I had to open up, de-solder and flip a couple wires inside the servo to change the direction. I don't know if I like how twitchy it is in such a small car, but it was a fun upgrade.Mini-B FPV ~ Sidewalk circuit ~ day run/full pack - boom bap soundtrackSmokeeFPV2022-12-05 | Had a nice run today.

More intermittent videos to come as I revive my channel... cheers.R/C car FPV - Gimbal stabilized + rear view. Analog. Testing...SmokeeFPV2022-05-04 | No dvr footage, sorry. I wasn't sure if this would be worth doing, but it is... Big difference from a rigid mount. This setup will evolve in time, DJI goggles, etc. Analog was a cheaper start. So, very much a work in progress. I am not an electrical engineer by any means, better with fabrication. If you have tips, keep that in mind. I will be reviving my channel with new content this summer. Stay tuned.

I rigged up my Runcam2 with elastics to the camera mount it came with but I forgot to change the settings after having it on the R/C car before. It was set at 720 -120fps, next time I fly it will be at 1080 - 60fps. I need more practice and spare batteries.

The riding conditions were a bit harsh. Icy and choppy in the morning, the sun softened some areas as the day went on. No powder in sight.
I was riding a 158 Battaleon Camel Toe. Nick was on a 155 rental board.

The board is a work in progress, one off experiment board, so falls and failures are bound to happen. I think the fall was just from to many hard runs on to hot of a day. It worked fine again later. Might need to address better cooling for the motor controller. No GPS speed, next time. 60+kph (38mph), motorcycle paced.

I did a few laps of the trail and our street that parallels it. Right at the end, a drunken guest of a neighbor throws a chunk of lumber in my path. I jumped off and ran it out, but it is the principle of the thing... Who does that? I am fine and so is the board. The neighbors came and apologized later. All is well. The end.

The board still needs work, but ready enough for test ride.
Lipo batteries (12s) and Ollin Board Co. VESC still need to be covered properly. The chain issues are likely due to a slight misalignment or it might need a spring tensioner. Or both. A work in progress...
