i am a meepo hurricane driver, but i like this board very much too.

I'm a 100kg and was able to get 21 miles of hills and hard riding with 3/10 bars remaining on my 2WD running the 200mm pneumatics. It's a beast

I pulled the trigger today on the ares X1 2wd. I was looking at this board for months and I think it’s one of the best looking boards. They are currently selling for $1550 which is only 50 bucks more than Black Friday price. Also your awesome discount code put an extra 40 bucks back in my pocket so thank you! Although I kinda wish the board had more wheel options and standard size bearings, I like speed and range so I think this board will fit my needs. Your reviews are great!

[@esk8unity]

thanks bud! u can still put hundreds of wheels in the board along with dozens of different pullies for additional speed! dm me on Instagram if u need any help: thank u!

[@erike7297]

@@esk8unity thanks for correcting me on that and that is great to hear. I saw a few people with 6 inch nematics on the Ares rims and that’s what I’ll probably try out as well.

[@shanepitzer4323]

I was about to pull the trigger on the new Hammer Sledge (I own the Hammer) but the reviews on the Ares X1 are insane. People are in love with this board which now has me leaning towards it. I’ll do 4WD because I ride off road a lot in the Pacific Northwest with tons of hills.

I wish I could put these trucks on my Hurricane. Matter of fact I wish I could put Zeus Trucks on my Hurricane. This looks more like an OG Zeus type of board than what I was expecting from 14s.

[@aratay3117]

I wonder how the new ares will perform. Gear drive and 90 amp esc, based off watching the nomad the acceleration should be ridiculous. Oh and tubeless tires. It is sad that it's stuck with pneumatics though

[@esk8unity]

agreed

[@aratay3117]

[@Catamount19]

Put some street wheels on it and tell me what you think...

[@esk8ooligan]

Unity, I received the X1 and have a very important question for you. In my initial two an only ride tests of this board, did you get deep enought into the battery that you reached the low battery vibration? And if so, were you at about three bars on the remote? And if so, did you board just all of sudden shut down? On my first test ride, the low battery indicator hit the controller. About five blocks later the board did a short hesitation and then all of sudden shut down. It actually locked up the rear left wheel and left a skid mark. I obviously ran off the board. I contacted ACEDECK and they asked if had done the update…of which I hadn’t because I knew nothing of the update that needed to be done. I then did the update the next morning. Charged the board. Took the board out for another test ride, and it did the same thing except this time the low battery hit the controller and two seconds (and I do mean two seconds) later the board just died. In both cases the board would not turn on as the battery was dead. I know if both cases the remote indicated there was at least three bars or about 30% of the battery left. I am curious if you saw this in your testing.

[@esk8unity]

yes this has happend to me. everything u typed EXCEPT locking up. it did shut off on me. they sent a new battery and i finally got it in (not easy to do at all the way its mounted in there)… and i have to finish draining the battery tmoro or friday… i have 3 bars left and so far its good again. but ill let u know..

[@esk8ooligan]

@@esk8unity Dude, thank you for the response. I am waiting for them to respond to my update today. The first time it did it, it actually threw me off the board and squeeled the rear left tire as it locked up. I thought I was going crazy as I had not seen anyone else report this. Not glad you had the issue, but am glad you confirmed my sanity of not going crazy. Thanks for the response…I appreciate and value your insight. Will update you on my issue too.

[@Allebaggen1]

@@esk8ooligan Did you solve the battery issue? And is the new battery working for you fred?

Nice review， just have a quick question, is bushing using the riptied longboard bushing?

[@Bon3Cancer]

How did you paint over the logo on the grip on the Meepo hurricane, spray paint / marker?

[@ahmedabdelfatah7832]

Amazing 🥰🥰

[@esk8ooligan]

Hey Unity! Great vid. I am curious as to your thought of the durability of the CNC trucks…especially with the open spaces. Forged are going to be stronger and with the open sections, there are some pretty thin areas on those trucks. A little worried about taking some hard hits and crystalizing those thin spots…then having them snap. Having put your eyes on them, what do. You think? Appreciate the work Dude!!

[@aratay3117]

Finally ordered my first 2 in 1 board, went for the original ares. Any suggestions for street wheels in the 105-120mm range? I wasn't sure how much ground clearance the ares might need. I also haven't seen many videos showing street wheels for the x1

[@esk8unity]

nice! great board for great price. i used 105s on the board a few times and has plenty of clearance.

[@esk8ooligan]

Unity, I don't know how much time you have had to really dig into this board, but I found something else that is very interesting and would like to have your input. As I am reviewing the X1, I see that I can access two sub menus for board settings. I noticed that under number 6 (BATT TYPE) of the second sub menu, the setting is 18650. The X1 is advertised as having a Molicel 21700 P42A 21700 battery. If that is the case, why: 1. Is there no option for the 21700? 2. Why is the setting at 18650 as that is a cell with less capacity? 3. Why is there no option for 21700? A Molicel 21700 is a 4200mAh battery with 42A. The 18650 is a 2600mAh battery with 26A. Does the X1 actually have 21700 cells or are the 18650 cells actually being used? I find it interesting there is no 21700 setting if the battery is a Molicel 21700. Thoughts?

[@esk8unity]

i THINK that remote/esc just has soooo many variables of settings, its just inside the remote. i dont think it is 18650. this stuff is a bit beyond my expertise but when i took out the battery with a friend to replace it, it was labeld 21700 molicel

[@esk8ooligan]

@@esk8unity I was wondering what you saw when you pulled your battery. Appreciate the response.

[@landsurfin]

Awesome review man, so glad I found your channel. I know you didn't do a full range review, but is it safe to say you'd get around 35 mi more or less? Also, I carve about as much as you do, how's the stability at 30+ mph?

[@esk8unity]

thanks bud! def less than 35 miles with AT. but more or less with street.. this is very stable at high speeds 30+ 👌🏼. use our coupon code!

[@aayushb2520]

loved the video. just a question, as a i recently had a motor failure on my Meepo V4 Shuffle that caused a fairly severe injury. is 2wd objectively less safe than awd for boards? I live in upstate ny with somewhat rough roads and consistent hills and now need to invest in a new board, so I’d appreciate any input. Regardless, thanks for the great video.

[@esk8unity]

i mean its really subjective.. 4wd has more traction. but its veryyy powerful.. injuries happen. it sucks but its apart of the sport. my streets are awful as well. i adapt to all wheels.. 80mm street wheels, to cloudwheels, to 8” pneumatics and everything in between. heal up n get better!

[@tvueoc]

i got a meepo huricane and everything on it sucks it is like impossble to tighten the belts witch btw when i bought it it was alreddy lose including the screws also loose and the front and back trucks can move up and down on the deck bc the enginearing sucks and the screws broke its bad quality

[@Captain_Barrels]

I love my hurricane idk

[@Bearforceone]

It isn't assembled ride ready, you need to tighten the belts yourself, check the PSI and tighten the trucks.

[@KudaBear-gj9br]

That's because Meepo is garbage.

[@hallwaytv3708]

Been looking for a good AT board that’s got clearance and can be used for racing. This may be a good fit. Is there a way to mount bindings?

[@t0rment411]

I agree the ability to swap wheels out is a huge deal breaker

[@t0rment411]

Do you think I could throw on some 80mm mavericks from 88 wheel co for grip or should I go with boa wheels instead

Thx for the review, great work! 👍🏾 If you could only own 1 board which would you pick? Do you prefer a carbon fiber or bamboo? Trying to decide between the 4wd, 2wd or an Evolve gtr 2 or hadean bamboo vs. carbon. I came across this Ares X1 and it looks good as well. Please help me out bro!

honestly there both great. i like the features more on the bc3, but i like the range better on the acedeck.. i like the deck a little better on the bc3, but i like the acedeck trucks a little better. its really personal preference. but my discount code works for both of em. and both have great customer service

You're not damaging the battery if you're charging it with 1C current or less, and I bet even that charger won't charge it that fast

45 mph on street wheels doesnt seem safe for boutique boards anyways

nothing is safe at that speeds with a skateboard. however, i’d feel safer with street wheels at faster speeds. no vibrations, wider contact patch, lower center of gravity
