They use 80mm wheels (made by blood orange), caliber style trucks and 63mm motors. The Inboard M1 reaches 24mph and is limited to that with the ESC. With any VESC or FOCBOX you should be able to reach up to 30mph and get more torque then the inboard has.
I have not made any purchases yet, I would like to know if there will be any interest in these so that I don’t end up keeping all of them as they are expensive!
Those should be ≈≈ $549 and that will include the full back truck with HUB’s, front truck with wheels and bearings, and spare REV urethane.
Cool, I would buy 1 Manta Drive
The price is toooo HIGH, there will be no interest
I might be wrong @Jinra . This is what I got. Inboard limit the speed with their esc. If you use a VESC you’ll get the full potential! I’m still waiting for the reply from Inboard to see whats the KV.
@Jinra I don’t know the Kv, I guessed for now. Inboard should reply to me within today to let me know the KV of the motors! I will update the topic as soon as I know it!
Hey @willpark16, no one has put these on their boards and used them with VESC’s yet (as far as I know) A few inboard users apparently got some issues but they were easily solvabale as far as I know) what I also know is that this are very high quality and that there is no slipping issues. These will come with a warranty. I don’t yet know what it will be, I’m still waiting for Inboard to reply.
The price tag is simply too high. You should be able to pick much stronger and better hubs for that.
And with 80mm wheels and 63er motors, these should be the smallest and uncomfortablest hubs i´ve seen.
Better get some from Carvon or Hummie or all the some other nice guys here
The reason is heat. Ride an inboard and you’ll definitely feel the board have more legs but won’t go any faster. They currently have found a balance between power and heat.
I’m pretty sure pushing these at higher speeds will reduce the life of the thane because of the heat or even burn out the motors. These are torquey motors and you can kinda hear it…they have a geared feel to them even tho they are hub motors.
That’s for sure quite a perfect wright up! My 30mph was probably a bad estimate(
But I mean evolve are able to have their GT reach 24mph with 50mm motors at 10s and they are geared. So I’m sure 26-28 mph is a possible/healthy number. And they will come with an extra set of back thane so even if they do tare, you can easily swap them out! Still waiting on the Kv and the warranty information) I’ll be paying today or tomorrow, if the answer which I receive is what I want to bear))
Follow my logic based on no exact science but based on reasonable deduction of what we all kinda know…and this is a personal thought…not based on the other crazy thread abt thane … I really don’t wanna be dragged into that…
The thane for this motor:
It isn’t a true longboard wheel. It’s a motor with thane around it. It rubs on the ground. It heats up because of the motor. It cools down. It heats up again. You ride it. Again and again. Of course it wears out…but how fast? The extra heat from the motors must have an effect on the thane…cracking, chunking etc… it’s also thin compared to normal wheels…in short…you need to change the wheel thane more often to maintain the same quality of ride. Of course this all depends on how you ride… of you Ride like George Washington crossing the Deleware river… the thane will last a while…but ripping around, digging hard on carves or turns…yeah def…the extra set is a bonus…and there is a reason why.
Man I don’t wanna be or sound like that guy raining on ur parade… not my intention… i def don’t want you to get stuck with something you can’t unload…
Hey I even know Dave Evans at Inboard and have ridden with him a few times…so I have no hate or illl will towards them
Totally agree ! Seeing whats coming out from Onloop Carvon or Hummie we clearly see that diy guys are far more ahead with their hubs than commercial brands.
