I got a GT for my 70th Birthday last year. I was loving the ride when one day my battery suddenly cut out on me and nosedived! I was slammed to the pavement at 21.6 mph. Shattered my left femur and bashed my head pretty good too. I was life flighted to the Trauma Center in Roseville CA. I wasn't wearing any body armor... big mistake. 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

As a paramedic and a avid rider, this is terrifying. 70 years old and still dragging around those giant balls. LOL God bless you, man. I'm turning 49 in April and my wife shakes her head every time I ride my board. I would imagine that you either wear lots of gear or do not ride anymore. I hope it is the former. Don't you have a wife to tell you to not do this crazy shit?

I was more comfortable on the GT-S but that is just because of the extra power. It seems more stable, I think because I was not pushing it close to its limits. Both my GT and GT-S are stock, except that my GT has the same FM Performance Treaded tire that is stock on the GT-S. I also have the Floatlife Kush rear footpad and Lifesavers on the GT. Interestingly, when I weighed them, the GT-S was about 3lbs less than my GT. That could also make it more comfortable.

I even contacted the dealer where I bought it, to see if they could ship it back to F/M for warranty repair, but the dealer told me that since they had always been scammed by F/M on warranty repair shipping cost reimbursement, they didn't want to deal with F/M anymore.

You might be able to find one on eBay.

Also floatwheel sells a vesc that may be good and I think they are upgrading it soon, I haven’t heard too much about that one yet though. Fungineers also said they’d make a round of vescs sometime soon. Overall, I’d definitely watch some of surfdados videos on the vescs he’s used and recommends before doing a conversion.

I got to ride the GTS last weekend for a few hours and I agree 100% with you. I was really excited to feel a big difference, the reality was a little different. It’s a great board, it did climb an area we usually use to drop in, very steep, but the GT did it too… It’s more powerful and it’s fun, but in no way does the difference between the two boards validate the price in my opinion. I will buy a good used one when people are selling them but I will not pay that much for the difference, it’s just not worth it to me. (I will say that it’s more noticeable on trails, which is cool).

Your headlight led are flashing error codes throughout the video 7:03 for example going into the turn. im gonna wager you over volted a capacitor. If they didnt change the program in the microcontroller then it will have no perameters for 113v. At that greater pressure overcharge cap would pop through its fracture mark bricking the board. To anybody reading this understand voltage IS pressure ( amps are 3lectron flow ) so volts does not = speed . Its the mechanical equivalent of putting way too many psi in a vessel that cannot hold the pressure . Bottom line, get a vesc. Ffm ... glad youre okay

Uh, NO. Look again Sherlock. It's simply the footpad blocking the view of the headlight every time the nose comes down a little. And regarding the caps, if they are rated for higher voltage (which I suspect they are rated for at least 125V, have you seen how HUGE they are in the GT-S??) then they don't care. The controller doesn't control voltage, it controls PWM. Voltage is whatever the battery (or motor) is putting out.

Am I behind or are we actually able to vesc the gt? Because that would be problem solved. the XR star had a certain amount of volts the GT went up to 75 or 76 and the new one is a 113. 84 V from my XR converted with a vesc. Can anybody please tell me the voltage or power available on Ag t if it followed the same formula? I would even be happy with 84 V. I just didn't think we could do that.
