Onewheel FST Footpads Possible Issue??

- Anyone else get huge nose dips on drop/bollie landings?? Is the funky sensor on my front pad the problem? Ive never had any problem landing drops with my normal footpads (no footholds). Every layer of plastic over the sensor in a big area is not glued down so maybe it is cutting out right before i land... No idea honestly, maybe its just me.. Anyone have this issue with there FST's or had the same issue on there first time using foot holds? Hit me up in the comments with what you think please.
Hey Garrett, I'm sorry your sensor is delaminating! As long as you keep debris out from underneath it should still operate reliably until you get a replacement.
As for the nose dipping on jumps it could be a couple things. Its common to tilt the board forward in the air with footholds. Theres a bit of a learning curve to keeping the board flat now that you have the ability to manipulate it in the air. The other thing is if you have gradient tracking too high and/or responsive and you are spinning the wheel backwards in the air so that you land into hard braking it could be lifting the tail thinking you are descending a steep hill.
Hope that helps reach out if you have any questions 🤙
@@turningmagnets Whats uppp, so the footpad i sent back on tuesday, they are sending me a replacement, i think production is behind a bit from all the orders so its still getting manufactured. And dude thats what i been thinking also, im def either angling the board in the air subconsiously maybe or i was still a little weary about the the front foothold so was like breaking right before the drop making the wheel spin backwards. But when i had tracking on i usually run it at +1 +2 and 3°max, so i have it super low, but i did put it back to my normal highline shaping the other day, im totally fine hitting drops with my stock pad back on, but i will get back at it with the FST's once i get the new one. I only decided to send it back cuz half the entire sensor ended up peeling up so i figured FM would send me a new one since it peeled up after only 2 days. But they are pretty sweet tho the couple times i rode them! But thanks for the pointers il keep tryin them soon as i get it back.
But those were the two issues i was thinking would cause me nose dipping on landings, either me totally riding wrong lol, so the tracking thinking it needs to lower the nose. But il figure it out and hopefully be used to the footholds by Winman time! Thanks Austen
@@Floatin-G-91 anytime man! Yeah if you set up your phone to the side of a drop and get some slow motion clips I bet you'll be able to see exactly what's going on. Stoked you're liking them otherwise 🤙
@@turningmagnets thats a good idea!! Il set my Max up on the ground next time once i get them and check it out, good thinking. Thanks again broseph
Yoo Austen, have you heard of anyone else having the delaminating issue with the FST's yet? Just got my replacement pad yesterday and rode for 20 mins and the majority of the middle area of the sensor is already bubbled so when i tap down on it eith my finger u can see another spot lift up you know. Wonder if the machine that applies the sensors isnt applying enough adhesive maybe? What u think?
TFL posi starter is a game changer have one installed on my GT.
@@blazeschacht3288 yeah they are the shit, but still wont help much since the sensor isnt glued down very well, so both sides of the sensor in the middle are kinda like loose/bubbled
I think it’s a firmware thing for the GT. I just bought a GT recently and already own a GT-S. The nose dip thing is inconsistent but I immediately noticed it since it doesn’t happen to me on my GT-S.
@@1800Swagg i have a GTS tho, and it only was happening on those FST footpads before i sent in the defective one. Put my normal footpad back on it and i can hit drops totally fine again sith no nose dip issue on landing at all! So im thinking the FST i got with the f'd sensor was the issue. Im hoping when they ship me the replacement here soon it goes back to normal and i can hit drops again without frickin nose dipping and eating it on landing lol
@@Floatin-G-91 Gotcha. Hmm. I’ve definitely noticed it more on my GT. I hope the footpads fix it for you and great vid!
@@1800Swagg yeha im really hoping also! And thanks man, im still learnin, and also still learning how to edit so il be posted some better videos as time goes on, and also il be working on filming reviews and stuff too, and guna be doing some scot mendenhall style fun races soon as well! So ya man thanks! Sub to channel if you want too
not cool & my FST's are arriving today! 😄
@@jaefrmbk2k Hopefully just the first batch was funky and by now they figured out the issues, but other than that theybare frickin sweet man! And they shipping me a replacement now, only had to send one email with some pics and they sent me a return label. But let me know how yours are and if u like them
will do! 🤙🏾
Same issue!!
@@GoblinMan8 which issue, no grip tape on the back, or the nose dips? Or the front grip tape is not glued? Lol
Ridiculous for the price
@@DSC1320 well i needed new front foot pad anyways so if u buy new footpads and then buy like some hookers or any after market footholds ur basically spending the same $$ if not more than that so they arent that bad honestly
How’s the level of your GTS with the WTFs? And how do the FSTs feel with the WTF angles?
Welllllll, i did the ol' Jeff Adair trick and i have some nylon bushings between the rails and controller. I didnt want to jam a bunch metal of washers inbetween it u know so i omly used nylon bushings and i didnt tilt it completely level either i got it within about 1 degree so in custom i just have my noze angle set to .9 up to completely level it out. Super easy to do tho, but u do have to use an occilating multitool to shave off a tiny bit of the front bang bumper where the controller dips down a bit since its angled. But anyways it rides tits man, and the FST's feel really good on the Dubs actually! Ive been one of the freefootgang riders since i been riding lol but figured screw it id get some footholds cuz i had to really push it and its really hard to compete with foothold riders in races! But i do recommend them for sure man tjey are pretty dope
@@Floatin-G-91 Nice thanks for the info. I run the WTFs on my GTS at about 2 degrees. I did the metal washers thing but took it out might try the nylon tho. Definitely going to have to pick up some FSTs.
For sure man, i wanna say i used maybe i think two 1/8" nylon bushing, or maybe it was one 1/8" and one 1/16" stacked on each side in the front and then i used just a very thin rubber washer on each side for the back 2 screws cuz if u tilt the front too much then it kinda lifts up the back of the controller where the battery bar is u know, so just ran those rubber ones just to lower it a tiny bit and for shock absorbtion! But right on man, ya the only thing about having to adjust it all im custom is trying to ride switch sucks ass when it makes ur tail lift up a ton you know
My rear footpad has no grip tape on arrival lol
@@hunterault3123 lol no way?? Wtf, how does that even happen, they must not be doing very good QC i guess.. least urs is the back hahah, now basically my whole sensor is floppin around, only a tiny spot is actually glued. Sucks, cuz FM has been killin it lately on everything and have never had anything ive ordered messed up yet until now
