So after the maiden voyage, the board was blessed with her forever name… NimbleStiff
Incredibly nimble, super stiff and a shitload of fun. The dynamics of the narrow front truck are really cool, it’s stable AF at speed, but still suuuuper responsive, TKPs are a load of fun.
The weird noise that was happening must have just been the belts needing to settle, cos it went away pretty quickly.
The torque and braking power were surprisingly good and wh/km is my most efficient board i’ve built to date.
Really happy with how this project has come together, so glad that the vision became the reality and it works and rides exactly as intended.
Frothing.

What bushings have you on there?

Just the stock bushings from SZ.
Got a large selection of Riptide bushings coming for the shop, so I’ll likely have a play once I have a good feel for the board as it is.

Ducks have feet. Their feet are featherless. Ipso facto ducks get wet

Enjoy

Got my wheel settings sorted so metr rings true now. Finished on like 5% battery so thats about as good as a range test gets. 27km cruising, not bad for a flogged out old raptor pack.
Only one mishap… wondered why i couldn’t turn…
Didnt even notice those bolts were there 
easy fix tho and gladly no damage.

looks like those bolts have to carry your whole drive train, no? 
Would try titan bolts “IF” so 
They hold the hanger together. Titanium bolts can suck my dick. Steel will be just fiiiine. They just need loctite

That would leave big scars on your dick

You underestimate the strength and hardness of my dick.

Steel is stronger than ti, about double the max tension it can hold. Ti is just wayy lighter.
