What's up with the 330V4S? I only had an ipv4 for a few days then sold it.

What's up with it? Well.. it works fine more or less? Does TC very well. It has a range of bugs like the memories don't save in Joules mode and get overwritten in Power mode. But it does TC fine. Just there's no word on any FW updates to either fix the bugs or, preferably, add Ti support or anything else.
Welp, it's for sale in the classifieds.
The chip isn't bad but I'm not a fan of the form factor of the SXM. Too many sharp edges still (from the SX) and too heavy. It's not worth having in my collection but I would like a SX350j mod so I ordered a Boxer mod.

I'd be happy with SS and Ti. It's a lot easier to build with than Ni200 and I can get grade 1 Ti for free through a contact at work.
Yeah with SS and Ti added I'll be thinking hard about whether I want to get an SX Mini M. I've always thought it's way overpriced, but maybe a good deal on a used one. Or just the SX350J in a random box.
Having another SS mod in particular would be nice. Not that I really need it.. but, y'know

YiHi claims to have addressed the finish issues on the newer models, clearly they have the wrong address, here's a shot of mine after 2 weeks of in and out of my empty mod only pocket, and 1 week of the 2 it had the silicone sleeve on it…no bueno on a $200 mod and no point in returning it for obvious reasons. When it gets real bad I'll put my own quality finish on it.
Polyester-epoxy powder coatings are far more durable than polyester powder coatings. I used polyesters primarily but the epoxys were so hard I could throw a metal part across a concrete floor and not scratch it. If the metal is not cleaned immaculately before coating it will not take properly and will not be as good as a rattle can job. I've had chunks of powder coating fly off of my brand new fitness equipment delivering an order on a flat bed trailer to Daytona Beach before. I tried repairing the paint but eventually replaced the whole gym order at my expense.
Yeah - I do know that if Powder Coat does get chipped it is really difficult to repair it and make it look good. But it does have some good qualities like it resistance to han wear and such. Guess nothing is perfect but whatever YiHi used wasn't even close to perfect but so far knock one wood mine is holding up pretty well. Only one tiny little scratch and I have no Idea how I managed to do that. I treat it like a baby.
I'm curious as to whether the zinc substrate is part of the problem with coating adherence. Zinc has a very "flakey" oxide and I don't know if paint inherently adheres well to it. Does anyone have some experience with that?

Has anyone disassembled they're SX ?, just wondering if any of the internals are glued or epoxied in place, if so I'll likely leave it alone.
I don't know where I saw it but someone posted a picture of theirs opened up. I didn't see any glue or such but the poster mentioned that the battery tube was attached to the clam shell portion. But in the picture he posted you could only see the two wires coming from the "C" section to the Clam Shell section.
It did look like it was extremely easy to at least separate the clam shell portion from the "C" section without fear of harming anything to take a look.
I haven't disassembled mine but I have seen pictures online of an open SXM and I don't remember seeing any glue of any kind. I also seem to remember someone mentioning that even the board itself was held in place with screws. My memory could be shaky so someone else who has looked themselves would have more valid comments.

George:
We must have been typing at the same time.

That's funny. When I saw your post I was thinking to myself didn't I just say that.
KTM must keep a data base of SX posts. I did make a quick search but I never can find anything on ECF once it is more than a few post back.

Yeah, I think ECF is gonna rename search to "lost"

In this case, the metal tubing was not cleaned of it's factory protective coating before it was powder coated and the wind blew the nice shiny powder coat flakes off in 2 to 6 inch pieces...
Wish I had thought of that. Even with ECF old forum-ware the search engine hated me and the new I have trouble finding my profile page.
