Tutorial: How to Waterproof your Onewheel GT

[@1c2h3i4v5a6s]

Can we send the board to you guys to do it professionally??

[@onewheelangel7027]

"Double and triple check your work" is exactly what I say with our knots rock climbing. V good words to live by

[@COBARHORSE1]

Mandy! So good to see you. Great video. I liked the quick cut editing during the screw removal. It shows what you need to do, but doesn't bore you.

[@laniakeafilament2730]

thank you! awesome video! this really helps out. is there any chance you could do one for the pint x as well? i really want to buy the badger bearings and waterproof kit from you guys. a video like this would really make me feel more comfortable doing it!

[@heatedgreen94]

At 6:20 it filled up and you put the covers on after. Is that good enough the way it filled up slowly?? Mine doesnt fill up all the way even after about 5 minutes but i can tell its still filling very slowly.

[@jrelectronics1338]

Future motion is currently finding a way to sue these guys for altering the board. Maybe they will find a way to claim waterproofing it makes it dangerous?

[@everythingpony]

wait they are sueing theses guys too?

[@skylercutsforth8595]

that is absolutely ridiculous. thats sooo stupid, this is a life saving process..?

[@devrim1134]

Aren’t those gaskets lubricated with grease by FM? Even if there is no grease, you should thoroughly clean (grease free) any part or surface in order for the silicone to stick. Any contaminants will make any silicone seal fail.

[@kbussche]

Noticed the mud on the inside of your fender. Try doing a coat of car wax on the underside, seems to keep it from sticking.

[@joegoldin]

Gonna give this a shot!

[@slothsride7556]

Are the vent covers reusable and is it possible to put a layer of silicone on the outside edges of the controller and battery box to prevents leaks?

[@harryj1081]

Why not use some marine grade sealant products? drilled holes on boat applied some of that, no leaks even submerged on lakes/ocean.

[@Keorvane]

This is a actually quite easy to do! Thank you!!

[@GitDatPC]

My Badger kit arrives soon but today I went 10 miles in heavy rain on the GT 😞 Should I just Badger like normal once the kit arrives?

[@droneswithattitude5149]

did it survive?

[@MrSandman982]

Indepth waterproofing does not void the warranty according to FTC law. "unauthorized" repairs cannot void warranties and void stickers are illegal to place and use. This is why FM needs to be reported to the FTC.

[@fred_e]

I came down here to beat the same drum

[@shen9871]

Hi, I just wanted to ask, is there any reason why FM doesn't manufacture their boards to be water proofed like this? You'd think they'd want to do so, to dissuade people from opening up their board.

[@contorta960]

Why would they do that? Why make a product that lasts? You break your board, void your warranty, buy new or pay for repair. No incentive to waterproof till some gnarly competition does. That being said FM doesn't have anywhere to upgrade to, being all about conformity so maybe in another 4 years there will be a 'water resistant' release with fine print stating not to ride in the wet.

[@norbelsemaj3870]

Is the Vent there for a Reason. I think the battery gets Hot that's why there is Vent in the Battery Case.

Altitude changes

[@ict_onewheelbros950]

Just got my kits in the mail! Thanks Mandy! ➖☠️➖🤙🤙

[@jeremyrosenahagen4577]

Do u sale that tool for all the screws?

[@widgget]

Awesome Info! Thanks for sharing!

[@rappgrows3434]

Will it over heat easier now?

[@fred_e]

I'd certainly like to know how this impacts thermal performance.

[@GitDatPC]

Curious as well 🤔

[@juanrosado3125]

Can you post a link to where we can buy that Sniffer ?

[@JonSurridge]

just cut the top off your douche

[@onewithwheel]

Informative and satisfying 🙌

[@Chewbaccawheel]

This is an essential upgrade if you ride in Florida like me.

[@fred_e]

Or pretty much anywhere that isn't California or a desert

[@panieldoon4965]

Using an electric impact driver would make UNSCREWing the big bolts easier. Make sure its set to un-screw, as if its going the wrong direction, you might over torque it and strip the threads! Hand tighten when putting them back in!!

[@boolikethebear]

itd would be so nice if FM did this to every board.

[@kjkang11]

Uhm the tire screws are incredibly hard to loosen up

[@1Axis]

So none of this will Brick your GT ?

[@Chewbaccawheel]

Nope but it will definitely void the warranty if you remove the covers to apply silicone around the gaskets.

[@fred_e]

@@Chewbaccawheel none of this voids your warranty. Please, don't spread misinformation.

[@fred_e]

As long as the battery maintains a steady connection to the computer, it will not brick your machine.

[@GitDatPC]

@@fred_e It says in the video it will void the warranty. So it doesn't void it than?

[@fred_e]

@@GitDatPC United States warranty law is often ignored

[@bwhsh8r]

you should definitely put the pro tip to not remove the battery side cover before you show her removing the battery side vent cover. was too late by the time I got there

[@Aufkezeal]

Did anyone else not get bits? Am I blind?

[@sideeggunnecessary]

Voids warranty

[@elisha770]

LATEST BUGS FOUND ARE THE FINAL DRAW ! THE COMPANY IS PLAYING WITH FIRE. SORRY FM... NO SOUP FOR YOU ! NEXT !!!!!!!
