      Yep feels kinda ironic that they followed us on parts choice and calling us kncok off, especially that floatwheel is like almost 2x more powerful than their flagship models. I think, the world is big enough for both companies, there's no need to kill eachother.

    @surfdado 6 หลายเดือนก่อน +44

    I normally avoid extra long videos but for you I made an exception 😂 - One detail you didn’t touch on is motor heat and the curved magnets. The one thing that impressed me the most about the GTS is its thermal performance. Both the motor and the controller just do not get hot! The Hypercore was notorious for overheating but suddenly with the GTS it was a cool as the CannonCore- and the controller was even cooler than the best custom VESCs! No idea how they achieved it, but they did!

    • @sdmods619

    • @roy326
      @roy326 6 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I hope this catches Tony's eyes. It seems we're discussing two key points. Firstly, higher voltage leads to less heat generation, and secondly, the impact of curved magnets on heat reduction. From a basic physics standpoint, when comparing two motors of equal power but with differing voltages, the motor with the higher voltage tends to generate less heat. Perhaps Tony could conduct an experiment to explore the effects of heat generation between using curved magnets and increasing voltage. It may be more advantageous to go towards a higher voltage than to go with a curved magnet.

    Jo Tony, as flawless as usuell! Constantly hammering on FW heads, so maybe they wake up one day. you may consider me as beta tester for the v2 electronics. Keep in mind I still run v1 motor as my board is #37. I can run full battery runs on my giant dyno and monitor all temperatures and cells until we hit the bottom line of the packs, or burn something that should not burn. It is just a different way of dyno the board with your and my dyno. Ypurs is more precise on the torque and mine can do endurance on any load. No risk on dyno testing for no one. With the breaks attached to the prop fan, I can apply loads on the fly, simulating inclines of any degree and lenght (no potholes 😂). Cant wait to see 8000w on the dyno !!

One of the reasons many of us like the Pint is that it can be taken on most airplanes, at least in the US. If you made a Pint battery that was split into 2 or even 3 parts under 160wh each, we could continue to take them on airplanes.

    The nose scraping behavior is common to all FM boards, same happens on Pint and OW Plus. Has nothing to do with turntilt - on a VESC you can disable turntilt entirely and you won't get this behavior, unless you have a poorly calibrated accelerometer. So it does feels like some kind of IMU accelerometer calibration thing. It's definitely one of the biggest mysteries of FM firmware behavior to me. How hard can it be to keep the board level when turning?? Nobody has ever put forward a viable theory as to why they did it. It must be deliberate, this can't be an accident - but I have no idea why that is.

    The GTS is very good for what it is, which is a tweaked and tuned GT. I'm very happy with mine since I just wanted a lighter weight and slightly and more powerful GT. I don't think FM was trying to fool anyone in thinking the GTS is the next huge release. They literally said it is a tuned GT for racers and those that just want the most out of what the GT platform can offer. Now if you want (or I want down the road) the next leap forward for this type of PEV, the ADV is the obvious choice. It's really awesome what you're doing Tony and I'm stoked so see what Floatwheel comes out with next!

    Hello Tony!
    Are you able to tell if the V2 electronics for the ADV will come with a redesigned front and rear box? I will soon receive my ADV and I want to badger it, but if the V2 electroncics come with new boxes, I will only do the full process on the new boxes when they come out. Thank you for the awesome work!

      sadly still requires crypto. but shipping would be easier and faster for the drop in controller. around 7days to every corner of earth.

    I love the idea of you developing a 1p lightweight boardin a XR format. Is there anyway you can do a 30s1p? that would offer more range and allow for a increased speed without field weakening......

    @VOW is working on a swapable battery system. What are your thoughts on the idea of charging batteries externally like Milwaukee, then dropping them in your board just before your commute or trail ride?
    I would rather carry a spare battery instead of a charger.

    • @floatwheel
      @floatwheel  6 หลายเดือนก่อน +4

      good thoughts, cause the new battery will be around 2kg, so it makes sense to carry a spare instead of a big charger. I will see what I can do about it.
