What a handsome fella. Look, he is thinking about dicks. Don’t you just want to give him beer and tell him that it’s okay to spend all you money on skateboard parts?
I don’t need your approval. Im a man.
I’m not approving, I’m reassuring.

Haha good catch. I always pronounce it with a “Z” when I talk about it…
something really strange happened today, i was coming home from a friend and while i was going downhill i tried to brake and the brakes delayed for almost 2 seconds before sending input, i got super caught off guard first by them not working and then suddenly full brake after 2 seconds, wasnt going super fast but had to run off the board to not fall wtf
but on the good side i met this fella on the way back
sounds like a signal issue of some kind?
happened in two different locations, the remote was on like 30% so maybe that but i dont see why that would affect it
Anyone ridden a Backfire Ranger X2? I had a go on one the other day and was very underwhelmed, there felt like a big lag at startup and relatively little torque even when it kicked in a bit. My little bucket-o-spares board ran circles around it and I think had more range (with my long-suffering 216Wh vs his two week old 454Wh)
I rode one briefly, not much to say about other than the fact it felt like a standard prebuilt from 3 years ago. Smooth and not particularly powerful, but pretty good for that era.
Maaaan I’ve been eyeballing the Ranger X2/X3 big hub motor wheels for so long. I want a “stealth” big wheel board so bad
it’s very meh, yeah. big hubs n whatnot
Yeah I had been watching them a while ago, glad I didn’t go for them in the end. I guess 4wd might not be bad and you could get away with smaller ESCs because they’re not powerful, but it sounds like a pain
Have you ridden them? I haven’t tried them, but it’s tough to imagine they’d feel anywhere near as nice as real pneumies.
I have not. They’re just the only option, so i lust…
No, they’re not real pneummies, but at least the dia alone means they’d survive better than thane on my wasteland streets.
If someone made pneumatic hub motors, I’d be so down for that.
I guess that is basically TBDD with AT wheels… but that didn’t work out so well 
4" hub scooter motors exist… can’t be that hard to swap axles
