Those colors are so freshhh
Just a heads up - in some Vsett 10+ models, the hole at the back that you sealed is already sealed in some models. I opened up mine (to replace a damaged deck) and found that they'd already sealed it from the factory.
I suspect they designed one half and then mirrored it during the design phase - the same approach can be seen with the covers which hold the lighting. They all seem to have cable routing holes, even though the cables don't route into all of them.
I'm not sure if the horn was sealed on mine, but I opted to use some Gorilla tape over the front instead. It's a quicker solution (no curing time) and will prevent any water or debris from entering in the first place. It will reduce the volume of the horn, but as we're all aware, the horn is very weak to begin with.
Thank you, like you say that horn is a definite issue. I did in the end put helicopter tape over that hole whilst filming another project.
Decent comment and right up to the point!
@@escootermodificationguides2149hey there brother how did you get your Vsett10+ in them colors that is rad….from EAST LA, CALIFORNIA
I bought mine from PET London, had the deck off and was sealed with thin strip of clear silicone, mostly around rear kick plate and front arm. Also inside the deck screws. Thanks for the video will be re sealing before UK winter comes 👍👍
We need more videos like this.
👍 Nicely done!!! ❤
Thank you! 😊
update on the waterproofing ability of this method in your experience, since mine might be different - if you still use the scooter
So far for me I've had a blast of a time sending this scoot through the heavy rains of Seattle Washington! I actually traded the OneWheel GT for the VSETT10+r! Straight trade but I still have the hyper charger, fender delete and extra gt bumpers.
I was wondering if you got any problems with yet? I never ride in the rain and I Will if Im sure my vsett will be ok
@@ndygwap6100 no problems.
Thank You! Merci bien!
vous êtes les bienvenus
Does it matter if the yellow plugs get switched up?
I use flex seal silicone sealant.
Are you upgrading the water proofing here, or is this to replace original seals that were stripped for painting/ other work?
If raising water resistance from original, can there be any heat complications during hot weather caused by sealing every crevice? Is air flow a consideration? Thank you.
Hi, so the rear had to be re-sealed yes but the front wires going through from the stem were a issue as the spring containing them had rusted pretty bad. a sign that it had been wet.. i also think the Horn hole is a entry point for water, so ive sealed mine with helicopter tape.
As for heat I don't think there is a issue with overheating. I ride pretty hard at times and the controller has a thermal cut out that hasn't kicked in? the controller sits on the biggest heat sink in the form of a aluminium gear tray.
Hope that helps
@@escootermodificationguides2149 Hi, yes, very helpful, thank you.
Hot topic for me! Was having the same thought when I was sealing my vsett 10!
How did you disconnect the connectors from the battery, did the overall speed or settings in the PC not be erased (ODO)?
The battery unplugs. I did check the P setting and everything was back to defualt, apart from odometer.
Just wondering if some of the holes are there for venting the heat that come the from the battery?
Its more the controllers that will get hot, and as they are mounted in a gear tray of ally that dissipates the heat. No holes are for cooling on a scooter like this. HTH
@@escootermodificationguides2149 thanks for the feed back, nice job on the mods.
How'd you get that color vsett? Thought they were all yellow and black?
haha, its certainly unique. i resprayed it to match a motorsport heritage brand.
@@escootermodificationguides2149 McLaren?
Hi David, i just loved the colour scheme from the Mclaren F1 run at monaco this year, so this is my replication on a scooter.
Nice looking scooter and wish they do trailer hitch attachments be bonus setup for fishing,ect and hope everyone ride safe may God blessed your families cheers 🙏🌎
Thanks .. when it sparks .. what does that mean ..
The initial spark is caused by the scooters controller drawing a load be via its coils or capacitor in the invertors inside. nothing to worry about. It does it every time, but still takes me by surprise.
@@escootermodificationguides2149 lol .. cool 😎
@@escootermodificationguides2149 they could just use antispark conectors. but I guess the system is not expected to be disconected and conected back again too often anyway.
Is that totally enough ? What about seal under deck? I guess gasket is not enough. Motors should be sealed too?
You could seal the deck down onto the metal gear-tray, however I wouldn't as your snap the deck should you ever need to get under there in future. Once compressed the seal would be ample unless your submerging it.
The only thing i would add is the horn is located right behind the front wheel, it has a hole for the sound to come out and this i noticed whilst filming my gas strut video actually gets soaked by spray. That is a terrible design I.M.O, so i covered the external hole with helicopter tape. I'm thinking about installing a better horn externally but actually don't want anything so loud that makes people jump or startles dogs when your coming up behind them.
As for the Motors i have seen a decent Vid on youtube that covers that. i have linked it here:

zero space left for aditional modules...
theres zero space in there from the factory. nothing new is in there.
Bro please remove the music or lower it down 😤 I can't hear what you're saying properly you have a British accent it's not very easy to understand with the music so loud
