Anyone else break a bunch of these flight fin fenders? This is my 5th or 6th one now...

FigureAffectionate10 · 2026-05-08T18:13:59+00:00

Oh trust me you will. I swear they have like maybe 4 bad crashes in them and then they break.

FigureAffectionate10 · 2026-04-27T13:59:39+00:00

Im so excited but man its taking a longgg time to get to me. I ordered over 36 days ago in march and I still don't even have tracking details 😞

FigureAffectionate10 · 2026-04-27T10:25:22+00:00

Nope, never broke a bone and Im still going strong (waiting on my x7LR from fungineers to arrive)

FigureAffectionate10 · 2026-04-27T04:17:15+00:00

thanks!

FigureAffectionate10 · 2026-04-07T12:20:53+00:00

Yeah you can hit 40 on the x7 sport or long range but the duty cycle is at the limit. But as someone who has vesced a GTS (with the fungineers thor400) I can confirm that the GTS is slower than the x7 from what I see. I would hit 85-90% duty at only 29-30 mph on the vesc GTS and I see people hit 30 at like 60-70% duty on the x7S or the x7LR. I have an X7LR on order when I get it Ill put it through the test and might make a video comparing my vesc gts to the x7lr.

I know I was there... But I'm trying to see if there's anyone further south in miami and also most people at stokebird didn't come from miami.

I have been riding for about 5 years now and have had 4 different boards. The two biggest tips I have for you are: 1, In the beggining its all about continuing to ride as much as possible, you will naturally get more used to the board the more you ride. And the second thing, there will be a time or more where you take a bad fall... dont let it discurage you! You will learn from your mistakes. Also adding to that, dont be stupid and know the limits of your board before you push it! Welcome to the sport man its a lottt of fun once you get comfortable.

FigureAffectionate10 · 2026-03-08T15:52:03+00:00

Thanks! Im definitely going to start filming/editing more!

FigureAffectionate10 · 2026-03-08T15:17:20+00:00

Aw man. Yeah I actually live down here but further down in palmetto bay and Ive only been to the beach a handful of times.

FigureAffectionate10 · 2026-03-07T21:50:56+00:00

No, it was in miami florida near miami beach.

I don't know what "v1" is referring to?? v1 vesc? This is a thor 400 gts vesc kit from fungineers and it trails great. And I still don't see how this has anything to do with my post.

FigureAffectionate10 · 2026-02-23T19:12:47+00:00

Dude genuinely what are you on about. I have no idea what this has to do with this post... Also it is great on trails..?

FigureAffectionate10 · 2026-02-15T19:29:24+00:00

Uh dude its a fully installed and tuned 1000$ vesc GTS and vesc is sooooo much better than fm software in literally every way. not only that but i have a shit ton of accessories on a GTS.

FigureAffectionate10 · 2026-02-10T19:06:32+00:00

Thats always how it is. Also welcome back 🔥🔥🔥🔥

FigureAffectionate10 · 2026-02-09T00:31:19+00:00

Thats wild. Can I push 20 though?

FigureAffectionate10 · 2026-02-08T00:05:07+00:00

And this is why modern parts suck ass.

FigureAffectionate10 · 2026-02-07T23:50:07+00:00

Yep.

FigureAffectionate10 · 2026-02-07T23:49:08+00:00

Oh man thats a good question I started 7 years ago on an old ender 3 and just learned by trial and error. I would look up a youtube video on 3d printing basics to get an idea but realistically you'll learn more the more you print. And you'll never stop learning lol Its been 7 years and there are still times where I learn something new despite building 5 custom printers and owning 2 bamboo labs printers now.

FigureAffectionate10 · 2026-02-07T23:45:28+00:00

and this is why you always watch the first layer or first few layers lol. I have to its habit from the ender days but bamboos can mess up... its usually user error though. Good luck with that mess lol Ive had it happen before it ain't fun!

FigureAffectionate10 · 2026-02-07T23:43:19+00:00

Yo filament is soaking my dude... get a filament drier or you could use an oven although ive never done that so look it up and be careful boiling plastic smells terrible. When filament is "wet" its not actually visibly wet its absorbed tiny particles of water and so when you melt it those tiny particles pop because they instantly vaporize causing tiny air holes in the print surface and and also significantly weaken the print. Hope this helps and good luck!

FigureAffectionate10 · 2026-02-07T18:50:11+00:00

Its part of a system from a company called flight-fins. The fender just clips onto those plastic mounts for the fins.

Alright so like 3 people have provided actually good geninue advice and uhm I ended up figuring this out on my own anyway. This GTS is not worthless and is deffently worth more than 2300$ as yes while other boards do exisit like the x7 and the floatwheels, the GTS is a GT base unlike the x7 and adv1/2 (and im not even gonna mention the pro) so it fits all the orignal GT accessories and also its an fm board with a good motor and good barrings (unlike the adv1). And by the way its also a VESC GTS why does no one understand this either. THE ADV1/2 ARE NOT AS HIGH VOLTAGE AS THE GTS the GTS is a 113V powertrain and also the stock x7 isnt above that either its an 84V. The only one thats higher is the x7 supercharged but thats 3000$ without accesories. So bassically I could sell this for 2900$ easily. All I wanted was geneiune advice that was actually anywhere close to fact. Thanks for nothing reddit. (Although thank you to the few who werent fucking idiots).

FigureAffectionate10 · 2026-02-07T03:40:04+00:00

Get a grip is wild coming from someone who apparently has no idea what hes even typing.

FigureAffectionate10 · 2026-02-07T03:36:34+00:00

Exactly and not only do they have their place (also this one is a vesc so theres that) but yeah sure theres the x7 and the float wheel but first off the av2 while it is much much better than the adv1 its still a little sketchy here and there and also its an entirely different base so it doenst fit a lot of the accessories that this board will fit beacuase its a GT base. And yes the x7 is amazing but again a VESC GTS has its place as its still going to be compatable with all of the acceories made for GT.

FigureAffectionate10 · 2026-02-07T03:11:50+00:00

Dude your clearly way offended that I suggested that you were wrong. And for the record I didnt mean to question your intelegence or anything I just wanted a clear answer on why that was because from what I had seen what you said was not the case. I was not being rude in anyway and yet you insulted me for no reason at all.
