It could have been left at that..
is it really outdated Radium have built something, not even intended as a race board that beat 2 SRB boards? One of them 4wd if I recall correctly… how is it outdated if it’s podium material?
The Mach 1 is an incredibly stable board that I personally feel very safe on and I can’t wait for the new one to be released. Further I REALLY can’t wait to see what Dylan can do with a purpose built Radium Race board under his feet…
I’d say it’s because there have been more advances in trucks, including other than SRB, than RKP. If RKP was the move when it comes to our racing we would see a whole lot more boards running them as they’re more easily available, more compatible with other parts and cheaper typically. All the more reason why it’s impressive the Mach 1 is up there. The most important component is always the rider and Dylan is an incredible rider. RKP can perform sure but I think there are better setups for racing to me.
I hope to see those other truck types come to the podium soon. I really do and surprised to not have seen more already to be honest, however the radium setup can probably hardly be thought about as traditional RKP, the whole package makes it quite far from that.
What is wrong with RKP, how is it outdated? Don’t those crazy downhill suicidal speed demons ride on RKPs with bearings on the kingpin and hanger? No problem I will find out as I have a set of Rogues on the way 
And I love the Radium Mach One as it is the most thoughtfully engineered machine for the way I use it and I believe others who have experienced it as well know what I feel. What is important to me is the outright performance limit, followed by its resilient and safe design that equals its outright performance. What you wind up with is a reliable, fully engineered product that lasts and lasts, unlikely to let you down when you really depend on it. I ran through heavy monsoon that left me completely drenched, rode it like submarine. The Mach One does not let you down 
It required literally no setup, fully turnkey, with a luxury feel. The FedEx guy delivered it with care like they knew without even opening it up, that something special was in that box, twice over. This board is a jack of many trades and it does all of them exceptionally well- From exciting street carving, to reliable transportation, to outright blitzing past peasants on bicycles (Kidding about the peasants- I am proud caretaker of a 18 pound Schwinn Paramount race bicycle). What more can you want? The Mach one is not a second board to own, it should be the first board as it lasts and lasts. It makes most other boards seem like experiments partially developed and still under test phase. The Mach One is a fully fashioned thoroughly designed end user level product IMO. Ok theres my info-mercial. Good Eve
Long live esk8! Let’s unite, that way we’ll be stronger! Let’s take OneHwell as an example, which is a national federation!
Well said. I do think a lot of higher performing electric skateboards are experiments advertised as a finished product.
I have friends working in some of the most popular production board companies, who express their concern to me about the lack of testing and rushed nature of these products. Especially when the marketing strategy is to crank out new models constantly.
Although i favor the nkp’s for most situations there’s been times I’ve felt a severe disadvantage. Rough slippery surfaces riding on a solid heim with a steel deck and foam tyres I would be working hard to stay upright feeling every bump and vibration skipping all over the place. Only to be gapped by someone looking like they’re out to get milk on rtkp just enjoying that extra compliance of bushing compression and pneumatics. Ive never had a chance to push a mach 1 but the combination of rkp and the swingarms always appealed to me for this reason. Would be a no brainer if I needed a board capable on and off the track.
My thoughts exactly, I owned a few other boards and while I see pros/cons of each, the Mach One stands out for the presentation and overall owner experience. I’m not pushing high speeds while riding. My main driver for the board was the suspension and most of the other solutions seemed incorrect, leading to poor riding feedback.
The concept of a swingarm, while keeping the precision carving of an RKP, was done entirely differently. There are small things as well, the charger connector, switch placement, rubber wheels, 28mm bearings, and the Radium app.
It’s also great to have the discussion here with the Radium team; having a direct answer on why something was designed builds trust that this wasn’t a random decision.
I think in the market, Rev and Radio deliver this very well. Liam and Ethan aren’t great technicians, you have to respect that!
Oh yes, Phantom X is great and Ethan is pushing some awesome tech.
Bro is second hand offended assuming the use of the word “Outdated” is somehow backhanded. There’s for sure some animosity there deeper than an interpretation of the word.
PEVs grow exponentially. The fastest EUC 2 years ago is now outdated and basically obsolete for competition. Nothing wrong with saying it. shrug
means I’m getting old I had to wear my reading glasses to work that gland . I’m just about to program the VESC
Can we see a picture of the Mach One with the tow handle?
I had doubts doing a DIY motor swap, not that I lack ability, but because so many products are sold half baked and leaves the end user with nothing but confusion and empty performance promises. Well engineered and industrialized products don’t leave the customer hanging much, they simply work as intended or even better once familiarized. I can easily claim for every dollar I have spent on Radium Performance’s items have exceeded global class expectation. This motor swap is a prime example of that great engineering and execution. These parts work fully as intended down to the screw, enhancing the experience- And the 205kv motors I removed are still as tight and smooth after 1000 miles(keep as a spare for now). When you’ve got it you’ve got it. That secret sauce for development and execution/ follow through is uber rare, whether it be industrialising an infrastructure solution, or a transportation or recreation solution, or more serious applications, the few that work very very hard, coupled with some talent and some luck, always shine. Thanks a bunch!
