What grinds your esk8 gears?

Define “hobby grade”, because there’s a lot of “hobby grade” builds kicking ass out there.

Had a 220kv shit out on me as well. In my case it was only a sensor that broke from sensor pcb. But it made quite a similar sound and action to your video. Let us know what you find when the cab gets opened up

Vendors that take money from our small community and then fuck off into the night.

Grinds my gears to a halt.

I battle harden all my motors now cause you can’t trust shit anymore.

My 6384 Dicky ho motor lasted longer then my brothers TB 6374 and it has double the miles on it.

@yelnats8j, I have some Teensy evolve motors that are the oldest piece of Esk8 gear I own ( had since 2016). Been run hot enough to burn your shin. Skated in water in Hawaii, frozen and briefly lost in Japan. Survived wrecks that broke DKP axles. Never battle hardened, sensors still work. Bearings still good. Idfk anymore :man_shrugging:

We know! I’ve said it a bunch of times, those racerstar motors are excellent. $45 motors that go forever, pull well in a dual config and weigh nothing compared to big 'ol cans. They are a little secret.

Except I don’t like DKP on the rear trucks at all.

I’m not a hater, DKP on the front trucks is dope - but I don’t like them on the back

But what really sets me into inconsolable rage? Mr Important in his cheap domestic muscle car that honks, swerves at you, when you (on a mutha fucking skateboard) are already doing 10 over the 25 mph speed limit.

You Pat looking, middle aged fat fuck, In an SS Camero, on Texas St SD. my mid life crisis is bigger faster better.

We played fuck fuck games in the Wendy parking lot after a little game of “hit me bro, you fat fuck, I know you won’t “. Pussy.


I wish I had my Gopro on. Not turning my Gopro on for epic shenanigans also grinds my gears. :imp:
