That’s so lame. They should mention that they are different and since they didn’t they should sell the baseplate
Literally my exact thoughts. I had no idea they were different, as its mentioned NOWHERE.
But, live and learn. Now we know.

Are you saying the difference in ride height is what is causing your trucks to be unstable?

The geometry of the height difference in the red and blue top plates on the trucks is the only difference in my board, and the other 2. Only thing i can think of. Because everything else is the same. Same trucks, same tip angles, only thing different is the height of the top plate.
So not the ride height, but more so the plate height.

Aren’t we talking about the same thing? Taller plate =more ride height. Same as adding riser plates? Seems like everyone riding a lonestar should have the exact same issues, as those plates were stock on all lonestars?

No, because the risers change geometry differently than the height of the plate. It actually fixes the probelm, but i dont like the look personally, lol.

The lonestars boards have a different tip angle than the kalys/trampas, which is whats causing an issue.

So here we are 3 years later, i went to ride and noticed the board was at 9% charge and i never leave it that low.
Also my rx now has no response.
So i open up the enclosure, replace the rx and everything looks good. Put the enclosure back on, test it evening is great…
But my flipsky antispark switch will not turn the power off. I wait, it didn’t time out.
Turns out my antispark switch failed on. Pretty sure that’s why my rx died.
Anyone else have any issues with the flipsky 200a enhanced version failing?

Can you explain the “Oil impregnated Bushings”?
So you drilled small holes in the riptide bushings and put oil in them for better carving yet just as stable high speed?
No not at all, the oil impregnated bushings are bronze and they go where the through both attaches to the base plate. Has nothing to do with the riptide bushings.

Are the cells low capacity enough to take on a plane individually?

They are welded in groups of 4, so the brick of 4 cells is under 100wh. So yes they are airline friendly as long as you pack them in carry on and insulate the terminals and carry them in a fire proof bag
We need a thread to teach that procedure.
