I felt like I didn’t have the acceleration I should have on dry gears. Then when I greased the new set of gears those seemed to deliver a fair bit more acceleration by feel even though they are the same teeth.
I think it’s a combination of tire size and small pinion. There’s a lot of forces going through the teeth due to the tire size. Stooge setups do run 12T and such but then they have a smaller tire so for the same acceleration they can just have more motor RPM and lower motor torque to achieve the same speeds. I am actually considering moving to mod2 later down the line.
I’m curious how mod 2 is gonna sound. Stooge gears are mod 1.5 and they already sounds pretty gnarly. My guess is mod 2 is gonna have an even deeper growl when accelerating.
Had a great first ride. Everything felt super stable to me but still very maneuverable. Huge thanks to @Titoxd1000 for solid trucks here.
Took things slow and didn’t push hard as I wanted to make sure I get a feel for the board and new geometry.
I started out at a pretty ridiculous psi of 45. Was quickly convinced to drop it. Went down to 25, figure I’ll drop it even more down to 15 for my next ride.
Only complaint is my MT12. I have no idea how to program it! Luckily I was given a solid starter profile for it, but would eventually like to adjust my acceleration curves, but it seems like a whole different world. To YouTube I go for tutorials.
Biggest consensus among others that rode was it needed to be longer. I think I’m going to ride it a bit longer before I change anything though. I’m overall very happy with the board.
Huge thanks to @Skyart for getting me up and running with solos and massive thanks to @dskate for helping me with all kinds of odds and ends along the way.
