Mr. Avidan you are the most surprising,, wonderful Artist!!! You truly are unique. What an awesome performance!!! 🙂🧡🙃 Gratefull. Sincere loving embraces ✨🖤🤍✨
just installed my gtv drop in this week, new to vesc and have wtf low riders but enjoying it so far!!! Working on the tilt, tried following @surfdado short on wtf rails for gtv drop in but think might be for standards but the defaults for IMU pitch rotation were so low on the default gtv config and for my low riders the setting is tricky to balance fully but soooo much better than FM stock, i can now kills steep offroad hills and cruising speeds are way better. Just learning the ins and outs now and tail drag some but have confidence i'll figure that out soon
IMPORTANT UPDATES: 1. Tony recommends to attach the bluetooth antenna to the transparent plastic cover of the controller box, on the vertical wall that passes the status LEDs light. It's a great location, so install it there and not where I placed in in my video (attached to the controller adapting metal plate). I had a lot of disconnections of the app in the original location and after moving it to where Tony recommends - it works great! 2. The final kit comes with Tony's replacement BMS. I recommend using it if you want a drop in replacement and to avoid any hassle, risk or soldering. 3. There is an option to use the original BMS, but it requires soldering of a bidge between the XT60 power connectors and you must do it while connected to the battery, because when you disconnect it from the battery the BMS bricks (you will need to recalibrate it with a stock controller that has an old firmware, prior to the haptic buzz). Also note that if your stock controller was in charge to 90% mode, the BMS will be stuck in this mode and will not balance the battery cells. Bottom line: it is possible to use the original BMS but it is complicated and risky. Though I did it for a while, I recommend avoiding it. 4. If you upgrade your battery, get a new BMS. The ZBMS from Zbattery Solutions or Flipsky 4S BMS is a great alternative charge-only BMS that can support larger batterries. Tony's BMS only supports up to 18s batteries. 5. The final kit also comes with replacement headlights LED bars for front and back, it's an easy drop in replacement - one screw holds the bars in place and one connector to attach. On the front (controller box) you'll need to use a new longer cable that comes with the kit to connect the bar to the small board with the status LEDs (the original cable is too short). And you should connect the data cable that is routed towards the battery box to a connector on the same small board, next to the power switch connector. On the back (battery box) its a straight forward replacement - install the LEDs bar instead of the original one and connect same connector that was connected to the original bar. Simple. Works great, with ability to change the lighting level by double pressing the GT power button.
There’s also a Floatwheel’s video that Tony made on the installation of the full kit - controller, BMS and headlights. No soldering required, it’s all plug&play
It came pre-tuned and behaved nicely out of the box, not sure if it is Nico’s or Float default. Most of the initial tests were done with Float default tune and later I switched to VESCmann Allround Float tune.
Logic is telling me that the Floatwheel V1 crushes the GTV and the V2 Floatwheel should leave everything aside a VOM in the dust. But shit, I still want this.
As I answered to another comment - it’s definitely subjective but we let the GT owner try them (not the GTV or GTS owners) and he felt the GTS was struggling more - haptic buzz and all. It wasn’t a significant difference in any case!
The GTS did not struggle at all lmao. In fact, I prefer the GTS because it seems faster to me and has more torque. But that just my take on it. I love my SSeries. Anyways great video
That was the rider’s experience. It was the GT owner that tested it (not the GTV nor GTS owner to reduce bias). The haptic buzz kicked in. But it wasn’t a significant difference. It wasn’t a scientific test as well. About speed - GTV is definitely faster. I got to 47kph easily on GTV, while the official GTS top speed is 40kph. One can push through the pushback and haptic buzz and may get above 47kph, but it’s scary and I wouldn’t do it (look for the GTS top speed nose dive if you didn’t watch it yet). The audio warnings on duty cycle etc. on the VESC give me confidence to do it on the GTV. Saying all that - riding on GTS is definitely a great experience. Great power and flow. I don’t think I managed to reach the same level of flow experience on GTV. Hopefully I will manage to find the right tune eventually, but FM definitely does a great job tuning the Onewheel.
I'm assuming this replaces the controller, does it also replace the BMS??? Just curious with one of these for the GT or Pint if it allows you to replace the battery yourself.
@@Kay0BotGreat, yeah just saw Tony's installation video on it replacing both controller and BMS. I figured replacing the controller would also require the BMS to be replaced as well but wasn't 100% sure (this is my other account).
so what habbits and practivces change with charging on this BMS? is there still an way to limit the charging to 90% ? do you need to be cautious with leaving the charger connected over night?
Agree. People report improvement of ~10°C/50°F. I ordered a set myself. But I was positively surprised from the results without them - I had to push the motor to the limit on purpose to get it to heat up. On actual rides it didn’t go above 65°C/150°F, which is reasonable
What's the difference between replacing the bms with Tony's vs bridging the plugs by soldering with the stock bms? Thanks for this informative edit! 💪🏼
@@barrymonteiro8893 soldering is harder to do especially if you don't have the tools and supplies because the kit doesn't include a soldering iron. When the kit comes with the BMS then its a complete kit!
@@barrymonteiro8893you need to solder the bridge on the stock BMS when connected to the battery - requires experience and courage. If you disconnect the BMS from the battery it bricks and you will need a stock controller with old firmware (pre haptic buzz) to unbrick the BMS using the nRF recalibration method. And also note that if your stock GT was configured to charge to 90% the BMS will be stuck in this mode and won’t charge above 90%, and also not balance the cells. That what happened to me, so I replaced it with Tony’s BMS. As it comes in the kit today for a reasonable overall price - no brainer IMO.
As written towards the end of- similar range. On easy riding it is 11-12Wh/km, which will give more than 40km/25miles on a stock battery, which is equivalent to stock GT range. If you push it it will of course drop the range. See my numeric report here: www.reddit.com/r/FloatwheelTeam/s/eELAAthgo1
Agree, that's what it's specifically designed. Also seemed like the GTS got up the 1st hill the same as the gtv. Only difference was tiny haptic buzz that's obviously removed on the vesc. Boards are very capable with the right riders.
