I've two Bustin E-boards that need new ESCs and one new board that I just ordered off Kickstarter, the Shark Wheel power version. Was supposed to be expect delivery by May but it'll likely be July or later now. I better order some ESCs soon so I can finally ESK8 again! I'm planning on taking my two dead boards and Frankenstein-ing an 4WD setup soon :)
Damm, that looks like fun! I can see myself hopping out early in the morning, little to no people roaming around, in a beautiful morning just cruising on an electric skateboard
@@zigzagzallakabam4823 I'm not sure I've never taken it all the way to a dead battery. Lol but I have gone a little more than 10 miles and had it just barely hit half battery. Problem was it was cold out so the remote battery was close to dead
Hey ronnie man. The key to all out speed run is to commit to it, basically all you have to do is believe in your self and put on ur game face and grit it. I have hope in u awesome man.

The geometry of RKP (Reverse Kingpin) trucks allows for the rider to put all of their weight on the front of the board for the best balance. IDK if that was the intention when Gullwing made them in the 70s (yes, they're that old) but they are the ideal truck design for downhill stability (high speeds). Double Kingpin trucks, like Gullwing Sidewinders and those from 1st party pre-built e-board manufacturers, are simply TKP (Traditional) trucks, which can be thought of as similar to RKP trucks with very low angles. If you are familiar with downhill/LDP (long distance pump/push) and angle splitting, then you know that a low degree truck goes in the back for stability (trailing rear design), so you can kind of think of having those on both ends. The turn of TKP is progressive, meaning it leans more at first, then turns, this makes them great for downhill, actually, and you get more wheelbase, this can also help with stability(and hurt mobility further), you do need to take special care of your PIVOT CUPS. In a TKP design, the brunt of the forces acted on the truck will be put directly on the kingpin, casing potential bends and/or snaps, and stability loss short term, installing a high quality, 95a+ hardness Urethane pivot cup REGULARLY (once a year) will help keep your OG trucks bombing well. RKP trucks have a more even distribution of forces, due to their design, but taking care of your trucks will obviously help them out. DKP trucks have: more lean AND more turn than their TKP counterparts, in exchange for increased ride height and reduced* stability (increased ride height = increased leverage as well) V1 Sidewinders did NOT have 3rd party support; no companies aftermarket pivots fit, meaning the worst flaw of the trucks was exacerbated 2x. Make sure you can replace the pivots in your DKP trucks, either by forums for DIY, or by emailing Support for pre-builts, before you buy if possible.
Yes I’ve had speed wobbles going over 30 and went down with no helmet no elbow pads no kneepads, and let me tell you, you do not want that to happen, it hurts!!
So after seeing your first review on the rebel kit I am now obsessed and I need one I can't get a driver's license so I can't drive a car this is the next best thing also from watching all your skate Journeys you have inspired me to get into downhill skating as well and I really needed to take this time to thank you very much for that you have been a huge inspiration to me getting back into skating after years of not skating I'm in my forties and I stop skating when I was like 35 please keep cranking out that amazing content and keep us inspired thank you very much brother
@aMiFiii there is a limit I do agree ay which some are too much...now the one thing I think of is taking takin 2 cheaper set ups, or buying two separate cheaper automated truck set-ups and figuring out a way to sync them up with one specific remote...meanin Is resodering the proper parts amd or areas...yeah sounds hard and difficult to a degree it would be but seems fun in itself to learn the inner workings too. But I also think in what i have seen is that the automated skate world hasn't really advanced a whole lot. And with the whole economic issue being o blast we'll that doesn't make anything cheaper. I may have posted that and maybe even said it in here, but I may have being goin off what I had last seen a few years back before the inflation hit heavy due to the be sick and sheep up movement.
I wish i had that one! I love to ride that going to work...back in the day i want to play some board but i could not afford one. even the cheap one..nice ride men
Your amazing to watch I and you have so much boards!!! I just started watching you last week and it’s been amazing. I am was if you will ever do another give with one of your older boards you have?
Dude those wobbles! I had a few wobbles myself and last ride wobble I had got me a fractured 9th left rib. I’m out for the rest of the month, probably a couple, but will definitely be back for more rides 😁🤙
You do NOT wanna put your weight on your rear foot. Keep most of your weight on your front foot, close or above front truck if possible. Also, split angle truck setup helps alot
Great build! For DIY builds like this, which remotes offer the ability to get paired with two receivers and used simultaneously? Your help is appreciated 🙌
I'm testing out an AWD setup with VESC 6's and 6374 and foamies until my tb110 show up. It tops out over 40mph so it's scary and a blast to ride. Excited to try out the 6" street wheels from TB.
Hahaha you mentioned my post, good shit bro, take your time with the flexway (😂) video, be harsh if you need to, love your videos man, you and Daniel Kwan got me deep into e-skating 🤟🏻🤟🏻
Another great video, man. Thanks so much for putting out this great content consistently. Wish I could afford one of those Revel Kits one day... they look pretty slick!
I've been wanting to do a AWD setup with purple SR Foamies for a while and this is inspirational to make it finally. The Revel kits are awesome but the killer for me is it can only fit flat decks, so I'm definitely going DIY, with a twist: My friend is machining up two sets of tandem wheel adapters for me. These are going to be longer than the adapters available as well as ride on bearings, and the rear mounts will fit hub drives. So I'll be running eight wheels; one Foamie and one hub drive at at each wheel. I'll do the Foamies on all first wheels as the extra diameter creates some angle on the adapter that allows the wheels to lift over over road obstacles easily. It'll be a monster for eating up Seattle's rough roads and steep hills.
Revel Kit is not limited to flat decks. Lots of examples on this esk8 news thread. Also lots of 4WD examples. One 8 wheeled example. forum.esk8.news/t/revel-at-the-brand-new-competitor-in-the-direct-drive-esk8-race/1374/499
I Have a direct drive with cloudwheels 120mm and was thinking about converting it to 4WD because it is very slipery when I hit the brakes on mine (if the road is wet) and when I used the board putting the motor in the front and braking fully it dosn't slip :p The weight shifting forward while braking is definitely the problem :/ I am using double kingpin trucks and downhill at 52 km/h (my max speed) I didn't even got speed wobbles ;) That was a great video Keep up the good work

PIVOT CUPS, find aftermarket pivot cups for replacing your old ones when they wear out =P
Hey Ronnie! First, I just want to let you know that your my favorite person on TH-cam and your videos are great! Whatever it is your doing, just keep doing it! I have a question. Are you able to change the wheels on the revel kit? I can’t tell if you got those foamies and then put them on or it all just came in one. Anyways, I hope you have a very successful day!
the shadow when you are riding the board shows you are holding monopod or camera stick however in the video the stick can't be seen, that's so weird and freaky, how did you do that? that's like magic
Hey, just a heads up. My buddy bought this kit because your video and you might want to put up a shot saying not all can do 28mph his only hit 22mph The meepo he sold me right after he got the kit does 31mph with me on it highly recommended the V3 not all hit the speed I was able to get to but I see the general top speed is 28. They charged him $100 for a shipping fee even tho it was probably just for "restocking"/refurbishment Great Tq and breaking nice remote feel coasts decent but the meepo beats the kit. I'd give the kit a 6/10 basically for false advert. Meepo 9/10 the sleeve is a bit small for a full 10/10 He's not mad but I'm not the type to forget hope you post an update on the original video. Can't speak for the AWD he just had one kit
Hello Ronnie and like your review videos about board-kits, could you please recommend(based on your experience) more budget kit for non-ultimate riders, just for comfy town cruising+ and might a bit more + in a budget up to 200 usd ? And thankx
i get this comment is late BUT, got a question for you. In your opinion, what is the best DIY combo for an electric skateboard in the city? same question for already assembled e boards
Frickin badass beast, that looked scary as f#@k! Great video as always, but when playing with monsters use pads and maybe a full face helmet. Please make footage of you climbing a steep hill, we wanna see torque! 😜
Notice the gap in between the deck and the kit?... Do you think an insert or at least a whatever seal/barrier should be placed in between? (Debris, pebbles etc might go in)
Sorry, I bet you get this question a lot, but not from me so here goes. Are you somehow editing out the stick that is holding your camera? What software/process do you use? Ok, thanks. Also, nice review. I am obsessed with electric skateboards and now I think I might go the DIY route on a pintail longboard I made this summer. Thanks for the review.
Can the revel kit go on a backfire g3 flexible deck ? Just getting into the electric skateboards... I really want the Foamies where i live, the wheels would be perfect.
Hello Ronnie, how are you? When you use 4wd, there is 2 batteries and less struggle from the motors , did you get more range out of the batteries? thanks!
Thanks for making this 4wd update! How much does the board weigh with the 4wd kit set up on it? Can you use the tail of the board to pop it up when you stop riding?
I'm getting ready to get myself the revel 4wd kit but I wanted to know what bushings I should get for better stability? I was planning on getting a poke loaded board.
I know this might be asking a lot, but I just bought the revel kit. I have been electric skateboarding for about two years now. My first board was a teamG... that one didn’t go very well.. now I ride an Evolve. Ever since I got in to the Esk8 Community I have wanted to do a DIY board... when I first started researching it I realized it was a little out of my tech range, unless I got one of the bolt on kits. When I first started researching, mellow was one of the only ones doing the whole bolt on ready to go thing. As I previously said, I decided I wanted to pig revel instead, it seemed newer and cheaper. Did I make the right decision? Can you do a comparison video between the mellow kit and the revel kit??? Please 😅
Do you prefer 4WD or 2WD? I am hesitating between the 2. The mileage you got out of it was with single range batteries I'm guessing? Any estimate on how heavy the board is? It looks like a heavy boi
@@loufugier3481 I just check them out, I like the wide deck but with the curved tail I wonder if a bolt on kit would fit and lay flat along the bottom of the deck. I like the idea of a cruiser or longboard. Have you tried one ? I have an old sector 9 pintail I was thinking about trying. Or maybe or possibly buying a landyatch tugboat just to see how they ride. If you have tried one, I would appreciate any help or advice. I really don't want to buy a bunch of decks just to find out they were a waste of money. That, and if I bring any more boards into the house my husband may divorce me. Lol

I absolutely love your filming haha it’s like a 3rd person view, I can’t even see the stick
holy snapss!!! How do you not get speed wobbles at 28-30mph...man oh man!! Good ride!
Gotta train them ankles 💪💪💪
How do you shoot your videos when your riding? It looks amazing
I use the insta 360 one x. I’ve made videos on it and how I use it. It’s awesome!
what's the weight of that 4wd setup? Would a carbon fiber deck work with 4wd?
That thing whips!!
I Have a direct drive with cloudwheels 120mm and was thinking about converting it to 4WD because it is very slipery when I hit the brakes on mine (if the road is wet) and when I used the board putting the motor in the front and braking fully it dosn't slip :p

Hey, just a heads up. My buddy bought this kit because your video and you might want to put up a shot saying not all can do 28mph his only hit 22mph

They charged him $100 for a shipping fee even tho it was probably just for "restocking"/refurbishment
Great Tq and breaking nice remote feel coasts decent but the meepo beats the kit. I'd give the kit a 6/10 basically for false advert. Meepo 9/10 the sleeve is a bit small for a full 10/10

First comment you read seems like it's opposite of what it supposed to be pertaining the feet position. I gotta try and see whats up

2wd is lighter and powerful enough!
I've got the regular setup, it's plenty powerful (about 25mph) and with swappable batteries, unlimited range!
For around the same price as 1 revel kit you can get a BKB dual kit that has 20 miles range, might be worth giving it a try ;)
Dude this double kit is sick! Is it possible to put real AT wheels on it?
I’m sure there is a way to do it!
Revel is going to be my next skateboard, just need to decide what deck I want.

Stay Stoked
How does the acceleration compare to other AWD boards like the Meepo AWD Pro?
nice board.
I subscribed and liked this video. It makes me wish I had a elelctric longboard but my funds are too low. Even a few $100 is out of my budget but watching your video here made me feel like I was riding. Great video quality and footage.
300 is the very cheapest you can get. Sadly.
Thats sick. Does it extend the range and up the sweet since you have 4 motors?
No
It actually lessens it
More motors
More power
Less battery life
how big should wheels be for carving?
Could I use the Revel kit with my Waterborne Surf adapter?
Great board, is there a kit like this with a little more suspension than just the flex of the board and the fomies?
Not sure but sounds interesting
I thought you forgot about this kit
Can you push if need be when you go to far and battery dies?
Does 4WD double the range?
How about giving some deals on your boards that are not being used???? I would love to save some change on these great boards you review...
I'm confused,,, where's the stick that holds the camera??
i neeeed to see this on the revive cruiser
Hmm 🤔
pareng ronnie, would the revel kit be compatible to beercan board decks?
Hello i was wondering what the name of the deck is?
Anonymous tumulus. Not sure if it’s still being sold tho
Will foaming fit on exway flex?
That will require some test fitting..
Confirmed, the do. If they fit on my Riot , they definitely fit on the new flex with even bigger clearance
Do you have any electric long boards that are fast but really cheap I have a budget of $300
does 4WD double battery life?
Nowhere to store your boards? I can like borrow one to make place:))))
