When you did the test at around minute 4:45, it looked like pressure was only needed on one side to activate. Is that true? Does it not require sensing both sides in order to activate, like the stock sensor?
@@MaxxSend Couldn’t agree more. That one was for my wife. Really nice to be able to cut them up to accommodate an odd stance or a foot hook. Hope you get many miles out of it, enjoy dude!
Thanks for this- super helpful as a reference (and for comparison to check if I eff up. Lol). What clear grip tape did you end up using? Is it course or more like regular skateboard with a fine texture? Thanks!
You're welcome! Hopefully it helps with better installs for everyone else. I used MOB skateboard grip with fine grain for trickin, but an even better option is perforated clear grip to help avoid air bubbles! Also don't preheat the grip before install like I did, when it's cold it'll be more firm and bridge better, and help avoid the wrinkle fold at the bottom.

@@MaxxSend Oh, it's already helped me so I'm sure many others will benefit from it. Appreciate your thoughts, insight, and demo! Also for the grip tape info. Suepr helpful as well!
thanks bro! I wouldn't do heavy drops/tricks without a metal plate underneath, unless you use the wooden pad with the exile sensor. But for mellow street riding it hasn't been an issue. But I believe Greg may be working on some custom metal plates..
It looks like an overall good product. And I'm happy to see more aftermarket sensors. Cause there are not much options out there. But I'm wondering why they made the cuts between the areas straight and not curved like on the Floatwheel sensor. It seems like Floatwheel are the only ones who made that geometrical conversion correctly. ("3d concave footpad to 2d flat sensor" calculation) In practice it propably won't make a huge difference as a concaved pad is still pretty flat. But I appreciate the bit of extra effort that Floatwheel puts into such details.
Actually, that geometry accomplishes nothing special. As the gradients and curve within the concave are gradual. Not to mention, the oscillating reliefs within the sensors shape having an oscillation for one footpad may not be agreeable with another. As a result the best course of action was to make straight lines in order to best negotiate all forms for use. Tony’s original footpads had straight lines. He then made them oscillate likely to depart further from FMs form.
@@Exile-exe maybe I got it wrong, but a 3d concave pad is not like a sphere. I’s a side2side concave and a front2back concave that are comming together somehow. This curved lines are just the logical result of it as far as I understand it
@@Eryktion as I said above. Curves offer conformity for precise dimensions. I was determined to offer a ubiquitous fit for all footpads. So I could not be so precise in order to achieve this. So straight lines allow for more generalization and conformity for varying dimension.
@@Exile-exe yeah, I see that FW's sensor only has to fit that one pad and yours is meant to be uinversal. But for a flat pad it doesn't matter if the lines are straight or curved. For a double concaved pad on the other hand it might matter a bit. So even without knowing the exact geometry, I think curved cuts could be slightly better overall. But as I said it propably won't make a huge difference in the end.
Interesting point about straight vs curved cuts. I can see how curved could possibly mold better for concave, but the straight cuts on the Exile along with the moving panels settles perfectly into the concave with no wrinkles. Thanks for ur input🤙🏻
The horseshoe method definitely works well. I just shouldn't have preheated the grip tape cuz it made it more soft n flexible. A cold grip would've helped it stay bridged better and then avoid the wrinkle fold at the bottom. Learn from my oversights!
@@MaxxSend no activation with shoes on until I added gripples. Greg is aware and should be updating the listing and fixing the design in future production. No dots on the pint sensor.
There are no DDots on the pint. This was a production oversight on my part and will be corrected. On the pints page in the description it is noted that foam grip on pint sensor, may have connection issues. However, regular grip functions as well as the XR/GT versions.
yea I didn't have a metal plate option, but I think it's advisable if you go heavy on the riding. But for mellow street riding I think it's all good, I'll be riding without a plate. For trails and heavy tricks, I'l be using the exile sensor on a wooden pad in the meantime. I believe Greg is working on some metal plate options, stay tuned.. 🥸

My exile should be arriving here anytime now. I’m moding it to fit footholds can’t wait to test it
Should be a fun surgery project! Enjoy the sensor 🎶
Do another interview with Tony!
Best sensor out there 💪
@@beastcoastrepairs with the detection dots, it hands down is the best for concave pads. Love how u cut yours up!

Looks like an awesome alternative for the stock sensors! Curious how it holds up. Looking forward to the basher test. 🙃
yea bro finally a fulyl customizable and cuttable sensor for concave pads! Will ride it to the maxx 😎
All beta and test units that were installed properly are still performing and in use today, 2 yrs later.
Das klingt ja echt gut. Endlich mal was sinnvolles!
Danke! Ja, eine echte innovation für die DIY Gemeinschaft ✊🏻
Wouldn't it make more sense to line up the grip tape just at the top, then work your way down the middle and out to prevent air bubbles?
Nope.
Trust me, I built the thing.

PINT VERSION DOES NOT WORK WITH FOAM GRIP TAPE
oh didn't know that, it should be listed in the disclaimers. Even with the D dots, what ends up happening, no activation?
@@MaxxSend no activation with shoes on until I added gripples. Greg is aware and should be updating the listing and fixing the design in future production.

Shame to see you get that crease in the grip tape because you were too busy talking. That could have been avoided.
Looks like a great sensor.
Looks like no metal plate needed under the pad. I was told I needed one.
It is recommended to take the pressure off of your controller box. There's a higher chance a hard drop may damage your controller without it.

@@Electronic4081 fair point, a metal plate should be used if you do heavy riding. Greg is working on something, stay tuned!
@@MaxxSend awesome I’m exited to see what Greg comes up with! My Exile sensor is being delivered any day now and can’t wait to try it out!
