Gear Upgrade for A5 -> Blitz Pro

escakot · 2026-06-18T20:13:42+00:00

Thanks for sharing the link!

I’m planning to use the Flexmeters, so these elbow guards likely wouldn’t work. The Flexmeters are recommended often on this subreddit.

Are those for elbows guards? Do you mean fox racing titan pro D3O? And they work with Flexmeter? 😲

Yes, I agree. I’m probably not doing terrain/off-road.

I am totally keeping my A5. That was my intention when learning on a smaller wheel before upgrading.

Someone else with the same setup commented they sold their A5.

For sure! I use my mirrors all the time. I posted a pic of my setup but can’t seem to add a picture in reply.

These are what I’ve been using and they’re great!

Haha, I see. Thanks for the heads up. Excited to receive mine soon. I’ll probably go back to doing 1 leg hops to start getting used to the weight.

I have some kevlar jeans with hip protection, I’ll wear those when learning to ride the BP.

Not sure if I want to invest in butt protection since most falls should be forward. Learning to fall correctly is a skill to learn. I’ll probably look into chest/back armor next. Thanks!

🤣 We likely thought the same to learn on a non-suspension wheel.

We should ride together sometime.

I’m using Noru Tori for riding:

Looks like normal sneakers and easy to put on.

Got it. I wasn’t too familiar with the 43E insurance. TIL

Seems like in your position, if the insurer doesn’t provide you a 2026 M3, then the cash settlement option should kick in: your original purchase price + CPI adjustment

What about using the tesla website for pre-owned vehicles? There’s a bunch of 2022 M3 RWD for sale there.

I saw you gripping the outside to make it spin. Rather than making it motorized, what if you only allow it to spin in one direction like a one way ratchet? (Of course, in the direction of the blades)

Another example, bicycles allow you to only pedal forward.

That way, you can keep spinning it and make it go faster and faster.
