I have a regular two and one board do you think these trucks make enough difference to spend the $360 and get the new ones coming out by Meepo? I’m not a speed demon, but I just really love good carving and not worrying about speed wobbles even though I rarely top 25mph
thanks for this amazing and detailed review. I've always wondered what's different about these race board and you answered every single of my questions!!
I was able to race on one at the electrify expo. I think it’s going to be an excellent entry race board. I’ll have it on the channel at some point as well.
You really broke it down well. One thing to add is the way it turns Like a car, the rear trucks just helps the lean, and you right after riding a stooge board it feels weird riding your favorite board again. Lol. Great Video Bro. Thanks for the shout.
Very interesting video. Stooge board or at least 3-links were always my desire but in this review you said it’s more footwork then bodywork for steering. I’m into esk8 from alpine snowboard and in all my setups I tried to eliminate the possibility of easy steering with my foot. I think I will go the poors man way and order meepo 3-links to build up my own opinion.
Would you just have binding in front or back/front so to jump high and safety? Or for cruising around, no binding at all so you could move, dance and so on this board? Wish they had a binding that you could take on and off, adjustable side to side, back and front and angles. I'm sure it will be made and I'm thinking this must be a great idea, just to click it on and adjust? Take this with you and see/hear if someone would go for this idea. Could be used on any boards and it would be a hit. If you take this idea and it becomes real, you sure will get money in your pocket bro😊👌👍. I don't know companies, brands, people who makes since I live in North-Norway, Tromsø, lol. Anyway, hope someone will do this, and I'm sure it will happen sooner or later. Take care
I’d love to see something like that. I prefer a binding in racing and even use one on my regular street board (named venom that’s also on this channel). I’d you haven’t seen the bindings by tomiboi esk8 , look them up. They provide great leverage but are also very easy to come out of in a fall.
Hope after this video, more peple start to thinking about technical design of their board and not just on visual look. When I was focus on weight or high from road, it looks like I was speaking some different language. Nice video, Nice explanation specially for non technical persons. Nice race board🛹🤘
I have a Lacroix that I use to commute to work 7 miles each way and want to more stablize at higher speeds for longer times 40-45mph. - What is the best trucks, similar to these 3 links and what tires/rims would you recommend? Wonderful video thank you!
Thanks for watching. Using 3links with angled decks is doable but gets tricky with fitment. You’ll need to do some solid research to figure all of it out. If you’re after just adding more stability you may want to look at adding a wedged riser in the rear, reducing the truck angle.
@@ELECTRIC-DNA Wonderful reply thank you. Yes, I noticed HeathLewis had a make shift wedged riser on his board as he maintains the highest speeds out there if not the world record Lol Does anyone know where one can buy a wedged riser? or do you think buying new trucks with built in angled plates like Randall, Bear, etc is better than hypertrucks?
@jpaulglobal Amazon for a riser. It won’t exactly match the shape of the truck but I’ve used one like it before and it worked fine. 3d printing is also a great option if you have the ability to
@@ELECTRIC-DNA Sweet action. I'll try the wedged riser first for speed stability. Any idea what angle should be best for most high speed stability on Lacroix w/ hypertrucks? And do you think channel trucks are best for high speed stability
This has got to be the best explanation I’ve ever seen. And yeah that’s gonna cost a pretty penny. A very beautiful pretty penny. Fastest penny you ever owned, with you on top. Don’t mind me I’m just trying to explain this purchase to my wife. But um yeah. Great video👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
Great review, it really showcased the advantages these race boards have over other production boards in competition. Having nearly 40 horsepower under your feet is actually pretty wild.
It’s not for everyone, but for esk8 racing it’s the top dog at the moment. Comparison to Honda groms is pretty random as they serve completely different purposes. Thanks for watching.
@ELECTRIC-DNA yea well I build Diy electric skateboards and ride Ebikes and motorcycles so that's why the comparison. It was relevant to me, and people watch reviews cause its relevant to them. That price is ridiculous, especially if you're not really a racer like that or not competing regularly.
@@Astrofizz8384 agreed on those points. It’s 100% built for racing. There are plenty of better value boards for everyday riding. But for on track this really isn’t outrageous. I’d encourage anyone to add up the components on their own and you’ll begin to see the SRB isn’t making a killing here with all things considered. $4140 before batteries is pretty reasonable when the math is done for what you get.
@@Astrofizz8384 I was lucky enough to be invited to race with one at the electrify expo in Phoenix. It’s an excellent board that has the bones of a stooge race board. Id guess it’s around a third ish the power of a V5. For the average person that wants to race it’s plenty for short track and is going to be an excellent option for the sport. Have one on order as well and will eventually have it on the channel. Almost like the spec Miata of our sport in a way.
I rode the early model of the MLR in the Phoenix expo races. I think it’s going to be a great entry board for racing. Will have to wait and see how the final production boards are before I can really give a full opinion on it but overall it rides like a lower powered stooge board.
@@ELECTRIC-DNAI heard the Meepo MLR is having problems with the hangers breaking causing crashes and some ESC issues. Do you think it is for a rider that weighs more than 180 lbs?
As far as I know none of the production units customers have purchased have shipped. So I wouldn’t worry too much about items breaking before the board is finalized.
A very detailed and positive video about Stooge, it's truly an exceptional skateboard, but I imagine a review should also include the negatives. No skate has only positives, and the entire review feels like you're trying to praise it in every aspect. I miss constructive criticism, and without it, I have a hard time believing all your enthusiasm. Even Stooge has its issues (like any machine), such as motor heating or the really fast wear of the gear drive, or other issues I'm not aware of since I don't own it myself.
the negatives are the positives. it's an uncompromising race board. it's a high maintenance, low range, low to ground,expensive, high speed machine, no flex. impractical for almost any other use for a electric skateboard outside of a track. honestly it's the standard everything is compared to in racing
