yes this revel how much?
ok, so you were talking about a different video than the one that was immediately before your post.
So the Revel kit pricing is on thier website.

Good Thanks
Try swapping the front wheels and the drive wheels. Then try swapping adapters left to right. Thatās two seperate experiments. If the wobble stays with the same motor and axle then you either have a wobbly motor or a bent axle. You might have both. A bent axle could force a wobble into a motor and maybe the opposite could also happen.

Thanks! Iāll do that and report back
Iām not having any luck with my kit.
I swapped the front and back wheels and nothing else, never opened the motor or touched the electronics. Then wanted to go outside to give it a try
Immediately something wasnāt right. When I move the accel knob and let go, the wheel does a full stop. No free rolling for a bit, just stop.
So I reconnected the remote and it went back to normal
Went outside, on the board and started going. 20 seconds later the remote control started vibrating 2 or 3 times and I lost braking control. Looked at it and it said something like āvoltage lowā and a split-second later switched to ādisconnectedā. I almost missed the actual error message.
I managed to foot-brake, inspected the board and the battery was off. Didnāt turn on anymore.
I removed it and slide it back in. Now when I click the power button it just flashes blue rapidly.
I thought this was the battery low warning that people here mentioned, but the battery was still 60% full earlier the day so this canāt be it.
So wtf is going on?
I tried charging the battery a bit and put it back into the board but it still flashes blue so I guess the battery is dead. I have a second SR one and am sure revel is gonna help me out but I am a bit sad that this happened with less than 10 times usage.
I am also worried of sliding my SR battery in with the fear that it fries too.
I managed to get a video of the swapped wheels in and it still wobbles so Iām guessing the left motor has an issue. Iāll swap the adapters next but now Iām a bit scared of this happening again while Iām on higher speeds. Suddenly without brakes is scary and Iām glad I practiced foot-braking with this deck before I converted it into eskate.
Iāll contact Revel and see what they say.
/ EDIT: I inserted the SR battery andā¦ it still flashes blue. So I guess not the battery is fried but my entire kit. 
Any ideas?
/ EDIT: after talking with the CS, the rapidly flashing light means itās in pairing mode. Repair the remote by holding the powerbutton when itās off to fix
So time to put together an email to Flo together with some video of what is happening including the power problems in your last post. Iām sure Flo will take care of you. One thing that might help flo to diagnose this would be to take some voltage readings of the two batteries. The way I do this is to turn the battery upside down and rest two knife blades into the two terminal slots that are furthest apart. then I touch the volt meter to the knife blades. This should tell Flo if you have issues with both of your batteries or if the problem not battery realated.
Thanks @BillGordon, Hi Paul, thanks for your response!
then I think i will stay with the front surf adapter only, i will not mess with the rear one in the revel kit, altough still i would need to place a raiser there.
i also want to say that iāve learned a lot about electric skateboars from your comments an videos Paul, so thanks so much!

Happy to help. Just be very careful putting an agressive steering mechanism on the front of a board that can travel at the speeds that a Revel kit is capable of. If the waterborn adapters are alot different than double kingpins, you might be fine. If for example you have travelled down hill at 35MPH on a waterborn adapter with no wobbles, then maybe speed wobbles wonāt be a problem. Let us know how it turns out.
Paul i understand your concerns and i appreciate it.
Surfskates are intended for real surf training/simulation, not for high speeds. also fun and nice to do some sport while traveling short distances but sometimes you get tired, or cant pump certain streets because of crappy roads, or maybe you need some extra power to climb hilly streets.
In my case, I wont be trying to win monaco grand prix, just trying to be always on the wave, that is maybe speed 1 or 2 on the revel. so high speeds wobbles shouldnt be a problem (for me)
best regards!
Yep, already reached out.
Iāll update if anything new happens but Iām guessing Iāll have to wait for a warranty replacement (if Iām eligible) which will take another 2 months like my first kit, so Iāll be signing off this thread until then.
Sad that I was only able to use it for less than a week in total. Not sure what went wrong and what broke my kit in the end but these things happen and Iām not angry. Despite having issues from literally day 2 of using it, I am still very positive towards revel. The experience while it lasted was fantastic.
Now just hoping Iāll be able to get a working setup before summer hits. I cancelled a different board order after the revel arrived that would have arrived next week but oh well.
where do you live?
Towards me? Japan
The problem is the huge delay because of corona. The website states 3 weeks for new orders but in reality thatās longer
3 weeks to ship. That means 3 weeks until the package is sent. How long it takes to arrive is up to corrona.
Me reacting to Ronnieās video:
1:10 hmmm caguamas looks nice, but i dont know if they will provide enough clearance for direct drives, at least on my countryās crappy roads. for me it should be 97ās or even cloudās may beā¦ 
5:55 no way, he is starting to do ollies with a rebel? 
omg i wonder how long will it last 
7:22, 7:57 ouch!
8:13 its official, he is trying to destroy it and it still works! lol 
i just went to do a little surfkating on a skatepark near here, i came back thinking what rebel pack should i order and now i saw this guy destroying his hahah
nice video.

Besides the wheel issues, Iām fairly confident your issue is probably within the battery. Iāve taken lots apart and know how they work pretty well and some of the errors line up with things Iāve seen / heard before. I think Flo will get you sorted out, sorry youāve had to go through this whole process.
Did you send the batteries or kit off?
Thatās cool heās doing tricks but because it says on the revel site that this kit isnāt designed for doing tricks itās in the same category of riding in wet conditions in that if it breaks under that type of usage it will not be fixed by the revel company.
Iām still waiting for costumer Service reply. I think theyāre not working on the weekend
I swapped my battery with my spare but still get a flashing blue light so itās sadly not the xr battery thatās broken. Iām guessing something on the esc is fried but I donāt dare to open it as that could void my warranty
Tried random button press combinations to see if there was something hidden but no luck
heās giving away wheels that are dangerous.
