Passing Gears! used for passing bikes or other riders, makes it easy to speed up without looking down at your remote to change speed! I learned about this on my Meepo Mini, love this feature
I heard it mentioned with the new esc. I think it's a "passing gear" so you can be cruising in low gear and speed up to pass and then go back to low speed without pushing any buttons. It's a cool idea but I imagine it would be troublesome for a new rider especially if there is no instructions. I think it only works if you're at max mph for that gear so I guess you wouldn't do it accidentally unless you were already comfortable with going faster.
I just got this 3 days ago and I found it by accident while trying the low speeds.. it did mess with me a bit wondering why I was going so fast in speed 1 sometimes.
Thanks for the advice. I have a meepo hurricane carbon edition and I believe the esc is the same ill have to try it. I've heard that in speed mode 4 if you double tap the throttle from 0 mph it bypasses the soft start and gives you full power off the line.
great tip....i just got a V3 recently and found the same thing in speed mode 2: laying off on the throttle and then moving forward gives you a higher upper end. thanks!
No ones talking about this at all. Learned this from experience as well and really enjoy it. This is BY FAR the best remote/esc setup in the game. I really enjoy it on the Mini because without it I would probably inadvertently wheelie quite a bit from a stand still. It’s nice to have this feature so starts are smooth and u don’t have to worry about hitting any buttons to get a little more pickup once you’re moving.
Lol any remote that allows you to change gear while on the throttle does that. It's actually changing the gears while riding and not looking at screen basically
Ya I found this out my first ride on accident. Also ate shit super hard because I was in speed 3 and hit the button on accident and it switched to 4 and wheelied and I ate shit haaaaard
If you hold the on/off button and the button to change the speed you can change the wheel speed to 99 and go 5mph mention me when you make a video about that lmao I’ve never seen anyone post a thing about that nor in the info of the bored lol. I found it out of no where lmao
Changing the wheel speed does not actually change the speed of the board. It is an adjustment for the wheel size for the 90mm or 100mm wheels they offer so that the MPH on the remote remains accurate. That is, changing wheel size without changing the wheel speed setting would result in inaccurate MPH display. But, no, you will not go any faster by changing that setting.
Changing wheel speed doesn't actually make it go faster. It just changes how the speed is calculated. So, it will tell you the wrong speed if you have it set improperly.
Yup I’ve know this for a while, when I was on medium mode, it jumped to 20, yeah so this really isn’t a tip for me because I’ve known, but great tip for others

2nd speed sounded like... "wanna break from the ads?"

Only a problem because I didn't know about the feature. Now that I know, I think it's a good feature.
That's really cool give you the gear feel and the ability to pick your cruise control
This is very interesting, I'm glad to have came across this video, I'm getting my board soon so it will be good to learn alot about all the functions
Yo same I just ordered mine yesterday how is it?

Just got my v3 er, thanks for this video!

Nice find! Thanks for sharing 👍

I noticed this too. When I was riding my V3, except I did it on Speed 4, I was only able to hit 28mph on flat.
I actually noticed this while I was riding.. I'd find myself accelerating pretty quick for 'Speed 1' or reaching top speeds of 20MPH in 'Speed 1'
Would you not fly off the board by cutting the acceleration that quickly to get to the higher "gear", even if for a second?
Yeah, I figured out this "ratchet" technique by accident... it caught me offguard and was a bit scary.
I noticed this on my mini 2 ER, here I was thinking it was a fault - haha
Great video bro!
Thank you sir! I didn’t know
Wish my Shuffle V4 was that way, would be a nice safe way to increase speed without that sudden power from level 3 and 4.
Lol any remote that allows you to change gear while on the throttle does that. It's actually changing the gears while riding and not looking at screen basically
Good to know. Thanks for the video!
thank you!
I wonder if this makes it work harder or less hard?
I would be trying this right now but my meepo stopped charging. Looks like I need to learn to solder
This is because this is the new v3 it’s been updated if you buy one now this is how they come

thats great! i did not know that!
normal for the hobbywing esc
I wonder if ur battery will last longer reaching top speed in mode 1
For real ima try this when i go to nj
That's not how physics works
I got the same on a cheap coolnfun board xD. I thought it was a bugg in the esc or smt xD
Cool thanks
There's no gears , it's just a quick way to ramp up speed
they say top speed 29mph ... i turn that wheel speed up in the settings and that shit goes to like 40 mph
