Rob's assistant, that new guy in the camo, he cracks me up. You guys should totally put him in more videos!

"is that something that I do" haha, I love it I gotta put that one in the repertoire. Robert is a cutie pieeee I live in Oregon so I really needed this video, thanks!

@evrettej 3 месяца назад

Wow that looked alot easier than I thought. For some reason I thought you had to seal the whole board, well not the entire thing but most of it. Good to know it's just the electrical components.🤙🏾

When are we going to see bang bumpers for the GT?!?!?!? Love you guys and your content!

@ErrinLyons Год назад

What up fam? Might have to do the waterproofing at some point. Thanks for the dope video breaking it all down!

@stespin 10 месяцев назад

To be honest I've always went out in heavy rain, puddles, deep puddles, never had an issue with water at all, the only "extra" I have on my Pint is the power connector cap. It would be really really really interesting if you did a waterproofing video on something like the GT40 battery..... 😁

@ryleyisakson6445 Год назад

Sick!! Not as tough as I thought.

@raymondburkitt2636 Год назад

Awesome, this looks super simple! The kit is already so inexpensive, but will FloatLife sell vents and/or syringes separately in the future (probably not even worth the shipping?)?

@TheFloatLife Год назад

With just that kind of sealing, how much waterproofing di i get, heavy rain, pond, pool, river?

@morpheuskane 8 месяцев назад

Do you have a store where you sell these?? Do they have a conflict with the onewheel app that indicates battery level??

@loui828 Год назад

i just did the onewheel xr with TFL kit, i know there's another video from 1wheelparts but it'd be nice if you could add levels or make another video with your kit since it's kind of different, the liquid silicone didn't have a label and there are additional parts that i've no idea what they're meant for lol.

What about waterproofing around the LED light bars? Recommended or Not? The lenses are only mounted with a double sided tape gasket which is only water resistant. Thanks.

Hey TFL, awesome vid! Weird question, how do you use those two DJI mics so close together without them picking up the other person? Your setup sounds great! Much love.

@TheFloatLife Год назад

Shoot man, I guess the directional on them is legit!

@TheFloatLife Год назад

Also, we run them in separate channel mode, so one is Left Channel, and the other is right. Makes editing it easier when there is bleed over - Julian

Would it be recommended to do this as soon as you purchase your board before it gets dirty from usage?

That sure would make things easier

does this voids the warranty?

@heiser_bill Год назад

Are the bearing protectors needed too?

@TheFloatLife Год назад

Depends on where you ride, but it doesn’t hurt!

@LastZacNA Год назад

In a Q&A with some of the float life guys a while back they mentioned that they don't waterproof their boards due to it only lasting a month, and the silicone makes it hard to repair the board later on if there are any problems with the board. Is that true? Would love to know how long the waterproofing is supposed to last. Thanks guys, love the videos.

@fixmypev Год назад

Based on experience, this is more of an issue with older model boards. The GT process is way easier/quicker and you can still get into the controller without having to ruin the silicone. As long as the silicone remains undisturbed, the board should remain sealed for quite a while; potentially even the life of the board. That said, vibrations and expansion/contraction due to seasonal temperature changes could impact the effectiveness of the seal over time.

@LastZacNA Год назад

@@fixmypev Thanks for the info, I live in Washington so having a waterproofed board would come in handy. However, since it isn’t an exact science I’ll still be avoiding water as much as possible. Thanks again for the response. FOMF

@fixmypev Год назад

@@LastZacNA Awesome! I’m actually currently visiting Washington. The moisture is no joke. It’s always a good idea to limit exposure to moisture; even after Badgering as you stated.

Badgered my plus when the xr came out, it survived being stuck in a downpour that killed my buddy bms in his xr. Def need to protect your onewheel from the o shit days…

@nicholasdorazio10 9 месяцев назад

I literally was whipping down a grass hill and out of nowhere I hit a hole. Fully submerged my one wheel Gt in almost a foot of water and yes I went flying LMAO. The grass was the same height so I couldn't see it!! NO caps on! Picked it up and it was just pissing water. I shut it off and let it dry since I was 8 miles from home had to wait it out. Thankfully it was toasting that day. happened to me one other time and its STILL KICKING.. Crazy how some peoples just brick from hitting puddles:(

@jamesmagnusson8248 11 месяцев назад

So, do I need to wait 24 hours before riding at all or just 24 hours before riding through water? That bit was a little unclear.

Mine continues to fill up very slowly. But doesnt fully inflate even after 4 minutes. Is that considered good ??

@IAmSarlosCantana 5 месяцев назад

Did you ever get this sorted out? Mine fills up in like 20 seconds and I have tried everything. Wherever it’s leaking from is not anything mentioned in this video or any other I could find

@heatedgreen94 5 месяцев назад

@@IAmSarlosCantana mine seemed to be filling up about the same speed as in the video maybe even slower. Just make sure the motor cable and footpad cable are sealed good. Also make sure the glands that go from your battery to front controller box are tight. And make sure your gasket is not pinched in the lid because that could cause a leak. 👍 hope this helps you resolve the issue

@IAmSarlosCantana 5 месяцев назад

@@heatedgreen94 Sorry to bother you again but what do you mean by "glands"? Are you talking about the part that goes around the cable as it exits the controller box? The part that gets squeezed really tight when you tighten the nut that holds the cable in place?

@heatedgreen94 5 месяцев назад

@@IAmSarlosCantanaThe part of the main battery harness cable where it connects to the controller box and the battery box. Make sure the nut and the other piece are tight on both sides.My main leak was on the left side of my motor cable

@punksurfer76 Год назад

he's funny

@IAmSarlosCantana 5 месяцев назад

Anyone else have a leak where the cable enters the “brain box”? I’ve followed all the steps but mine is still leaking air like a mf and I can literally hear the air coming out the spot where the cable goes into the computer. I feel like I should just seal that up too but I don’t think they did anything like that in the video so I’m a little scared

When you say. You never waterproofed a board. Do you mean personally? Or do you mean you never had it waterproof? If you never had it waterproof. And you’ve owned a lot of boards. Why do it at all? But if you had other people do it for you than none of this matters my questions About the video

All these suckers spent upwards of 2,600 on a GT just to have to waterproof it. Don’t touch the battery or you will upgrade your GT to a 2,600 paper weight.
