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!
