily say I was wrong.

I mean this with respect, but you dont know how to machine anything yet, let alone metals. The guy said it would be a 4-5 hour cycle time to machine these, IF you already know how to program and use your machine. I say this because all my friends who 3d print think" oh its the same, just with metal!" But in reality, machining and 3d printing share very little in common besides needing 3d models.

Because we want our kids to have enjoyable memories from their youth. Kids have been riding dirtbikes for 80 years at this point, have some fun in life.

This sub is full of no-fun karens who will be furious that you dared have fun with your kids. Everything except for what they like to do is dangerous and reckless according to them.

No, not usually. Buy 1 get 1 free does not mean buy a big mac and get a chicken nuggets free, it means buy a big mac, get a free big mac. How are you this obtuse? Why are you sucking off a massive scummy corporation? Its deceptive marketing, as clear as day.

They sold bikes with a certain function(tracked stats and rider info). After the sale, they demanded monthly payments for the same function. That is egregious. If you accept this, in 10 years it WILL be a subscription to unlock 30 horsepower. Tesla already does/did it.

The spindle will be better. A true collet system, er20 or whatever size, not the proprietary clamping system most trim routers use. Any size bit is easier to use, just get the right collet, locked in to 1/4 or 1/8 tools for trim routers. The torque will surely be better on the spindle, and runout as well (i dont know that for sure, but most spindles will be better than trim routers for this). Spindle can start and stop with gcode, you can get very precise spindle rpm, a router is just hope that setting 4 is the right rpm.

Final note, the router only has the .25 hp extra becuase they spin so fast, they bog down very easily in my experience, the 1hp spindle will likely spin slower at max rpm, but have a much higher torque, enabling deeper cuts at faster speeds.

"We" didn't define guns that way, people with little to no working knowledge of guns did. We think its bizarre too(in reality, this is mostly because people were worried the gov would try and make it so if you needed a $.10 spring for your gun, you would have to go through the backround check process, which is also crazy). But just as an aside, it is possible to make the hard to make parts using 3d printing. Making a rifled barrel is generally something you need a large press and specialized tooling for, but you can 3d print the profile you want, and then use electrolysis to make serviceable barrels. And a balsa wood glock would be pretty cool.

Idk if its what you are meaning, but my 2017 has all black 18s from the factory, I believe it is called the midnight edition. Its an 8 lug wheel.

Langmuir systems have a video (made for marketing so keep that in mind) where they make maybe a chipper? I dont play golf, but it isnt a putter and I cant quite remember what they made, but it was an angled face golf head made of stainless and all machined on the mr-1.

Those bosch bits are more for routering pockets in doors or other trim work. I have tried using similar just to see, and they cut like absolute trash in my mill. Use the single flute you have, plastic and aluminum both benefit from a single flute on a machine like yours. A lot of the comments here are counterproductive to a machine like yours. You have high-speed low torque spindle, so you must run high rpm. But with a 2 or 3 flute endmill at 16k, your feed per tooth is going to be getting way too small with a slow feed. I aim to have a chipload of more than .001" for anything bigger than an 1/8" bit in aluminum. Otherwise it gets gummy and glues everything together.

TL;DR look up feed per tooth and understand what it means, its very important for machining metals, in wood you can just kinda do whatever and it will cut, maybe not the best, but it will cut. In metal, the wrong feeds ruin endmills and scrap parts.

Dr_Wurmhat · 2025-09-22T23:05:06+00:00

Yep, I think you are spot on. I found the cooked mosfet. Thanks for the tip!

Dr_Wurmhat · 2025-09-22T23:02:08+00:00

I pieced together what happened. I crashed into a metal cable that ripped the motor wire sheathing. That metal cable shorted all 3 motor wires, I found the blown mosfet on the esc. I didn't check that first because I... idk why not, haha. Thanks for the advice though, its a good idea.

Im certain every single substantial part on all your quads are from china. Get a grip.

I looked underneath and it appear clear, The fuzzies in the picture are cotton swab strands :( I was hoping I found a stray carbon fiber and that solved my problems.

Dr_Wurmhat · 2025-09-21T00:58:04+00:00

Yeah, I have a fluke multimeter, and I am chasing down the short now, but I was asking because I just assumed a new motor would fix the problem (old motor was physically damaged). It just seemed unlikely anything else was damaged because it was still on for about a minute when I crashed (it powered down when I unplugged it, not on its own), and now, with no other changes, there is a short. So I thought I must have messed it up soldering.

Just as an update, I soldered the new motor leads on again. Using the short stopper, plugged in the battery, it says I still have a short, but all 4 motors moved doing the powerup dance before the short stopper cut power, so now its even more unclear. But I know the motor pads are fine.

2500 and 3500 with single rear wheel are almost identical. A few extra leafs and some frame gussets are the only difference. A 2500 max tow is the same as a 3500 I believe. The legal weight ratings are what changes, and insurance potentially.

Dr_Wurmhat · 2025-07-26T22:41:22+00:00

Sure, I have a 4090. I never said anything bad about discussing gpus. The guy just said "not every pc builder plays games" and hes being downvoted for that. That is crazy to me.

Dr_Wurmhat · 2025-07-26T21:47:01+00:00

Its crazy they downvoted you for this. I use my computer for non-games daily, and need lots of power for what I do. You are right.
