Help with Soloshot please?

Remove the battery, put it back in and throw it in the trash, uncle rico.

 

I saw some dude in OC with one of them. Sorry Hawk, I don't know anything about them

 

I have the original soloshot. Used it a bunch when I first got it and haven't used it since. Turned out watching myself surf isn't that exciting.

 

+1 sorry dude. try putting the battery in the other way maybe? idk...

Soloshot????

 

I had the same problem with mine. I sent it back to Soloshot they fixed it and it cost me the shipping to them.

 

Always wash your hands after a soloshot. It's just proper etiquette.

 

"Soloshot: Do YOU"

 

haha...totally agree! yeah i think i maybe saw three of those videos you made, watched both of us catch at least 30-50 waves each. My reaction was

a) yeah that's pretty much how i pictured myself surfing in small waves;
b) wow those days that seemed like semi-fun waist - stomach high waves were some weak-assed knee-thigh dribble...hard to believe we were getting the turns we got!

 

I have a Soloshot, too. My transmitter doesn't charge anymore. Turns out they don't offer any spare parts! Soloshot mailed me that they understand that I am disappointed but that they won't do anything about it. They offered me that I could pre-order the new Soloshot if I could provide a proof of purchase. Seems like Soloshot is a complete rip-off, there have been people waiting for 3 years that pre-ordered the Soloshot. They still didn't ship! The new version of the Soloshot looks nice in the videos. But what is it worth if you won't be able to buy any replacement parts in case you need them?! There is even a facebook group of dissatisfied clients: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1334926886586633/

Don't waste your money on Soloshot!

If there is anyone willing to sell his transmitter I might be interested. I guess chances are small, but who knows.

 

Damn. Solo shot has some pretty ****ty customer service.

 

I’ve been waiting for the new one to come out to try it, seems like it’s never gonna happen.

 

good to know, thanks

 

Did you get it wet , battery or solo ? put it a big of rice . If you have a volt meter or test light you could see if its the battery . As for the solo , maybe some electronic air spray , try to clean the connections and buttons , etc maybe they be dirty . but try checking battery first .

 

It’s the battery. I had the same issue as u described. I too called soloshot and hey pushed me to buy the new model. However, Replacing the batteries is not that complicated. you can buy a new battery on amazon or on eBay. Here is a pic of the battery with the lead that you need (below)...I bought a cheaper one and just soldered it to the soloshot leads and put some heat shrink on it. Took about 20 min to install and then took a full charge. PM me if you have any other questions...

Too bad Barry isnt around. I am sure he would provide specific, insightful instruction on how to "fix" your problem

 

Here I’ll fill in for Barry.

Stick the battery up your ass sideways, that’ll give you a charge.

 

lol. Good one, DP.
