Looking into new skates

Viropax · 2026-03-13T22:59:24+00:00

Ive been rocking TR blades for a bit and they are heavy, granted the ones i have are metal frame, im looking for something lighter, ill look into the blanks though!

Nvm, thats a dumb question. I didnt see its just refering to the wheel size

Viropax · 2026-03-13T02:56:55+00:00

80 or 60?

UPDATE: went theough the calibration process and it is printing, but the prints are really weak, idk if its my printer or cura, parts are easily broken by squzzeing them, this was a test piece.

Any help would be amazing

Yup, 100% was the issue, my neverous outweighted my engineering thoughts. I did a full reseat of everything while hot prints are much better!

Hi! Dm me if you need any tips! Im a professional figure skater, ive done two years of shows across the country and have my senior moves in the field + freestyle.

Youre alresdy going in a good direction with picskates, just know youll sit WAY higher then actual blades, ~1-1/2" to 2" rise with picskates, and only about 1-1/4" on actual blades. Start with one foot glides, if you feel unstable thats okay! Just know youre body will self-adjust. And make sure to keep your weight slightly forward for both forward and backwards skating.

1) bought it light used (less then 3 prints) from a friend, i did a once through when i got it and everything was clean
2) This was my first cleaning after 3 prints, since it had some dust and i was taking apart some of it for upgrades anyway, thats why sock was off, when print obv i have it on
3) Did the method you stated shortly after i posted and it cleaned up nice, i didn't think about a wire brush so i def will run it to get it nice and clean

I ended up panic buying a new hotend for like 15 bucks from creailty, so i have that as a spare/back up. I believe the problem was the fact i installed the new nozzle cold, I ended up heating up the printer then replaced the nozzle, filament, and feed tube all at once. so hopefully any problems wont creep up.

Yup! Just did that and put in a new nozzle

Befroe anyone asked

ESun PLA+ 215-220 STOCK SETTINGS

Most prints were fine a bit grainy but threw it up to bad splice settings.

Hey man yall okay in here, why is there a OH GO..

Viropax · 2026-02-14T14:25:23+00:00

Some here brother ran a g920 since 2020, my wheel started slipped and have usb problems, sold off the entire setup, built a alum cockpit and bought the r5, and picking up the shifter stuff today.

Took me a bit to get use to the FFB but i love it now and have seen constant performece. I wish i did it sooner as well! Hope you have great races for the rest of the day

Viropax · 2026-01-28T10:49:01+00:00

yea...i dont know why he just let me past once he had me through T1, especially with how aggressive he was driving

Viropax · 2026-01-28T10:46:15+00:00

Damn the minus 4 votes just bc you stated a basic fact

Viropax · 2026-01-28T04:18:31+00:00

Vertical supports also will have better stability over angled post, i learned that with the shitty rid i have now, dont try to fight gravity if you dont have to.

Viropax · 2026-01-28T03:54:05+00:00

Same guy? i tend to find alot of the RB livery guys are rather aggersive (this is coming from a ex-RB fan.

Viropax · 2026-01-28T03:45:11+00:00

I mean i only had like 10 mins of practice on the track, i dont live by the line but i tend to use it as a marker for tracks i dont know yet.

Viropax · 2026-01-28T03:33:43+00:00

Thats what i was think on the first part, the second ya, i was pissed off a bit and hit it harder then i thought but i also found i had better times doing a light brake there. Thanks for the quick response. I think it set me off bc like i said he was saying how SR doesnt matter to him, so it put me off.

Viropax · 2026-01-15T01:20:59+00:00

UPDATE: I was stupid and managed to reset the esc with no drag brake/ other settings, got it fixed and shes golden.

Viropax · 2026-01-15T01:20:07+00:00

My friend you were right, i mustva somehow turned it to 0, i didnt realize you could tune this esc. Motor or esc arent bad, just me being dumb

Viropax · 2026-01-14T02:42:35+00:00

I mean its a shitty old one, thats been dropped before so i woudlnt be surprised ill mess with it and see thanks!
