- The reason I say "as far as we can tell" its the controller is because I dont have the replacement yet. I'm basically certain from my testing and confirming with the retailer, but until I get I new one I cant be 100%.
I have the new controller board installed and the wheel is working again!
Awesome, been looking everywhere for someone with the same problem I’m having with my master, now that I know what’s wrong hopefully mine gets rolling again
@@jasonvandenberg9055 Hi lol I just checked your channel and saw your video. Are you under warranty or do you have to buy one yourself? If you are going to buy one straight up, check out ewheels, they had some in stock when I was searching.
@@jasonvandenberg9055 @jason vandenberg Oh I should mention you'd have to email their customer support and ask them to invoice you a board. They should be able to help you. Hopefully you're under warranty somewhere though because its a few hundred bucks.
Yeah, it was under warranty, I only had the thing for a day when it happened. I got it from free motion shop. They ordered a new controller board right away. I actually used your video to show them what the problem is. They said they will get it to me as quickly as they can. I appreciate the help. I was straight up heartbroken when the thing crapped out.
@@jasonvandenberg9055 Awesome glad you're getting it taken care of! Hopefully they can it get to you fast. If you have any questions when installing it feel free to reach out. I recorded myself installing it but I still suck at editing and having a hard time making a coherent video out of it..... 😅
Thank you for reminding me to baby my wheel. These wheels are not durable at all despite spending enough to buy a car. Took mine to a skatepark yesterday and decided to chill out after a few runs up and down some ramps.
For instance, the tail light costs $50 but it's on $3 of material.
That is true, but Im not spending $3k just to baby it. And my taillight was broken right out of the shipping box lol. Retailer sent me a new one. If you buy with a warranty you trust then its not so bad. But you're right they are fragile. Without the clarkpad system I wouldn't even ride my wheel with the batteries exposed like that. Think of it like a glass cannon in video games. Its a beast until it gets hit 😆
When you find a good used car for 3500 bucks let me know.
@@CrunchyTire 100% Glass cannon.
I think It’s because you went up stairs
Yes that is what caused it but these wheels can handle that, it is not too much for the master. You can put way more load on the motor doing heavy off road riding. What likely happened was there was a weaker component on my board and this exposed it. Better here than doing high speed down the street.
Hi was the wheel charging when it happened? I have same symptoms but mine is not charging on top of this so wondering if this is expected.
The controller board died riding the wheel on a staircase, and I never tried to charge it again with the failing controller. It wouldn't surprise me if the wheel wont charge when the controller board is failing.. But I cant say for certain.
@@CrunchyTire Thanks! I really appreciate quick response! My board died when trying to get on a curb at zero speeds, pretty disappointing. Have you tried stairs again eversince swapping the boards or its a no no for this wheel/board combination? Dont feel like swapping the boards again in the future as a result of stairs/curb
@@kostya862003 Sorry to hear about your master. Im going to avoid riding up stairs on any wheels after this. Going up a single curb or riding down stairs shouldn't cause that to happen for you... I bought a second controller board to have on hand just in case it dies again. There are a lot of people with dead controller boards on their masters so it does seem like something else is going on with these wheels.
Why do all these new wheels have so many problems?
Hard to say, Lots of reasons probably. But whether its the S22, The Master, or whatever new wheel you get, It will some of the best miles you've ridden on an EUC before it goes down. 😆 . Was it worth it? Yes, yes it was.. The biggest downside is just the wait for the retailer to get my part shipped from china. Taking it apart and learning about how it works is interesting to me. If you aren't buying from a US retailer with warranty, I would absolutely advise against any new wheel. Thanks for the comment!😀
@Begodecrashtestdummy Yeah thats true. The master pro is great. I'll be considering it when Im ready to buy a long range wheel next summer.. I have a Molicel RS HT coming from ewheels tomorrow. 😃 I bought a new tire for my master too. Shinko 244. I like the stock tire but I figured its a great time to do it since Im not riding the master now anyway.
@Begodecrashtestdummy West Coast, Oregon.
It's all a crap shoot it seems.
@Begodecrashtestdummy I will have two C-186s in a couple of days. They are virtually new. I am swapping them out for incoming tires about to arrive. I live in connecticut, if you are still interested in these let me know before I put them on ebay.
