How To Choose Wheels for DIY Electric Skateboards

[@MBoardsco]

What video do you want to see next?

[@TheNightmaremask]

I'd like a video showcasing the DD kit compared to a belt-driven board. It would be cool to see how they match up.

Under 100 dollar electric skateboard challenge

[@stevevazquez9520]

All about decks

[@152ike]

A deeper dive into the vesc tool! Like how to change the way your board behave and such! Not much vidéos about that on KZbin

[@matthewwheatley4740]

Something exploring how to match wheel size, trucks, and deck style to avoid any obvious build mistakes like wheel bite or wheel/truck incompatibility. Beginner builders might assume all parts are compatible, when many aren't. Cool vids, btw!

[@liam3044]

4:00 it depends on the road. If your roads are super rough a softer wheel can absorb the road and if your roads are smooth harder wheels will have less resistance to the road. Kinda like bicycle tires.

[@richguev]

Road and sidewalks are really bad where I live which one would you recommend so I don’t hurt myself lol

[@heysailorreedy6651]

Nice info on tires. have a skatebolt breeze 11 and just ordered all- terrain tires.

[@tobiastran7520]

Was afraid that something bad happend thank god you are back!

[@MBoardsco]

We’re all good! Just crazy busy! Trying to keep up! Just hired on a new shipping manager to allow me to focus on videos 👍🏻

[@TheNightmaremask]

Great video! Yall should be the first to get Aired 6" wheel adapters for the DD kit. I would love to run those on the DD kit, and I am sure there are many other as well!

[@MBoardsco]

Working on those now! Just purchased a 3D printer to help with prototyping before we send off to get CNCed 👍🏻

[@TheNightmaremask]

@@MBoardsco If y'all ever need anyone for some testing ;) haha

[@dusandilove2905]

Welkome back MBoards. I see all video from you, when you start doing diy skete to now. I actualy never be on the skate, I just like to watch your video, I learn some great info becouse I planing to make a diy e-skuter.

[@pascalgiguere6774]

Do you know if there’s any full rubber tire that goes on your all-terrain wheel? Just curious!

[@ludviglindh4398]

how significant is the different between the abec 11 wheel and a abec 11 clone?

[@SumDumChum]

Can't wait for my order to arrive! Looking forward to using your products in my build!

[@MBoardsco]

Woohoo!

[@colvinau1403]

How was it?

[@crazyskull88]

Hey thanks for making quick and easy videos. Also outsanding customer service i purchased from you guys before and i have nothing but great expirience.

[@MBoardsco]

Glad to hear it dude! Thanks for watching!

[@johnwithers5671]

just bought your all-terrain wheels but didn't realize they don't fit very well on standard trucks, in this case atlas trucks . There was about a 1/4" of axle sticking out on the nut side, I was able to solve the problem by flipping the axle nut over so the nylon locking material would make plenty of contact. This will be a push board for now and i think this solution works well. I hope to upgrade to the mboards extended trucks later this summer. the all terrain wheels are nicely made and look super durable. thanks

[@MBoardsco]

Great idea! Glad you got it figured out!

[@vanmeter_]

What is the best pre built electric truck / wheel set

[@sharky1854]

how do you fit those big offroad wheels on a directdrive board

[@HypercarVids]

where do you get the pulley for the wheels? i need one

[@claywilking4086]

Where I go to school, it’s really really snowy and a some pretty good hills does anyone have any tips???

[@aus109]

I went with 90mm, 78a. Mostly focused on range with some comfort in mind. Almost got the 97mm but i think 90mm will be fine for a street setup gives me a little extra juice too.

[@TheGreedX]

A lot of great info in this video thanks can't wait to become Mbored's competition lol

[@cccool4627]

Thanks ! 👍👍

[@vaughncartier6935]

I have the interstellar board, but i want wider trucks and I also want to flip my motors to the back. what trucks do you recommend?

[@TShadez]

I got the right core but my wheels hit my belts? What to do? Torque board 90 abec core zealot s

[@apmikalogran]

Kegel or caguama ? Is there any motor to fit on my caliber 2 trucks

[@michaelcampanella9724]

Hi I’m trying to build a fast long range board any tips

[@ericnastav]

Actually the cloud wheels can be hard to do a dual adjacent setup with; even with the extended trucks.

[@alanrodrigues2575]

What would be the safer wheels for commute in a city like London?

[@sandorszabolcsi]

Great detailed video! You mention the mboards 97mm black ABEC style wheels had a thicker core. I have a revel board kit that I would like to put on do you think it would work?

[@MBoardsco]

If your kit is compatible with cloud wheels it will work with our 97mm wheels 👍🏻

[@sandorszabolcsi]

@@MBoardsco they are according to the revel site thanks

[@nikolasescuza2]

Regarding the car wheel analogy: an over-inflated wheel reduces its contact patch, so it's making less friction with the road when putting smooth power down (that's what gets you the better milage). Having said that, I'd assume a narrower contact patch would have more of an effect on range (I'm new to skating, but I hope this input helps)

[@nikolasescuza2]

also, a softer compound should absob more imperfections and help keep contact with the road at high speed acceleration (once again, assuming car logic)

[@nathandejesus6177]

What are the smallest wheels with readily available pulleys? 80mm Orangatang Kegels?

[@MBoardsco]

80mm seems to be the smallest, might be able to find 75mm wheels out there somewhere with one of the main types of cores, but 80 seems to be pretty much the smallest mainstream wheels.

[@mohamedfarid7499]

can I make 3d printing TPU for wheel

[@MBoardsco]

It’s been done before

[@copo7205]

Hello, would it be possible to get a standard model e-longboard and stick 6' rubber wheels to it? Every model with those wheels is way more expensive than others with similar specs (more than the 100$ margin those wheels and adapters might cost)

[@keremerdem35]

I want to make an electric skateboard I will take these materials 6s 5000mah 50c motor 6355 180kv 36t pulley system Would you recommend me to esc Would it be a problem if I use esc if I don't use vesc Please answer

[@blairbeardsley4764]

Can you add a motor to a carveboard ?

[@georgerichter7066]

Can you do a video on pulleys

[@MBoardsco]

Anything specific within the category of pulleys?

[@HypercarVids]

@@MBoardsco where do you get the pulley you used on the orange wheels?

[@matthewjsherman]

What would happen if I attached a direct drive system to the battery and ESC of a backfire G3? What would happen? Would it work??

[@MBoardsco]

The direct drives work with a ton of ESCs. It would be worth trying with your current ESC. Worst case scenario it’d be a quick ESC swap if you aren’t happy with the performance.

[@matthewjsherman]

MBoards would it break anything? The backfire G3 uses two 450watt motors but every belt/direct seems to be like 3000 watts? Do would it be slow? Idek

[@MBoardsco]

It shouldn’t break anything, you just wouldn’t be running the direct drives at their full potential.

[@matthewjsherman]

MBoards ohh right okay. Is there anyway to adjust the existing ESC without buying a vesc

[@austinnguyen6538]

Can you sell the enclosure like the one you used on your booster mini build???

[@genevievebetancourt6538]

If I buy the direct drive kit, how do I install the all terrain wheels?

[@MBoardsco]

We’re currently working on a set of wheel Adapters for the all terrain wheels, but until then you can create your own or 3D print a set.

[@jdfilthyfree5141]

so im the idiot that you explain in the middle of the vid that bought cloud wheels and the pullys dont fit ,, ive even bought other pullys just to find out when they arrive that they dont fit... i have the Faboard Gold Duel Belt ... i contacted iwonder and they told me the wheels should go right on but they were wrong .. its a bummer cause i really need a change in wheels .. if you guys know of a way that i can get these cloud wheels to fit i would very much appriciate it ,... thank you ,, im almost to the piont where i might try to alter one of the sets of pullys i have but it would most likely take awa7y from the safety aspect .. idk ..\

[@thankyoutoo1995]

Nice Video. I am thinking about buying a kit from your website. Do you ship to Europe? I saw that some people commented on earlier videos that their package took long. Is this fixed now ?

[@MBoardsco]

Yes! We ship to Europe. And yes in the past we’ve had some longer wait times as our company has gained more and more popularity in a very short amount of time. Just keep an eye on the description of each product as we always list any back order issues in the descriptions 👍🏻

[@OverAndOverAndOver]

Ayyyy, he's back!

[@MBoardsco]

Been going crazy shipping orders. Just brought on a new team member to take over shipping and free me up to do videos all week. Tons of stuff coming very soon!

[@OverAndOverAndOver]

@@MBoardsco tremendous, I can't wait!

[@bakaAL07]

Good! As always!

[@MBoardsco]

Thank you for watching!

[@apmikalogran]

Kegel or caguama ?

[@AlpakaAntifa]

The screws of my enclosure from you are rusty... What can I do to prevent this? It looks like sh*t

[@MBoardsco]

Like cars and other metal objects, screws can rust over time. If this turns out to be more of a problem in your area you can always look into Stainless Steel screws.

[@repa8203]

Much better less vibration

[@richguev]

Forget ride feel I want the one that won’t throw me on my ass because I ran over a pebble or a small bump.

[@mukeshbalgotra108]

Why all wheels are so expensive?

[@MBoardsco]

Orangatang wheels are a bit expensive due to the premium formula. And wheels imported from out of country are a bit pricey because of how heavy they are and the shipping costs to get them here.

[@realonetv2436]

I ordered parts and there still not here

[@realonetv2436]

I ordered them a month ago

[@MBoardsco]

You may have ordered a back ordered battery. They’ve been insanely popular for the start of summer. Just got them in. Should have it very soon 👍🏻
