Leg spasms must suck! I'm sorry to hear you gotta deal with that.
Cheers mate...unfortunately its a 24/7 thing that i have dealt with since my accident, the daily severity of the pain
is a coin toss, some days its minimal and i can get a lot done, others the legs is hypo sensitive and the slightest touch triggers
excruciating leg spasm, they last from 3-5 seconds feels like a hot 9inch nail being driven into your hamstring, then it stops
as quick as it started and everything is normal....3-4 minutes later repeat process, in between these though I get 'twinges"
that feel like the spasm is about to happen but doesn't, you can guess that leaves one somewhat on edge...and no nothing can be done to correct this the cause is a nerve i ripped from my spinal cord, it cant be re-attached, this is also the cause of me NOT being able to feel or move my legs from the knees down. Its just something i have to deal with im afraid and hope the next day is better than the last.

If you've got your first brushed motor trike around, you should ghetto together a cable to link up those packs and go for ride. You're going to love LiPo. Its like the engine equilivant of going from 87octane gasoline to Methonal. Nobody goes back.
No can do mate, trikes 80% disassembled & what remains in tact has a smoked motor... :-(

Methy and I must be extremely lucky I guess, cause neither of us have ever had a damaged pack arive, and we've given them more than our share of opportunity. Lol. They have an excellent warranty policy, so it should turn out fine in the end, but lame that they keep having to waste packs and shipping expenses like this.
Im sure the staff at HobbyCity have
yours and
Methys names above the packing bench so when orders are packed the manager is alerted so he can check each item individually, their kids schooling futures are on the line if you two stop buying from there! the mail is you and
Methy are puting a couple of the HobbyCity employees kids through
Stanford hehehe...I have put in a claim havent heard anything back yet, i offered to pay freight back but insisted they pick up the return bill for freight as this is THEIR error not mine nor the freight company's. See how that works out....prolly not good...either way more delays.
YPedal man... should of bought a spare just in case i guess would of been the smarter option HECK i could of used the extra if not needed as a replacement to power the Linear Actuators rather than tapping into the main pack..live and learn i guess, im not one for alot of fore thought unfortunately im more the jump in without much thought type... :: sigh :: I have inherited this bad purchasing trait from my father, more often than not anything he bought was either damaged & broken or just plain didnt work at all...He was the original '
Mr Warranty Claim' so i have sort of grown used to it now.
7.30am in OZ now,
Matt.P will be up with the rest of the 'goodies' in a few hours so ill report back with pics of my NEW FORK and belts and pulleys setup, at least ...:: crosses fingers:: i will have a full drive train by days end!!!
Cheers fellas...
