close enough:

but it really isn’t that much cheaper than a legit loaded vanguard

if only I could actually get a loaded vanguard… On ebay they go for over $200 it seems.

$200 isn’t terrible for a name-brand deck. It’s on the high side, but still not terrible. I mean, it’s not great. $250 - $700 i’d say is terrible like a lot of the decks I was just looking at last week :imp:

Maybe try putting a Want to Buy post on r/longboarding and someone will have a used one.

its a used boosted v1 deck… i dont think thats a good deal lol. ill check reddit

Oh LoL then you’re paying for the Boosted name. Try finding a regular loaded brand one.

id probably want flex 3/4 considering im 200lbs…

probably 3 as thats what boosted uses.

lol
ownboard site, wowgo text.

the wowgo 3/3x deck is sick.

How flat is the deck? Any concave?

well, to be fair, wowgo and ownboard used to be one company :joy: they pretty much have the same product

worth?

does anyone know what kind of wires this uses and if I can reuse the run wires/replace them?

The boosted deck uses copper braid, if I recall. There are Youtube videos on it from years back, check there

Diyeboards is a HUGE no no. I definitely agree.

As @BenjaminF has written perfectly, lower pulse will lower speed and torque. You may have to raise throttle curve to get a good start, but duty cycle is limited (as in the given power, since it can still show the same speed as if you’re on speed mode 3 flipped on a bench) and you won’t have the same speed/torque as mode 2 or 3, even if the throttle curve was changed.
