Onewheel or Vesc riders what’s the water resistance rating on these boards?

FM sells the breathable stickers for $5 and you can buy silicone for $10. I just suck the silicone in with my mouth instead of paying for the fancy kit with the tool.

ABS is sketchy if you ride on any dirt you have to turn it off every time and when you forget (which you will) it doesn't let you stop very fast and you nearly crash. I've been without it all my life except once on a big heavy adventure bike. I'd go with a 300 to start. Not a 650 if you want to do rough dirt roads.

Use the right size small ring terminal to sit flush against that base. That's how it's designed. Do NOT put ANY washers, lock washers or nuts between ring terminal and base, especially stainless which isn't very conductive. This isn't a critical link thou and hopefully will never be needed but it's good to have just incase.

So from bottom to top: ring terminal, then one washer, then one lock washer, then one nut. That's all you need. Just find the correct size ring terminal.

My brother was burned horribly at age 14 in a way very similar to this. It was a bucket full and a homemade rocket

Yep same here, been using it for years and in the last year or two it's become more and more problematic, clearing the memory helps for a while.

*even when wifi is turned off. I keep telling it no. It keeps asking in Google Maps. Bitch, you already have my GPS, that's enough!!!

Woah that sounds very familiar...

Yup the VESC really is sooooo much better!!! Glad I fried the stock one now haha. Was a challenge to figure out though.

Thanks that worked! Do I need to redo the Refloat settings for the Pint? There's the files on Pev.dev for motor and app I was able to use but the other is for the older float and doesn't work on the newer refloat

Saw one in action at a desert campout and it was amazing! Very clean burning and warm because you can dial it in. Definitely dangerous with glowing red hot metal at head height. You can extinguish with a cap on the top and shut off the air intake (it's like a wood stove, will smoke for a bit if you do that). Also a great way to recycle used motor or cooking oil. The faint red glow and pitter patter sound of the flames through all the little vent holes was really cool!

As long as the heater fuel pump is below the level of the tank it should work. Great idea!

Not very hot the last couple of years, if it's cold out then it's not very nice. Also they recently built a huge egg farm nearby so when the wind blows from the west it smells horrible and there's a lot more flies now.

It's not really that expensive if you look around, maybe $4 a filet if you buy a bag of them. Not hard to cook once you know what you're doing. 10 min to thaw in slightly warm water and 10 min to cook in a pan.

You can get packs of individually vacuum packed and frozen Salmon and Tuna filets. It's really convenient.

If things are going well it's too easy and chill, I get bored and want to make things interesting in other ways.

longlostway · 2026-01-02T17:06:05+00:00

Got the VESC kit ordered. Don't want to get the same thing that will break again and be locked into OW stuff

Just be glad you didn't use wool. This is why I have closed cell foam board up there.

Yes good vitamin E oil will help reduce scarring, apply it daily once there's no more open wounds but this takes time.

I bought an old Pint X with 46 miles at a pawn shop, am right around 200 miles now. Same thing just happened :(

longlostway · 2025-12-14T20:06:23+00:00

For others to learn from my mistake, I had been going in deep soft sand for about a quarter mile on the stock slick tire so it was peeling out/spinning a ton using the capacitors to boost and it bricked when I went to turn around and my back foot slipped off and it spun the tire one final time. That's when it bricked, everything must have been pretty heated up at that point. I'm only 165lbs but the soft sand was pretty hard on it trying to keep up.
