How to Install a Onewheel GT S-Series Controller Module

[@Mowguli]

The stage has changed. We can officially own our board anywhere we want to. Thank you!

[@BuggMann91]

I seem to remember a few years ago you guys telling us all we definitely didn't want interchangeable parts for our boards. I'm glad to see the seeming change of heart, but makes me wonder.

[@notthatjonathandavis7609]

Awesome, so glad to see all the parts available. Now I just need you guys to make an extended range battery for the GTS and I'll be golden lol.

[@MrMark-sr2fs]

Just in time for the GTV Power Kit 😂

[@jimmboy48]

I just got my GTV installed and it feels great. Way better than a stock GT. I would recommend to anyone who wants more out of their board.

[@MrMark-sr2fs]

@@jimmboy48 just got my GTV Power Kit today! Need to find the time to install it and un-FM my GT.

[@Luso___]

It's great to see something like this finally happening

[@nicoaleman]

Is there any registration/activation that needs to be done through the app, similar to the Battery Module swap? Or does it automatically pair to the first Battery Module that it's connected to?

[@Onewheel]

Yep, same process as the battery module but instead of clicking activate battery you'll just click for controller module

[@nicoaleman]

@@Onewheel Thanks for the clarification, wasn't included in the video like the Battery Module video so wasn't sure, appreciate the response ✌

[@Bobby-o-Float]

Any chance to see voltages on the XR? I'm sketched out riding my board on the streets after having it stored in the winter. Hate seeing all these videos of boards just shutting off randomly and it would suck even more in traffic

[@Jameslangford-rc6sw]

FINALLY! FM is redeeming themselves!

[@kalel5676]

So, if the board isn't registered in the portal yet how the F do you install a new controller in the app?

[@ivangrigorev6614]

Okay okay guys, just calibration for angled rails as a cherry on top and y’all can go on vacation for couple years 💪🏼🤣

[@NtotheO91]

This is awesome! Any chance we also get some insights into the board diagnostics? Like battery cell balance monitoring etc?

[@Sigeo1vl]

Great job FM, and thank you for listening to the community. Also a suggestion could we get a retro series board that looks like the XR. That design is classic for the days when you want a lightweight cruiser.

[@notthatjonathandavis7609]

XR is still the best looking in my opinion for sure.

[@jeremiahjenkins9221]

What does this do?

[@Jimbeezyftw]

I’m trying to register my new controller, but I keep running into issues.

[@fixmypev]

Stoked for controllers! 🤙🏼⚡️🛠️ Do these come with a cover, screws, and a gasket?

[@haymose_]

When is V8?

[@itssimplyjeff1]

if you buy a GTS controller module and a GTS battery module, can you upgrade a GT to a GT-S? you'd obviously need to get the GT-S charger and probably eventually upgrade the motor, but very curious.

[@frankcabacungan8421]

I’m very interested in this as well

[@lukeridess]

i don't see why you couldn't, you'd probably have to get a serial number for the new parts though...

[@petercrisci1727]

I was told by a customer service rep that the new GTS controller would not be able to be activated in this scenario, so no unfortunately. Maybe one day

[@ChristopheGUIVANT]

What is going on??? June is Christmas at FM headquarter???

[@_OneJ_]

No way!!!! This is awesome.

[@Onewheel]

Yes way!

[@thejunkmanlives]

ive seen so many guys strip these apart and have never once seen anyone talk about torque specs(thank you). But why in Newton-meters? why not ft lbs? also wouldnt you want some lub for the gasket?

[@lukeridess]

if its a new gasket then no

[@drumstickscarecrow]

Having these parts available now, would it be possible to upgrade a standard GT to a GT-S by swapping the motor, battery module, and controller to their GT-S variants?

[@jordanmacfarlane5807]

I don’t see why not you could even use the 6” hub and better foot pads !

[@drumstickscarecrow]

@@jordanmacfarlane5807 The only reason I could possibly see it NOT working is because of the serial number. I don't know if a GT's serial number could be "ported over" to what would essentially be a new GT-S build. I know FM says the controller is for repairing a board, but not sure if it's limited to just that. Being able to convert a GT to a GT-S would be a huge win for people wanting to upgrade that don't mind sacrificing parts of their GT in the process.

[@itssimplyjeff1]

@@drumstickscarecrow i'm not sure if this is possible, the GTS uses a different charging plug edit: it actually looks like you can buy the GT charging port, but not the GTS just yet. i think once that's available, you should be able to "upgrade" your board. i think most will upgrade the motor first, then do the battery+controller+port together

[@drumstickscarecrow]

@@itssimplyjeff1 Oh yeah, that's something I hadn't thought about yet. The charge port should be a non-issue since that's built into the hardware you'd be installing. However, you'd also have to get a GT-S charger since the GT charger doesn't work with the GT-S.

[@sfctac]

Why are new hub bolts being recommended?

[@Tactical_Taco]

The loctite.

[@Onewheel]

As Taco mentioned it's for the thread lock. Once you break the seal on the bolts from the factory over time the bolts can loosen due to vibrations. Fresh hub bolts come with a fresh coating and will be more secure than reused bolts

[@annuet6454]

Fresh loctite and cheap assurance that you’ll be putting in bolts that won’t be overly stressed from multiple removals or have a stripped bit or threads.

[@sfctac]

@@Onewheel I've taken my XR apart dozens of times, are these bolts any different? It's great that parts are available for sale but this recommendations seems wasteful. Just tell us which loctite is being used.

[@lukeridess]

@@Onewheel so can we use our own thread lock?

[@bencrystalofficial]

Game changing ✨

[@Onewheel]

❤

[@Scayo15]

In theory could we upgrade our gt's into gt-s's with just the full kit?

[@josephknowles1326]

He’s a ball of joy!🪐

[@p0rtugeek]

Someone wake me up!

[@MightyFineMoran]

:))))

[@OfficerTacosMcGee]

I just received my One wheel Pint X today. Can someone explain what the hell is going on
