Don’t zealous have those extra warts stuck to the sides of them like someone accidentally got the spacers welded there. better to use real bearings. :smiley: :stuck_out_tongue: :trolleybus:

They are the best, no fucking with spacers and washers

I fucking love zealous. I haven’t done any maintenance on mine since i got them in july 2018. Countless of rides through rain, snow, mud. Basically every possible season you could throw at them and they
still roll forever.

Don’t forget your orange nipples! Most important part of any DIY

Might look into Zealous, decided to go a drop-through for my second board instead though.

Much like my very first esk8 the Evolve BGT but better, so the Duo didn’t make the cut.

GLWS though Jared, it’s still a very excellent and adaptable entry into the market.

Zealous steel or ceramic?

Steel of course

Real quick review on the BKB Duo kit. I’ll be working on a video review tomorrow where I talk about it’s performance, possible improvements for beginning DIY and intermediate DIY, etc.

  • It’s super fucking long like wtf? I didn’t measure it but it’s about 40 inches. Longer than my Evo.
  • Yup. It’s a glossy ABS enclosure.
  • Everything is included in the kit and all very easy to assemble. It’s mind-nimbingly easy.
  • Deck is super flexy. I hate the yellow color. Comes with clear griptape. Very slight concave and the enclosure is bolted through instead of having inserts (which is a good call for this flex of a deck)
  • FSESC dual 4.20 is already paired with the VX1 remote

Here’s some photos of the internals after it’s all put together

Flipsky 4.2 is reliable? genuine question, i’ve only heard one other opinion on this and he wasnt too fond of it. i’m just looking for something for budget builds so

I have about 3 builds running on the dual 4.20+ and I haven’t run into issues though many others will disagree. But the general consensus is that it’s probably best to keep it under 30A

Keep in mind: it’s never my first choice dual ESC but it works

I would suggest Maker-X over Flipsky for a budget setup.
