I ordered the riptide bushing set for the evolve trucks and hopefully that gets me somewhere If it is still too wobbly then I’ll change to haggys in the future
Update: just burnt my anti spark switch in a super stupid way, the vx1 needed a positive lead to measure the battery voltage so me being stupid, I connected it to the positive lead going in to the switch, board turned on for 5 seconds and then went back off and till now is off and the switch isn’t working anymore, the switch heatsink is still warm but is not working at all. No worries the esc and everything else is working safe (I tried it with another battery. I ordered a maytech antispark switch and hopefully it is up to its name but the problem is that it doesn’t have a push to start feature
I bought the riptide bushing for the evolve trucks and had them on for a month now, and lemme tell u those things are litttttt. They are more carvy than the original bushings and super stable at high speeds. Hell they even helped me survive 3 speed wobbles without falling off the board. But I still don’t have the balls to go faster than 45 km/h
I don’t get why you’d buy a maytech antispark if the flipsky one was working fine till you did magic wiring with it. (They maytech ones aren’t reliable) I wasn’t aware actually that the flipsky VX1 got its battery voltage by directly measuring the pack; I thought it communicated with the vesc over UART to do that. I guess that’ll be quite useful for a build of mine where I don’t have that port free
Because it’s the fastest option I can get my hands on as I have a trip around Germany next month so I can’t wait a month for the Flipsky one and I’m running short on money that’s why
Switchblade is my all time favorite deck, especially the Hollowtech boards. Too bad they didn’t continue the Hollowtech Switchblades for 2021.
I’m using your board as inspiration for my new aspiring build - 12s4p Molicel P42, eboosted enclosure, 6374s… etc.
Great work my friend!
Yea man I fell in love with it as soon as I got on it and am falling in love more the more I ride it. Best choice u could go with I would recommend you to try and go with Kahua trucks with 6880 motors, sure the 6374 is moooooore than enough but if they fit might as well install the biggest it could hold And dont get the dkp trucks cuz they wobble like hell if u don’t have a nice bushing set
Seriously, my favorite part about them is that they are 10 inches wide throughout the whole deck, whereas my evo sloped from ten inches wide up front to about 9 inches in the back.
I’d like to get 6380s or 6384s but I’d really like to stick with Maytech and they only make 6374s.
Agreed, I can’t imagine riding a 12s board with 6374s and dkp trucks! You’re insane…
I think I’m gonna purchase the chief night and give it matching satin blue baseplates, have blue/black braiding… etc. Maybe give my enclosure some art too. Just ideas!
