I swear, something about group rides and this board. I’ve got more track miles then group ride miles, but every board failure has happened on a group ride 
Went on a group ride on Saturday, somehow I lost two locknuts on the rear truck. Thank god @HAIRYMANJACK pointed out that my rear truck was moving all over the place, because I didn’t even feel it.
Thanks to the great crew that I was riding with, we had the tools to steal a bolt from my front trucks so I could finish the ride. Thanks @TheSharpergardner for having those Allen keys. 
I swapped out all the hardware when I got home for some button head bolts of proper length. Thanks @Titoxd1000 for those.
While I was at it, I spent a couple hours this weekend to properly panel-mount my XT60 charge port. 3D printed a little plug to fit into the existing enclosure hole. Unfortunately, there’s a p-group right behind it, so the XT60 had to be off-center. Not the prettiest thing in the world, but it’s functional!
Also swapped over my gear ratio from 4.4 to 5.5. This will make my top speed a more reasonable ~45 mph (used to be ~60mph). Hopefully I don’t blow up my motor’s bearings.
I didn’t loctite my previous set of pinions, so the motor pinions came off super easy, no torch needed. I was told previous people have had issues with no loctite, so was really happy to see there was not any kind of wear or damage inside the drives.
Swapping both sides only took like 30 minutes, including re-loctite’ing all the bolts. I love these jump drives.
Obvious statement alert: 5.5 is WAY torquier then 4.4, feels like a new board. You Electrify Expo San Francisco Modified riders are in trouble- I want that podium 
Put some black Gaffers tape over the Lacroix in the middle of the deck. I think it looks better without it, the white letters popped a little too much. Plus, @Titoxd1000 deserves all the credit for how awesome this board is. Tito hmu when you get some Tito system stickers so I slap em there
Incredibly fortunate to have such a great community of riders to ride with. From an i2s OC session last week;
