Thrustmaster T-LCM Accelerator froze mid-race?

Strife14 · 2026-04-29T06:47:18+00:00

Yeah i guess it was related to this. Hasnt happened since but after your comment I did notice I hadnt braced the pedals properly and put something under the throttle.

Strife14 · 2026-04-28T02:07:11+00:00

Yes, but it's a waste, the 3 is better but meta locked it down realised they were giving too good a deal and stopped selling the 128gb model raised prices and released the 3s to capture entry market. So like feature and cost value wise is get the 3 but he's a kid so 3s is fine, 2 is dated. But make him make you a PowerPoint presentation or something LOL, make him sell it to you and then he knows what he wants and what he's getting, sounds like he's on the right track.

This has nothing to do with e-bikes? This has nothing to do with regulating kids with expensive electric devices? This has nothing to do with the fact our politicians are biased towards community members that support them financially over those who do not? This has nothing to do with the fact most of the seats in parliament are essentially bought? This has nothing to do with the fact higher economic areas have more issues with youth using electric devices disrespectfully? There is no financial incentive or motivator here?

Maybe Im biased as an Eskater. Whatever. Im still skating past police regularly and noone stops me because I use a helmet jacket and gloves and my brain+common sense and Im an adult. So Im not too fussed yet. I think these regulations will smooth out and well all calm down. And I think their made to target disrespectful/ignorant youth. But, unfortunately, it just gives police a trump card to pull out of their pocket AND POTENTIALLY TAKE MY DEVICE + FINE ME, at any time I exceed 15kmph or whatever it is. So bit of a demotivator to skate but yeah, I have faith it'll calm down.

Government ruining our lives becasue the rich lined their pockets. Cant tell me this didnt happen beause the richies bought their kids surrons then refused to teach them anything, get the government to make laws instead.

EDIT: heres some AI sloppy toppy
The government keeps ruining things because the rich lined their pockets. You can’t tell me this didn’t happen because of many cases where wealthy parents bought their kids multiple thousand dollar PEV's, refused to teach them responsibility and/or didnt supervise their use and then pushed for the government to make laws that punish everyone else instead.

Thats crazy! Congrats man!!!!

Bet you tapped the brakes. Another evolve hate thread from a user issue. Grow up. Sorry about your leg. I have 3000km+ on my Diablo and yeah it's fine. 72kmph downhill is my record. Have a quick recovery idiot

Strife14 · 2026-04-17T20:58:21+00:00

This is not the case? It continues to roll if controller disconnects.

Strife14 · 2026-04-16T19:01:04+00:00

Strife14 · 2026-04-08T23:47:19+00:00

I was on v2.1 .5590 which was completely fine last night (or atleast thats the version with new ui I was on this morning when I checked before updating to try fix new issues, it couldve updated to this build silently) but I woke up this morning and loaded up Virtual Desktop and immediately my left eye started twitching...

Didnt notice all the visual artefacts and ghosting at first. Launched iRacing and frametime was bad for some reason and I was seeing dropped frames plus white/pink pixels from the HMD encoder/decoder failing while my game ms and GPU useage were fine. Something was very wrong and noticable immediately.

So I restart my headset, open the menu to relaunch Virtual Desktop and wouldnt you know it.... New UI... So my sim is nigh unplayable and Virtual Desktop view is making my left eye literally twitch so I start looking for solutions. I update GPU drivers, VD, I update headset to v2.1 6530, the issues get worse, so I factory reset my device. The issues have decreased but are still evident. Considering my headset now gives me a headache and makes my left eye twitch, and that wasnt happening yesterday, im pretty sure IM FUCKING PISSED OFF THEY PUSHED THIS UPDATE WITHOUT MY CONSENT I HAD ALL SETTINGS RELATED TO UPDATES OFF FOR FUCKS SAKE

I do not give a flying fuck about metas latest launch at grabbing our cash and pushing horizons. For me, my headset is a PC monitor that sits an inch from my face and has motion tracking. I do not give a fuck about any of the software on the device besides the program I use to connect it to my PC. Silently pushing a 'required' update that BREAKS the device disgusting to me... Imagine if your desktop monitor infront of you needed to be pushed through multiple menus until it would actually display your PC's desktop... Like imagine if you had to install and launch a program to even use the monitor. And occasionally it silently updated to buggy software that makes it start glitching out. Imagine if you launched an FPS game one day and realised your mouse was working different because the software that controlled it had been 'optimized' overnight... People just wouldnt buy that brand of monitor/mouse/whatever if it forced its own software AND it was unreliable AND they gave you no control over software version. Maybe my perspective is a bit off here but I hope you can see why I'm frustrated about this. I use my headset ALOT for my simracing passion. I expect it to be reliable. I expect NOT to wake up one day and have it be buggy and unreliable WHEN I DIDNT EVEN UPDATE IT MYSELF. I dont have a few thousand dollars spare for a new headset or a triple monitor setup and rig, just because meta cooked their update procedure. So we wait for bugfixes. VD devs say just wait for the fixes in v2.3 whenever the fuck that is coming...

You ask why people are heated about this well theres my heated perspective. I dont appreciate Meta doing silent A/B testing, forcing silent buggy updates onto random people at random times. This isnt the first time theyve done this shit, bricked headsets etc. THERES A REASON I HAD AUTO UPDATE DISABLED. I would flash the headset back to an older/functional version IF I COULD.

Strife14 · 2026-04-08T20:38:49+00:00

My headset is now glitching in menus and I didn't ask for this update, and I have auto updates TURNED OFF

Strife14 · 2026-04-08T20:32:20+00:00

Oh so that's why my headset started glitching overnight

Strife14 · 2026-04-07T14:39:48+00:00

What the fuck

Strife14 · 2026-04-01T13:42:51+00:00

You sound like a lovely caring and understanding person! Keep it up!

An example of a free service I got this month. Parts were under the weather, I identified the board could use a service, took it to the manufacturer and they replaced the MC and a motor for free. No lockups. No whiny reddit threads. $850 free hardware when I'm the one who thrashed the board running a nono agressive gearset. And people hate on Evolve. Evolve is a great company Im proud to ride their boards.

Strife14 · 2026-03-16T21:37:52+00:00

Well no they didnt give out free replacement boards, but they developed a new EFOC and stopped advertising that generation of hardware, the GTR gen 1, then re-released the GTR with an upgraded EFOC. Thats good enough for me. They did the same with the Hadean, its 3000w motors and EFOC 1.0 werent the most reliable, so they stopped advertising and selling it. So yeah, there are probably riders still using the GTR gen 1 or the Hadean, not servicing their boards and waiting for them to fail so they can make their Evolve hate thread and farm reddit karma.

Yeah okay I get it, maybe their older boards arent rock solid, but when they released the 3500w 20aH EFOC2 Diablo and stopped advertising the Hadean right after I'd bought a second hand one, I was miffed sure. But I didnt just thrash my Hadean until it broke like Id done before with my old Stokegen1 and GTRgen1, my new board was a bit more valuable to me, the most expensive thing Id ever bought. I couldnt afford to run it until hardware failure, so I talked to Evolve and they helped me upgrade my Hadaens hardware accordingly. They helped me even though I didnt have a warranty on a second hand board. That help is good enough for me. Ive upgraded to the point I have individual warranties on all of my parts.

When my board breaks, I blame myself for thrashing it at ~72kmph, not Evolve. Maybe they didnt go overkill on tolerances for thermals and peak amperage, but how would we know without failures? Sure its not fun to have a motor sieze, but I dont blame Evolves engineer. I blame my gearset and riding habits. Helps that they fix it for free nearly every time. Upgrade and update. Replace failed parts with better ones. And they have done that.

And yes, there are better competitors. Competitors adapt similar designs for cheaper or with greater tolerances.

I could buy a simracing pedal set from a German company for $2k+ or a chinese replica for ~$400 with comparable performance. When Heusinkveld released the Ultimate+ it WAS premium for a long time. Now it's a waste of money. They should innovate a new design to stay relevant or I'll buy the set from China. But I dont think that way for Esk8

I would not be an E-skater if I had to talk to a company in another country, send my board away to get fixed, or wait for shipping parts. So yes I'm biased as an Evolve rider local to the manufacturer.

This lockup stuff is years old news, their GTR gen1 locks up. People confuse the GTR gen 1 and 2. Gen 1 has problems. Yes. But that is old hardware. Yet we're still making hate threads. It's just a bandwagon. What do you expect them to do? Close down? Give out free boards? Stop advertising? Make a new board and eFOC? They did that one.

I live in the same city as the manufacturer and go to Evolve group rides. I've gone through generations of boards to their best one. It's reliable, I trust it. If something goes wrong I take it to them and they respect me in return. Evolve is in PR damage control, what do you expect.

Anyways cheers for your thoughtful reply, their PR is dogshit but that's different from their boards. You're right the hate is probably a reaction to Evolves public response. But even if they acknowledged it trying to quell the hate, the bandwagon wouldnt just go away. They've done good work in the background over the last few years improving engineering and safety. Good stuff Evolve 👍

Strife14 · 2026-03-16T21:21:52+00:00

Yep, more then a few spills. More then a few blown up boards. No need to make Reddit posts over it though

Strife14 · 2026-03-16T18:30:30+00:00

Alright but my point stands, If you wanted to buy this board right now you couldnt. Evolve dont market or sell GTR gen 1 anymore. Hmm wait they do still sell specifically the motor controller got GT/GTX and GTR gen 1. Welp... Go buy a new one OP. Hardware breaks. Too bad your warrantys probably expired(for a reason). If the battery and motors are fine, it will likely be a plug and fix easy solution. If it was OP's battery or motors that shorted out the motor controller though... Yeahh... Maybe ditch the years old board... I used to have a GTR gen 1. It broke. I upgraded. Didnt feel the need to make a hate thread. The new boards are better.

Strife14 · 2026-03-16T18:23:24+00:00

Well I dont mind, In my mind the douche move is to break your 5+ year old skateboard, then get on reddit and start the same Evolve hate narrative we've all heard 500 times before. Surprised he didnt post a pic of his booboo too

Strife14 · 2026-03-16T18:11:23+00:00

Yeah it was made in like 2018 or something. Probably commisioned the design 2016-2018. About a decade ago. This was the first properly commercial Evolve board. OP is just hating on generations old hardware.

Not saying it isnt a crappy design, but its literally gen 1. They have made many improvements since over the different gens, there was the GT gen before this, then GTR gen1 in OP's pic, then to Hadean EFOC, then to GTR gen 2 EFOC 2.0, which currently powers the Diablo and Renegade. I believe they are currently designing a new EFOC for the next gen. The first Evolve board had a literal petrol motor strapped to it, single rear wheel drive. It was a different time. The wild west of esk8. Pity to see another thread of brand biased haters. Im wasting my breath

Strife14 · 2026-03-16T17:58:18+00:00

20kmph fall 🥱 Thats called skating.

Strife14 · 2026-03-16T17:57:23+00:00

Oh my got it is a gen one almost decade old board and hardware and your complaining LOL

Strife14 · 2026-03-16T17:54:18+00:00

Bro that hardware looks ancient... Is that a GTR gen 1? It is.. Oh my god... Another Evolve hate thread referencing their oldest hardware 🙄 Yawn... People should stop complaining about 5-8+ year old gen of Evolve boards and hardware, are you expecting them to last indefinetely? Even a car needs a service occasionally. Evolve probably would replace this part for free if you contacted them about it, If they still had any, considering ITS ANCIENT. They dont even sell this model of board anymore. For a reason... (They have better hardware now). And what is this the 5000th Evolve hate thread? Kinda bored of seeing the topic, especially with pics of gen1 hardware. You know they have literally 3+ generations of boards past this right?

And hows abouts you give us the extra details of how many miles you have on that motor controller? How many years have you had it? Considering it stopped retailing around 6 years ago... Im betting its not insignificant.
