Board update - 9” tires and range test.
Now running trampa’s 9” mudplugger on phatlads at 25psi. These add a significant amount of cushion when I bunny hop or run over things. Mostly, they are better for the loose dirt I frequently finding myself riding. Less likely to dig in and make me eat shit. It still happens, just less than with the 8” tires.
Only downside is they aren’t as smooth of a ride on road, but I can swap back to the 8” tires for that. The 8” shit slinger are on MBS rockstar ii hubs for hot swap on the jump drives.
I got 32 miles of range out of 80 cells. Most of this was road and trail riding but I did do about 8 miles of gnarly loose hill off rod area climbing to get to the view of the valley.
The 9” tires make me want to go really fast. Also, bunny hopping over ruts in the road is quite hard with a 50lb board.
