Dooo etttt 
Would your weight have anything to do with your experience with the flex on the deck? Isnāt there more than one option for the flex?

Yes, youāre used to your board having no issues with all that. Other people are used to their board not being able to do what they want

Itās most definitely the weight 
though its supposedly good up to 240 for Flex 1. Anything over 240 is for Flex 2
I do want to mention that whatever this TrueFlex is, it does seem springier? Like the vanguard, exway flex, and other clones seem to just sag or bounce you back up. This resembles more of a rigid rebound I guess
@ShutterShock yea I was mostly impressed with the connectors they added. It was all mindful, they knew exactly what connectors worked best. I didnāt mention this in the video but I actually removed all the nylon braid and some of the heat shrink to check the soldering or any conformal. The soldering was done really well but there wasnāt any conformal which was fine.

Thatās super cool. I probably wouldnāt buy one of these but it would be cool to see in person / try out

Yea I think my options are: ask @yelnats8j skin my deck so itās a little more stuff and build everything from the ground up or sell it and get my $1000 back

Thanks for the write up @Jujo I definitely respect your opinion.
TBH Iām not trying to sell kits to anyone on here (unless they are brand new). DIY is such a small market compared to pre-builts. Iām trying to bridge the gap between an entry level DIY and the under powered pre-built boards. I think it does this really well, and is a great value for the price.
Regarding your range, that will happen when your full out the whole time. Using the speed upgrade kit will definitely help you get a few extra miles.

Oh totally man! I figured if you were to try to cater to just us DIY people, it would be a hot mess. I definitely think you guys did the right thing with this board and I especially appreciate how simple it was to put together. I remember sealing it all up and almost crying from joy because I didnāt need to set up vesc tool or solder anything

HAH oh the joys of fiddling with that

Iām gonna be honest here and I feel like itās gonna disqualify me as a diy but I havenāt used vesc tool in 3 years maybe? I used Ackmaniacs when I had focboxes and then upgraded to Unity and never looked back lol Iām spoiled as hell

Jujo,
I enjoyed the review and all that. Iāve had the same board with the 97mms. It was a nice introduction to DIY and a place to start from. I got the standard deck and weigh 185-190lb. Deck is bouncy AF. I hit a concrete/pavement seam on acceleration (leaning forward) and I launched at about 22mph Superman style. I was all padded up, and the only things destroyed were my remote and my ego so itās all good. I went back and inspected the bump that got me an Iām mostly shocked it happened, really an insignificant little seam. It kinda killed my confidence in the deck setup and the wheels. The other two guys I was riding with didnāt have any trouble with it. Iāve concluded that the aesthetic is weird and I will be changing the deck and enclosure as soon as I can save a couple hundred backs. Maybe 12s4p while Iām at it. Iām not salty about it tho. I think the leftover parts will be a nice for one of the spare boards (that someone else is riding)

YES. FINALLY someone else who has similar opinion. Yea man, Iām 180 and Iām with you there lol. Also welcome to the forum! Get out while you still have money.
Anyways, there are a good number of ways we can improve on the board:
- Have someone skin the deck with a layer of CF to stiffen it slightly. Cost: $200
- (If youāre not using the AT wheels) move the trucks inward by about an inch. Cost: Free
- Ditch the deck, battery, enclosure altogether. Transfer ESC and drivetrain onto a decent board and buy a new battery enclosure. Cost: $500+
Im still on the fence if I wanna sell it, give it to a friend, or have @yelnats8j skin my deck

I was very confused on why Jared decided on this long long deck and such a tiny battery compartment especially if he had the option of adjusting the flex of the deck with the factory.

It is noticeably longer than any of the other boards (meepo, ownboard, exway, etc) with a single enclosure. In my opinion, a split enclosure type deal or a longer thinner enclosure would have been better. Thatās just my opinion. Itās very awkward to hold and carry because itās so back heavy

whatās the wheel base of the board, in stock truck position
