Rider skill and confidence I’d imagine. Traction shouldnt be a huge concern assuming good road surface, torque is just up to how crazy you want to build your setup (and there are some insane people in the community)

if you’re not losing traction, you’re not pushing hard enough

A purpose built board be it for top speed, turning balance, off road or track racing can be by design to outperform and stand alone at any single function.
Making for overall performance and reliability is a challenge.
The human factor is what is always moving the bar. Top tier riders are constantly taxing the mechanical limits and balance of the machine. Cooperation and good rider feedback enables us to make small changes. New concepts and functions are tested and retested.
The end product as for the general rider is a platform to grow and expand abilities wirh confidence. A great product with fantastic adjustable performance, balance and grip where the limits are seemingly out of reach.
The guys track racing the V-5 continue to amaze. Just when you think you have a good handle on the overall picture a rider comes along, changes the game and shows you new possibilities.

Oh you got draggy. that sure makes it straightforward to measure. 
That’s in KPH?
as you pull up on that vehicle… i find myself thinking… damn i really need to set myself up with better braking.

lol. rotate the video.
Those jump drives starting to sound like straight cuts the way you ride them. I guess the 165mm wheels wheels would be the loudest setup - more tooth hits in any given distance.
