Jimmy Connolly has one in Costa Mesa. In talks with Gialong to secure the buy
I wouldn’t doubt the new S narrower front truck offering increased nimbleness either, tho. That b interested if the the original Mach 1 could benefit with narrower front hangar, just some thoughts but my geometry is not so good on skate analysis. I leave that with the skate pros.
You can flip the wheels around backwards to narrow the track width, dunno how they would feel with the rubber holes facing out tho, might get a bit spongy
I know someone who has one
Anyone else enjoying their new Radium underwear? They are so comfy I think I want to order 5 of them

I never got RTS fitted to my Genesis board so it’s still in a ‘raw’ configuration, on a lower tooth count it’s a slide and burnout monster board, more tuned for paths and trails than open road but more than capable at both.
The production Mach 1 I got with the ‘fastest’ tooth count and the set up is more for high speed road use. Runs. The RTS is in its element there, feeling it assist is comfortable. Not so much for me in gravel but in all fairness, I’ve not done much by way of trying.to set it.up for it either.
It’s good to have a comparison board to be able to feel the difference. I like the raw nature for gravel and trails and refined RTS performance for road if that makes sense?

Yeah RTS is not ideal in the rough stuff, bump zooms are real

245kv race motors with motor amps set above 140+ is a whole other world at any speed on the mach 1. It drives and accelerates like a sports car and devours long inclines. It’s a commuting machine for sure. Ride Safe!
I am curious how the Darkstar motors compare if applied to these original mach 1 in 245 kv form. It will be interesting to see if there will be an upgrade kit for the mach 1 for a refresh in the future. At a certain minimum skill, the Mach 1 kinda drives itself. Pushing limits is optional 
RTS can be incredible for off-road but you have to adjust it. Normally I just turn the strength down by around half. You also have to be deliberate about your front truck angle to manage which wheel the power is going to.
RTS was on with strength at 40% for this ride and it was a huge help. You can see the inside wheel spinning up on some of the berms which helped to find traction and keep the outside wheel from losing grip.
We do need to add setting presets so you can setup a dedicated off-road mode. That is one of the features intended for the elusive V2 app update.

Indeed, i’m sure that with the right settings it would present an advantage… until preset modes come along though, i’m gonna leave mine as it is!

I can wait for the update haha, love high risk street riding
. With the heat I actually been to the indoor roller rink lately, AC and all
. Yeah, quad skates and all. Yup I am full of surprises and will try many good things at least once. As soon as my health permits and acclimated , will go back out on Mach One for a local ride.
How long did you wait for your Mach One Tow Handle?
I’m waiting for mine until April the 26th…
I ordered mine April 18th and it delivered June 7th to the US. Takes quite a while

I’ve just received mine! What’s the purpose of the M5 washers?
The 8 mm screws are M4 and I can’t see why washers would be needed.

I assumed they were to spread the load from the shoulder of the cap head screw a little bit more

That’s what I would have thought of M4 large washers for M4 screws. But the M5 washers are strange in this case, although you must be right.
Socket cap screws with socket cap washers or countersunk head screws with countersunk cup washers will make a better job.
Not a big deal. The handle is great!

Yeah i agree, when i installed mine I had to take care to try and keep the washers centered on the screw while tightening. Might look for some m4 shc fender washers to replace them!

The new dark star motors have better cooling and 10% more power when compared to 6485?
How will the dark star compare to the mad/radium 6495 in terms of cooling and power?
