Onewheel GT: IS IT WATERPROOF? Official Badger Assessment

[@TheBoardGarage]

Excellent video. 🙏

[@laniakeafilament2730]

great vid! really clear camera and i can see everything. is there by chance a video of badgering the pint x? like a step by step tutorial on how to badger the wheel? i searched in your channel and didn't find one. i know there are photo and written instructions on your website, and i am really interested in purchasing your product, a video does really help to visualize the process and have more confidence in working on badgering the board. i am sure a lot of peeps would be glad to see a video how to from badger/you guys directly and will help with sales! thanks for doing what you do! :3

[@calivisionmedia]

Yes a Pint x vid please.

[@CED99]

Did you have to removed the battery or disconnect it? - I see from Luis Ross an and Leonard French that bricks the GT

[@idkimnotsure1960]

I just badgered my onewheel, after about a year of owning it, riding through everything. It's survived so far, but it's such a relief to get it badgered. When i took it apart i realized how badly the seals were put in place. So it's kind of a miracle that it hasn't bricked yet.

Great vid! Just wanted to comment on how great the microphone quality is! Top notch stuff here. Thank you!

[@clausgiloi6036]

I don't think the lawyers of any commercial product will allow the term "waterproof", no? There are only varying degree of water resistance. I really appreciate knowing how the GT compares with the XR in terms of water resistance! I was always careful with the XR, it would be nice to worry less in the PNW.

Knowing what I know now about silicon, I'd never use it to try and seal my OW. I'd strongly recommend a polyurethane (Like Sikaflex or Dicor) to anyone doing this. Silicon will harden over time and can't expand and contract very well, and vibration will cause it to sheer/pull away from flat, unroughened surfaces. An elastomer has surface adhesion levels almost unmatched, and stay supple over time to absorb bumps, vibrations and expand a lot with part movement. It's also cleaned more easily than silicon, which fouls the surface and makes re-applications fail at a high rate. Would love to see Badger kits upgraded!

Where are people getting those shirts with the FM void sticker?

[@deemontes7265]

Niiiiice. Can’t wait to get the GT kit

[@superman0199]

Thanks for spreading the knowledge. I definitely want to badger my GT when it comes in.

[@alecbrown6434]

Where did you get that Warranty Void shirt?

[@BrandenLaCour]

Thanks Robert and Mandy!

[@Shortsolja90]

Did you board brick after putting it back together

[@WarmasterSidious]

Doing God's work over there. Thank you for investigating this and coming up with the solutions we need :)

[@sageslarres]

But can you remove the battery?

[@Andorski]

Would putting silicone around the connector void the warranty? You don't have to open up the controller at all, but FM seems so trigger happy to declare someone's warranty as void due to "modification".

[@oskarfallman]

I would say with FMs track record yes

[@deemontes7265]

Nah it’s not really considered a modification is it ?

[@badgerwheelonewheel7947]

Historically, FM has honored some warranty claims for modified boards when it's obvious the modification didn't cause the issue. In this case, it's a non-issue because you can remove the silicone pretty easily with a toothpick or other plastic scraper, and some qtips. That way you're sending it in to FM "unmodified."

[@LEXPIX]

Nicely done. Great test and effort applied.

[@Aegaris42]

Same question but for Pint X. How waterproof is it compared to GT?

[@badgerwheelonewheel7947]

It leaks in the same place. GT is basically just a scaled up Pint.

[@grantbrown4464]

Wow… Could there possibly be a worse place for water to get in? That’s directly where water would end up and it goes straight into the fragile part of the controller!

[@Tigers.i]

“Is the sniffer like grill tongs?” Lmao “Do you have to squeeze it a couple times before you use it?” 🤣

[@1c2h3i4v5a6s]

So with this kit you can use under the rain with no problems ?

[@GrumpFish22]

You guys need to more videos like this! Great Stuff

[@vietnguyen2354]

I giggled when you said "bolt holes". 6:07

[@carvecreative]

Awesome video! Thank you for sharing this information with us.

[@criticalyee6138]

What is the waterproof level for the Onewheel pint on a scale from 1-10

[@BillyShredder]

👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@slyexpeditions6579]

Thanks!

[@danielromo3363]

when this problem happened in your GT it does not turn on there was a short

[@FloodAnxiety]

Great work!

[@dustinglowa1072]

Gonna need me one of them “badger ears” !

[@RLNTLSSShredShop]

Great info! 🤙🏼☠️💯

[@jerrybailey2708]

Can you do a Pint X video ? Did my GT and its awesome. Would like to do my Wifes Pint X.

[@johnnewcomb2301]

Good stuff!

[@DG-xj7pm]

Mine doesn't work. Yayyyyyyyyy

[@fred_e]

My condolences

[@redboyjan]

If FM said it was waterproof I wouldn't trust them anyway

[@EugeneMaynard]

👍🏾🙏🏾

[@jaefrmbk2k]

🤙🏾

[@rebeccablice8762]

So then buying the GT was a business expense? 😁

[@RemingtonTerritory]

Did she just refer to herself as McFly!?

[@matix10104]

You know why they say water resistant. So they can void your warranty.
