I think overall 4x nickel strips are better than 1x nickel strips and some copper - alone for the soldering heat. pack is a lot more solid too!
think the heat is just from the load. pneumatic tyres, a lot of speed and quite aggressive acceleration/braking - currently I still enjoy the dual motors - didnt have that in a long time now
ended up at slightly earlier than flush position - feels really good now!
what I really hate is the stupid valve wobble - on my first eboard (evolve carbon), i added weight stickers that you use to counterbalance car tyres. think ill have to do the same for the trampa hubs until Im finally getting my hands on urethane hubs!
wont happen, i was motivated to build up this board by direct drive + urethane trampa hubs - thats what I will run in the end. direct drive is AWESOME, I love this so much. nice coasting with 100% grip, no belt slipping, silent drive anyway, splash and chip proof - its simply perfect!
valve wobble and excessive wear aside, pneumatics can be quite alright and I kind of got used to them again. reminds me of my evolve carbon AT - just ride over anything, sidewalks, sticks, chips, road, nothing matters, and full carve all the way.
problem is, with the crazy grip of pneumatics I carve even harder and pneumatics just wear down so quickly then. on my evolve I always had to swap a full set after 200km - it got quite costly and was also annoying.
overall this monster keeps on growing on me - love the torque, love the speed, enjoying cross country capability, switching sidewalks and street a lot. with the adjusted spring tension, the board feels a LOT better - its a night and day difference. now I can actually play with the flex to adjust a carving radius which wasnt possible before, cause the trucks would just cut in super hard. with the new feeling of the trucks I have to say that the flex is actually quite spot on now (now that I could actually use it for the first time)
first 100km down now, very lucky with the weather. Ill just order a few sets of tyres until urethane will be available!
