thereās other thigns at speed that can start your wobbles too likeā¦ ESCs performing differently at full pin on each side. max duty_cycle edge conditionsā¦ thereās threads around here about that stuff.
I find that weight distribution on acceleration can be quite difficult. The best thing I can suggest is to keep your back leg as straight as it can be, while leaning forward with your front leg almost squatting.
This allows your back leg to act as a brace against the acceleration, while keeping your weight over your front foot.
Itās definitely a challenge, but worth practicing for sure.
I have found 2 things to help, I love doing 25-55 mph pulls and my board will chuck me off even if Iām prepared so this is something I have lots of experience with. The real fix is bushings, I basically have rocks as my rear pushing which solves the stability problem, I just put as much weight to the front as I can but obviously inertia will try to keep more to the back. The second is either to use bindings or do something that takes a LOT of faith (stupidity) and grab the front of your board pull the front of your body down, shove your front foot into the deck, lock your back leg and slam the throttle. It works extremely well, however, you need an incredible amount of faith in your skills, board, and know the road really well since you basically cant see or react.
My only issue with super hard rear bushings is that it makes it way easy to lift the rear wheels on hard turns. I feel like a much lower steering angle and softer bushings would counter this
Yeah, absolutely, personally I dont have any issue above 10ish mph but at lower speeds, I canāt turn and any turn I get the opposite wheel to the direction of turn will lift off the ground. I was thinking about getting a dewedge riser and that will probably be next along with a set of maybe 80a riptides instead of my 90a, maybe even softer, I am currently addicted to passing cars in a 45mph zone though and I have gotten super comfortable on this setup.
Is this deck as dreamy in person as it is in pictures?
Itās pretty epic! Throwing it together with parts i have to test ride soon. Hopefully by this weekend .
Itās final form will be some time off still.
Soooo sick. Canāt wait to hear thoughts.
Speed wobbles huh, I thought stooge trucks couldnāt get those lol
Glad you survived alright tho
Edit: I see you got some good advice. When I set up my stooge trucks I guess Iāll check with some pros first
Split angles FTW
Is that one of our decks in the wild? If so, you mind I use the image?
What battery pack you go in that?
Yep go for it man . Added a set of bindings so had to do a loop of my river run test track.
Looks great mate, perfect machine for around the river.
Monster battery?
Built my own 12s8p brick from 21700 cells. So far Iāve got a range of about 80km from it
Living the dream!
I reckon!
Living the dream was fucking exhausting Got home monday night and ive been sleeping 12hrs a night since.
i know the feeling.
Finally someone with good connectors, I love d-sub. Such a good standard. JST is such finicky bs sometimes.
