A few questions for the more knowledgeable
Hi all. I’m brand new to skateboards/eboards and I have a few questions if yall wouldn’t mind answering. For context, I have a gen1 halo board beast that I purchased as broken, but got it working with a new esc and remote.
I’m looking to replace the wheels on it, but the ones that are on the motors are stuck on the shaft to a degree that I feel like I’m doing something wrong. I read online that all you gotta do is take the one nut off and the wheel should slide off, but that’s def not the case. Any advice on how to get a stuck wheel off?
I don’t know what wheels are compatible with the board, but research suggests that Cloudwheels Discovery will work. Is that a good choice for mostly riding on the sidewalk and street? Is there something better I should buy instead? And how much range should I expect to lose when swapping to bigger wheels?
I had to replace the esc on this board and buy a new remote as well. I read that you have to input the wheel diameter into the remote settings to get accurate speed and range to display. The current wheels are 97mm and that’s what I put in, but it’s way off. It’s showing I’m going 20+mph when I’m only going about 10. What do I actually input for 97mm, and for 120mm wheels if I do get those?
Many thanks in advance.
