Great to finally hear some more Raptor owners out there. I didnt find the so called cruise feature managable. Best to keep with the forward and braking throttle. Tweakng of controller through BLDC tool will allow you to fnd the sweet spot. Enjoy and be carefull going at 45km/hr.
you can set deadband in the vesc bldc gui if it annoys you 
As a gen one Raptor owner I know all the small issues you mentioned. Dead band can be set on a very small value. When the board isnāt coasting right it is the pulse width setting on the remote. The right Allan keys should be included. Breaking and accelerating can be corrected in the bldc tool. I will let you know my values when I have more time.
It would be cool if you shared yours. I guess most raptor owners will learn to work with the bldc tool but it would be cool having a good preset of settings
I thought this was normal? Both my E-go and BB controllers works that way, there wasnāt really a cruise control mode. I think its suppose to be a safety measure.
i canāt get my remote to connect with the board 
try a different channel?

Also, hold down the a or b gutton to turn on the remote. it will have a green light on one side
I think itās official, new Raptors need to come with a manual for the remoteā¦who wants to make one? A lot of the information is out there it just needs to be compiled. Once I get mine I could make an unofficial one.

A Raptor Manual with pictographs and some words would be a cool idea ā¦ And just post it as a closed thread on this site so people can view it but not comment on itā¦ If they questions they quote the thread in a question on a separate thread

Iāll look into it over this long holiday weekendā¦I do get a kick out of making instructional stuff Iāll need to confirm by testing myself, but I can make a FAQ based off of these threads in preparationā¦
You can have pictures like on airplanes that show you how do stuff in an emergency lol
Itās funny we are all so use to seeing terrible instructions from these Chinese manufacturersā¦ From remote to esc instructionsā¦ A well laid out instruction guide would be a breath of fresh air in our hobby

I would hope everyone knows how to tuck and roll lol Iāll put a disclaimer:
āEnertion is not responsible for any injuries sustained while configuring the remote. You are on your own. Pad the f*#*@ up.ā
But yeah bad instructions suckā¦I prefer videos really
Lol would it kill Chinese manufacturing to make the font bigger in their instructions? The ESC programming instructions are my favoriteā¦a lot of squinting

no go, I got as far as step five, turning the raptor back on, but when i did, no lights appeared on the remote indicating a channel
Maybe @carl.1 can help, try emailing them maybe they can send over a new remote and fix yours if thats the issue.
Anyone elsesā batteries ship? I am in the raptor batch that should be shipping in the next week or two per onloopās post. I thought the batteries would ship before the board but I havenāt gotten any notification, so was wondering if other people from the same batch as me got any notification.
Havenāt gotten any notification either. I think the holiday weekend might be slowing things down a bit for whomever is supposed to be shipping them to or from the US at least. Iād say if they arenāt shipping by the end of this upcoming week we should be concernedā¦boards too for that matter.
