My first ride on a VESC onewheel.. Did I finally turn to the dark side?

- I've been very comfortable on my FM machines for a couple of years now and I really like the option to be able to switch riding modes on the fly. But since the update of FM I haven't been able to use my onewheel app at all. So gone are the days of easily changing riding modes. About time for a change that will allow me a lot more flexibility.. my first ride on a VESC onewheel. Did I finally turn to the dark side?

Don’t know if someone told you but surf dado has some amazing videos on setting up vesc and using his app. Best way to learn in my opinion, also if it’s any consolation, I’m 158 miles into my first vesc (Thor 300) and I set it up with surfdados videos and have had only one problem which was the footpad sensor lol but I posi’d it and haven’t had any cutouts or nosedives since! And I ride pretty aggressively through trails, regularly hitting 90+ duty cycle but knowing when I’m spiking into that range I think has kept me from going down. Good luck, welcome to vesc :)
Thanks for the heads up mate! Surfdado’s videos are definitely helpful in setting up and understanding the vesc stuff. Cutouts have been fixed and learning every day. 🤙
I just got my Thor300+ME4T Pack XR finished a little over a week ago and it was definitely the way to go for my style of riding. Welcome to the "dark side" of OneWheel 😈
That’s awesome mate! This vesc stuff is quite the journey. Have fun and be safe!! 🤙
15:20 I can't believe how cleanly you got out of there? Nice.
The Hoosier treaded tire definitely helps in these muddy conditions. Gotta keep that VESC power in check in the muddy patches though. The extra torque gets tends to spin that tire even harder.
Welcome to the Darkside 😈💜
It's quite the journey 👾
Amazing Vesc test!!! 🤙
And I also hear this high frequency noise which drive me nuts! 🤪
Thaha. I hope there’s a fix for that 🫣 driving me nuts as well 🤪💨
Not 100% sure but i think it’s when the bluetooth loses connection
@@Floating_Jaffa that would be the duduteduntun sound. There's also a high pitch tone coming from the motor or controller.. It's really loud on my machine.
@@VinieVizzleVlog That could be the Zero Vector Frequency, if you have the Vesc Tool app, it's a setting in Motor Cfg > FOC > Advanced (if I remember correctly). It's usually around 25-30 kHz, higher values can reduce that high pitch sound, but above let's say 35 it can get dangerous, so best to stay below 30. On my floatwheel, even changing from 28 to 29 makes a big difference.
@aeraglyx thanks for the info mate! I’ll definitely check that out 🤙
Great vid Vinie! I’ve been enjoying the latest GT update, but the idea of VESCing my board and unlocking more potential is super intriguing. As you said, all of the little details and tweaks you can make are awesome, but at the same time making the wrong adjustment and getting thrown off puts me off a bit 😅
I’m sure I’ll eventually make my way over to the dark side haha
Keep shredding, my friend! 🤙🏻
I can fully relate to that! I’ve always been an observer. Once I’ve gathered enough information about something new the curiosity takes over and I go for it. My curiosity got the upper hand so I’m finally comfortable enough to start fiddling around with these VESC machines. Stoked about this new chapter! 🤙
@@VinieVizzleVlog stoked to see where this journey takes you too!
Nice bro!!! 🔥🔥🔥 I hope to be joining the drakside soon myself. I've been waiting over two months now for the builder to finish it 🤪🙈🙄
Hope you get to experience the force soon my man!! 🦾
VESC BABY
Give me your board and phone, Adrian and me will make a beast out of it
Oew yeah! The last update already made it slightly faster but still riding at the limits 😅
Battery upgrade time 😬💸
@@Floating_Jaffa definitely the next upgrade! ❤🔥
Dude! You might ponder a Euc as it would likely be much more stable. Thanks for sharing and the very best of luck!
Thanks mate! Have tried an EUC and since I’ve been riding boards sideways for 25+ years it kinda feels awkward to move forward as such speeds.. 😅
95% should be the theoretical max before nosedive. Note that spikes in duty cycle will be called out. so if you hit a root and the board briefly uses max power that will be recorded as 95%. To gain a better picture, I recommend turning your phone on, recording your screen, and then slowly and evenly speeding up. When you’re done, you can review your screen recording to figure out what duty cycle, you are at various cruising speeds.
Also, consider enabling haptic buzz if you want real time alerts of you being above 80% (the actual percentage is configurable, of course) duty cycle. The feedback from buzz is instant, unlike the vocalized alerts. That should also give you a sense of if your duty cycle alarms are for spikes or sustained output. The haptic buzz could last as short as half a second for a spike, so it is very informative and instant feedback.
I do find that my VESC is more power hungry than a FM board. My Pint X, which should get 16 miles on a stock battery, gets only 12-13, even if riding conservatively. Also, I actually max out my speed sooner - 16-17mph (27km) rather than 19-20 (32km). So investing in a good battery is more important. The low-end torque is much higher than an FM board, though!
Congrats on the VESC! I love mine more and more each time I ride it, and I can’t go back to FM!
Thanks for the extensive explanation! Already was able to tweak some settings that give me some more wiggle room. The screen recording seems like a good way to get an idea of the stats. Trying to look at your phone while touching the limits is a dangerous situation 😅 I’ll definitely give that a try to see where I’m at currently. 🤙
What’s your field weakening set at?
You know where to find us if you have any questions ❤
Thanks mate! It's still sinking in. Deep diving into the video stuff.. 😅
11:02 just bluetooth connection lost sound
Thanks for clarifying that mate! Seems to get lost quite some times 😆
loads of fun but also ffm
Duty cycle 95 is the max you can get before nose diving. So something must be wrong with your setup when you get 97 and your still riding
I guess I was lucky to ride it out. I am maxing out on 42km/h on a stock XR without having nosedives so hitting that duty cycle at 30 really surprised me.
Not sure who set up his board, but they probably raised the max Duty Cycle to 96 or 97%, have seen a couple guys out there do that
@nicoaleman thanks for clarifying that Nico. Hit that 97% on a straight line without bonks or drop while gradually speeding up. ERPM value was set around 11000. Have increased it to 100000 now and I have more wiggle room while gradually accelerating but still have the peaks while playing. Feels a lot safer now.
I got rid of the high pitch noise by turning field weakening to 0
Gotta try that to see if makes a difference! Thanks for the heads up 🙏
Welcome to the bright side 😎 EU is VESC territory
VESC family 🫶
honestly 97% dc should be nose down already
I believe there should be some more margin on that battery but still running duty cycle 95% at 32kn/h..
@VinieVizzleVlog Duty Cycle can spike around a lot at the top end, especially under torque at speed like offroad or if you jam on the nose quickly. Alerts like that are probably from quick spikes, or from free spin off bonks and what not
Is it possible to diagnose which cell is defective and change it out?
good rider 🎉 pickin up my 1st GT-Vesc toDAY 🫠🙃 "don't want any Maxx episodes" 😄 more vids please!
Thanks mate! Enjoy that GT-V 🔥 you’re in for a treat 🤩 trying do keep those weekly video uploads going. More vesc stuff coming soon! 🤙
I like your amethyst
Good to keep that 🧘🏾 vibe in traffic 😉
There is a mission clone
Yes. Heard about that. Definitely need to check that tune! 🤙
the sensor issue can be changed to posi mode and it alleviates that issue..
@@dbirds21 got it in posi now and way better 👌
surfdado will sort you out on the settings....
@@dbirds21 he’s the man! 🫶
I just switched my stock gt to a thor 300 with wtf rails and 5 inch hub and its so much better for power, tuning and safety. Future motion is dangerous. vesc all day long 365 days a year..
@@dbirds21 oew yeah. When it comes to safety VESC is the way. I still rock my stock XR for tricks but when I want to fly the VESC is my ride of choice. 🤙
