my DIY solution: I used some plastic bottles as a source to me some myself.. bottom can be done plain, left and right a little but can be cut out to be fitting the panel fairings - if the width is done correctly, the windshield can be clamped in between the panels aligning to the shape of the bottom ones..

@vergogneless Sorry that I still wasn't able to deliver something, maybe that short 36 seconds video helps to get a glimpse: I was pushing gently but not forcing the housing to break or something... I would say the bearing and the mount for the wheel is a tight fit.

Thanks for the update! ♥ Also a little update from my side: AS I am only working with RC Motorcycles, I had some more occurences of heavier 1:5 models from @amorti to be tested - till now it was working well and the Buwizz not disconnecting due to too much throttle. Except last weekend the outdoor range was very low again - I am getting the feeling the parking garage I am regulary using is somehow a better isolation for possibly interferencing signals than outdoor scenarios with other disturbing Wifis / BT and other radio frequencies in the wild.... Edit: btw does somebody esle have the bug that the Buwizz Voltage will be shown as 17.something Volts and the Amp-values of the Currentmeters are set to 3.something right at the start of selecting a profile?

I think CVTs will be an area of just solving more and more issues when done in bricks, as it depends of some degree of freedom in the different axis, but on the other hand it will be benefitial for it to not have too much slack overall to function. No easy topic I believe, but all the best to find a good working solution!

Chances of it failing somehow are high... but yeah, MTP parts are nice - but aluminium, so keep in mind they easily transport the heat.. :D

Haha, super nice project! Kudos for the working guitars!

Yeeeaaaah, maybe - but I am curious of the outcome of it. Things have to be tested, otherwise we will never know... so please go on :D

Ah ok, then sorry - thought the 1-directional clutching with allowing for free spin would be enough already. But you want to have motors running a main crankshaft for moving the pistons and from that allowing with some kind of rpm-limit driven clutch to move the real drivedrain, if I got it correctly?

@piterx's freespin is smaller and may be helpful here..

"Supply and demand" I guess... unfortunately I can't offer alternatives..

People will kill me for that pin-torturing, which is needed at the front mounting of the wheel to the fork.. Maybe this will be a chance or singularity of all different interest fields and brick people to unite and hunt me down.

Update on @amorti's RC Boxer Sports Motorcycle: Short footage of the first testdrive with working active steering: 🏍🔥

Nice gearbox! Chainlinks can handle more torque when put on inside out. Can be observed here:

Unfortunately not had any time to test those and create some good footage - I hope for being able to do so this or next weekend. Sorry for lagging behind with that..

From the Buwizz mail, the updated UserGuide in Version 1.9 as a PDF: https://buwizz.com/UserGuide_1_9.pdf

Good luck then - what you could also do is opening the case and disconnecting the battery's connector from the PCB socket. But to be clear: with doing so YOU WILL VOID ANY WARRANTY! I just want to mention the possibiliy that there is a plugable connector for the batt of the Buwizz 3 (not sure about the Buwizz 2!).. So please really consider this only if you have the skills to not screw it somehow up and then blame the vendor or me!

Please read the last two pages of this thread, then you may get a clue how to get into the beta program to have a possible long-term fix & also you can reply to Zerobricks, as he asked if their fix is working out for ppl like you and me.. Generally for me it helped to "reset" the buwizz into a useable state by just putting it onto a charger - sometimes it helps for the fast blinking mode to stop.. some times not.

Feedback regarding current limiters: I only had one occurance with a very light motorcycle model with the new beta, so insights may not be that helpful - but the Buwizz operated totally stable over the whole time and there wasn't any recognizable effect like the model starting with some delay or something.

@Toastie you got me wrong. Expert mode and the BT conn info I see as two different things. the conn info shall just be an informative one, reading out the bt functionality of the phone (highest supported bt protocol-version). Without such informative box the only feedback for range issues one may get is "depends on the phone" - which is a very helpful statement getting more details about the 60m range claim being false and what the real limit of the product is..

I am with @amorti in regard of ease-to-use of the product in the default state. But also on the other hand I would like to have more options in kind of an "expert mode" which would allow more detailed configuration for the users who need / want it. As complaining is easy, at least some idea to have it intuitive but maybe working with the calibration for the different types of motors: Give the possibility to select the type of PWM motor in the centered steering module for the calibration and maybe general output to be adjusted to the fitting values for the selected type. Also regard the BT upgrade: Still have a Samsung S20 FE with BT5 stack - so as already pointed out, it would be a nice to have feature to somehow get the information about the connection state between Buwizz and the phone.

Zero, I think nobody is mad at you personally, more like at the vendor Buwizz I reckon. I would hope for at least some good default values for the different PWM motors setups possible with Buwizz.. like "for the angular thingies, this and that needs to be set to x, y, z". Do they have the angulars available at Buwizz HQ for further testing?

Also tested again, outcome is: For me the medium angular motor gets some voltage applied (one can hear the motor do some sounds) but not moving at all at several tries. Then it tells after some time it did its calibration - what it didn't. I can create combined footage of screen recording + the Buwizz being recorded, if helpful.. Edit: @amorti Try to increase the "Centering PVM power" to 80% -> helped out for me. Edit2: Only the calibration seems to work - partially, as the center position is not being hit afterwards... :D & also no steering function in the real controls after "successful" calibration. Edit3: Starting over with a clean and fresh profile helped.. ✔

Thanks for the fast reply to us from within your free time & a happy Easter! I will retry with the angular with a limit set for both sides and report back / edit my above post.

Another question for Zero, if he can answer from his alpha testing experiences: Is the new BT stack giving some additional meters in the total range? I think I may test that this evening for myself.

Nothing there for you? On Android?
