Before you take out the piece make sure you scrape back some of the foam gasket that goes between the deck and the battery compartment cover. The foam gasket covers the two screws that hold on the charging module. This drove me insane for about 20 mins and I broke a screw driver prying at it. THERE ARE TWO SCREWS UNDER THE FOAM.
I just learned the hard way... DO NOT use an impact driver to reinstall the 8 bolts that hold the two axle retention plates onto the hanger. I stripped out two of the holes and now need a new hanger. Use the supplied allen key instead! This is not a ten minute job, give yourself enough time to do it properly.
@@everythingabout-esk8 I bought the Geardrive replacement kit with voyager motors for my NLS3, but they wont spin with the remote. do I have to change a setting?
Gear drive config protects from dust, rocks and small debris from daily use while on belt drive config, small rocks and debris easily gets caught up in the belts in result of belts snapping. So far I heard that it's much smoother than the belt kit and you might actually love its noise. It's definitely worth going for full gear drive power kit so you can easily swap over each gear drive and belt config back and forth.
I just replaced mine on my Hurricane, it went pretty easy. Hopefully this one doesn't get ruined. The first one I had only for a season and the last ride I took I think I may have damaged the ESC. Only one motor would work. Swapped them and found it wasn't the motors so ordered the ESC. Fixed the problem and ready to ride next season
I think I have an answer. What I think is it has to do something with speed control. The board itself moves translationally, meaning it is moving on a straight line. However, the wheels are spinning. The controller has no GPS unit inside, so it can only know current speed by knowing RPM of the motor times circumference of the wheel, hence getting the linear speed. Right? If you just slap 150mm off road wheels on it, the controller will 'think' you are going, per say, 10 mph for 'native' green wheels this thing has (i think they are 90mm, whereas you will be going 150mm/90mm * 10mph ~~ almost 17 mph at this point! You need to tell the remote what kind of circumference of installed wheels is, so it could calculate speed accordingly.
@@WookedSun yes and no. I think these motors are limited on current, so certain current gives you peak power, regardless of gear ratio. If you reprogram your remote to higher gear ratio while using standard 90mm wheels or Cyclones-well, first off, your speed reading will be incorrect to a low side. Second: your board might start accelerating abruptly, thinking that there is a large wheel to turn so it needs higher RPM. All speeds would be increased compared to standard setting, yes. Standard gear ratio for 90mm pus is 2.1. Try to set it like 3 and see if there is any speed boost. But then deceleration will become also sharp!
