I dont like the most powerful to. But i dont think anyone made a 18S 4WD with this high KV motors and low gearing. I dont think its possible to ride in 175km/h to, the tyres will probably blow at 140km/h even if i still stand on it. But im sure this board can ride faster then any other so far.

And about somone said it will fall apart, I build similar setup for high performance boards 100 times now, I know whats working and not. Its more about if i dare riding that fast. But it felt comfortable on 50 mph so i think i can dare some more atleast. If i dont dare I just find someone more crazy then me.

And yes i will not state any record without stuff like metr log or radar.

What is the record at the moment? 62mph?

Anyone think it’d be good for @mackann to practice bailing with leathers? Could save your life learning to bail like a penguin in leathers, but could be risky for the shoulder injury…Kudos btw on this, that board is wicked sexy. Can you tell us about the split angles you’re running? Looks like that front truck is at 5 degrees or something??

Just wanna say I have MAD respect for what you’re doing JUST PLEASE DON’T DIE :pray: :pray:

I think he’s crazy. Seems too dangerous to me to try it on at wheels and anything but a flat smooth surface.

He must love the adrenaline though for trying. I imagine those wheels must be well balanced and trucks setup reasonably tight. Probably not much of a carving board.

With this setup I really wonder how fast it is off the line. I imagine it to be pretty slow. Perhaps comparable to the likes of a meepo board.

Well done for trying and be safe. If anything feels off while trying please stop and check.

Tbh i didn meassure angle yet, I just took a low angle and tested it since its very easy to adjust. Will try find what works best when I have more time to ride it.

Thanks I will try be careful!

I was worried about this to, I have some 6396 140kv i did plan to install if it was to low. But the acceleration was still good, still stronger then most dual 6355 12s i tested, I gues i can thank 4wd for that

I believe the unofficial record is like 74 mph. I remember Moe telling me about going for it. They have some great video of him going for it in the salt lake beds before eating it.

@MoeStooge What was the fastest you ever hit? @Lucifer does 60 mph for breakfast.
