Onewheel GT Footpad Sensor Removal and Transplant To Kush Wide.

[@trazhcan]

Doing God’s work!!!

What adhesive did you use to stick the sensor to the kush wide? And so far any issues?

[@FilthyMcNasty]

It's nothing too fancy, just some Loctite spray adhesive "professional performance contact adhesive 300 heavy" that came from Lowes/Home Depot. Blue and gray spray can with a black lid. And zero engagement issues thus far.

How's it look under the footpad? Did you anchor the connector cable somehow? I've been brainstorming ideas but was curious about what you did. Thanks for the video!

[@FilthyMcNasty]

I cut a slot in the pad to feed the connector through, it's literally just taped to the bottom of the pad in such a way that it sits in the little groove on top of the controller box.

I’m considering doing this but would want them to be the same style footpads, is there a reason why you went with two different ones? I’m trying to decide between the kush wide and c&r air pad.

[@FilthyMcNasty]

Well, it's a long-ish story but tldr I had them both, the Airpad was already installed and it just made sense. I also feel that the KW is just better suited to taking a sensor, as the material is more rigid and gives me confidence that the sensor should work properly. I initially ordered the AP, but then there were delays, I got impatient and ordered the KW. They ended up arriving within 24hs of one another. I rode the KW for 2 days but the allure of that sqishy air pad got me and I had to swap it. At the point I decided to go ahead with the transplant, i had been riding the AP on the rear for just over a week and had really been enjoying it. I ride a bit heavy on the back foot so that squish is really nice. But again the extra rigidity of the KW just inspires more confidence in my control up front.

@@FilthyMcNasty thanks for the reply and that makes sense. I didn’t see anything about a metal plate, is it not needed?

[@FilthyMcNasty]

@sgtfelixfpv8451 For my riding(90% street not big on drops/tricks), I think I'll be fine without reinforcing the battery lid. But if you're doing drops, heavy trail rides or lots of curb nudges and other tricks, I'd probably do so.

Has it ghosted on you at all?? That’s why I’m afraid to try it. Thx
