      Something exploring how to match wheel size, trucks, and deck style to avoid any obvious build mistakes like wheel bite or wheel/truck incompatibility. Beginner builders might assume all parts are compatible, when many aren't. Cool vids, btw!

    4:00 it depends on the road. If your roads are super rough a softer wheel can absorb the road and if your roads are smooth harder wheels will have less resistance to the road. Kinda like bicycle tires.

    I went with 90mm, 78a. Mostly focused on range with some comfort in mind. Almost got the 97mm but i think 90mm will be fine for a street setup gives me a little extra juice too.

  • @johnwithers5671
    @johnwithers5671 Před 4 lety +1

    just bought your all-terrain wheels but didn't realize they don't fit very well on standard trucks, in this case atlas trucks . There was about a 1/4" of axle sticking out on the nut side, I was able to solve the problem by flipping the axle nut over so the nylon locking material would make plenty of contact. This will be a push board for now and i think this solution works well. I hope to upgrade to the mboards extended trucks later this summer. the all terrain wheels are nicely made and look super durable. thanks

    Hello, would it be possible to get a standard model e-longboard and stick 6' rubber wheels to it? Every model with those wheels is way more expensive than others with similar specs (more than the 100$ margin those wheels and adapters might cost)

  • @nikolasescuza2
    @nikolasescuza2 Před 11 měsíci

    Regarding the car wheel analogy: an over-inflated wheel reduces its contact patch, so it's making less friction with the road when putting smooth power down (that's what gets you the better milage).
    Having said that, I'd assume a narrower contact patch would have more of an effect on range
    (I'm new to skating, but I hope this input helps)

    • @nikolasescuza2
      @nikolasescuza2 Před 11 měsíci

      also, a softer compound should absob more imperfections and help keep contact with the road at high speed acceleration (once again, assuming car logic)

      80mm seems to be the smallest, might be able to find 75mm wheels out there somewhere with one of the main types of cores, but 80 seems to be pretty much the smallest mainstream wheels.

    What would happen if I attached a direct drive system to the battery and ESC of a backfire G3? What would happen? Would it work??

    • @MBoardsco
      @MBoardsco  Před 4 lety

      The direct drives work with a ton of ESCs. It would be worth trying with your current ESC. Worst case scenario it’d be a quick ESC swap if you aren’t happy with the performance.

    • @matthewjsherman
      @matthewjsherman Před 4 lety
