MONSTER BOOSTED BOARD WHEELS: NEW SPEED HACK!

I put 120mm wheels on my Boosted V2 and it increased the top speed from 22mph to 29 mph. You sacrifice torque and range, but you get a crazy top speed. Also, having bigger wheels means a smoother, more comfortable ride.

Those belt covers would be a good justification for a 3D printer.

Love the video Sam and glad you loved the Foamies!

[@GregoryVeizades]

I wonder if you sized up the rear pulley in relation to the wheel size if you could get the big wheel benefits without the drawbacks. Making the wheel diameter bigger is effectively gearing it up. If you were to increase the pulley size to get the Motor RPM to Wheel RPM ratio back to normal you should be able to have the epic torque and braking efficiency of the small wheels as well as the better rolling characteristics of the large ones.

[@zachmoir]

Make some modifications and upload the STL to thingiverse, I'll be the first to download it and print it :D

[@matthewoconnor3376]

You do.

[@yogajitsu6757]

Then you dont get the speed. How much do you weigh? This guy looks way heavier than me so id make the conversion. If youre heavy then no because you need the torque. Im oribably 50 pounds lighter than this guy.

[@grantkobes]

@@zachmoir im gonna try and make these. The only problem is that it will bring the pulley size from the stock size of 56 teeth to a massive size of 84 teeth. Most likely gonna need to buy bigger, non tradtional size belts.

[@colvinau1403]

Haha get it “I wonder” that’s the brand of the wheels

[@HotNHorny]

The BELT BASH GUARDS do fit. You need to install it before installing the wheel. First, install the wheels without belt guard and set the belt to the right tension. Once complete, remove the wheels and install the guard. You should be able to remove the wheels without having to readjust tension. Just hold the pulley to keep it in place during the wheel removal process. If the pulley comes out, you should be able to put it back in as the pulley is able to tilt within the trucks. I would advise to use 4 large spacers in between the trucks and the large bearings on the pulley and then install a small thin spacer in between the trucks and the stock rear spacers on the board to ensure that the wheels do not rub against the belt guard. You should end up with approximately 0.050" in clearance between the BELT GUARD and the WHEELS.

[@slickrevolution7046]

HotNHorny have you got the foamies dude? :)

[@hemigod2]

Do you still have shorter belt life for any other reason now that you have the guards installed?

[@BrandonDGr8]

You probably lose SO much range if you keep the standard range battery though. With the extended range battery, you range becomes basically what a stock standard range board has. Definitely try going off-roading with these wheels some time. It's a TON of fun to do ride dirt/gravel trails on a Boosted board of all things.

[@samsheffer]

i like having the standard range battery on there for super quick trips! ive got boas on my stealth and another v2 (XR batteries on both) for the longer trips ill prob end up swapping eventually

[@BrandonDGr8]

@@samsheffer true, could be good when you gotta go to and from somewhere super quick. I wonder how much faster you can go if you install these on the stealth. You'll likely break 30 mph.

[@azeldok]

@@BrandonDGr8 i need to see this on Evolve gtr

[@eddiefara]

nice video sam, made me miss the old school vlogs, but loving the new videos just as much.

[@AccidentalBroadcast]

How do boosted’s electronics correct the speedo reading for the larger diameter wheels? 29mph is most likely a false reading.

[@micahchapman2124]

hey im not sure if your aware but if you dont want speed you can but a diffrent pulleyy for foamies that lets them have increased torque

[@jd2rs]

These wheels look sick

[@samsheffer]

indeed, jason, indeed

[@ClarkDroneFilms]

They look slick

[@HotNHorny]

They do. They are significantly larger than stock and it looks like a beast on the Boosted Board. I installed mine this week and the ride is much smoother for sure.

[@Peter.Fields.]

well, I do think that maybe you can take an evolve gtx, I don't like this brand but they have more power and also a lot of wheels options

[@BGaud]

It's like a boosted board for Overlanding! Awesome.

[@Justphred]

2:28 HAHA! great cut in

[@juanmasanchez]

I'm only watching this video because of those NYC shots, thanks sam :)

[@TheGSoutherland]

Watched your first boosted wheel video and didnt pull the trigger. I have a v2 and I'm gonna grab these!

[@Buffetology]

Your going to need a Booster Box range extender so your range does not suck du to the higher draw on the battery from pushing those big wheels

[@Nate_Wentwhere]

Those Supreme Shoes tho Fire

[@samsheffer]

thx

[@RL_81]

Bring this beauty to European cities, like Prague for example. It's all cubble stone. I bet those wheels might help with not loosing all teeth fillings, but once you fall with that speed...forget being left with any teeth.

[@TheRealJoeyB]

Typically ride sidewalks where I live, the cracks would hurt the ankles, have broken or sprained them 7 times total...so went to the OneWheel, but these larger tires would be better, would they fit on a V1

[@Collin_Cornwell]

New boosted video? You bet I hit that bell TwT

[@langcheng5443]

Vanguard style decks or any board with moderate flex will experience torsional flex and speed wobbles at 25+ mph.

[@carbon5r]

I have a mini x that runs 28mph on 90mm ollin popocas. I wonder if these foamies can do any better, what do you think?

[@mohammedthaer3267]

How is here to get back the memories of Boosted Board😭 Rest and peace ✌️

[@bikesandcoff3e]

About the battery swap. More weight usually carries more speed

[@MikeJobsonUK]

Plastic that acts as the bearing? Do they not have the larger sized bearings like the regular pulleys do? That board sits way to high for my liking. Nice video Sam 'Speed Junky' Sheffer :)

[@HotNHorny]

The pulley does not act as a bearing. He just mistated in the video. The inner bearing needs to be removed and the pulley fits inside the wheel and acts as a spacer. The pulley and wheel turns together and you only need two bearings. One small on outside of wheel and one within the pulley. Both wheels and pulley kit comes with ABEC 7s bearings pre-installed. Once installed, you will end up with 2 extra bearing spacers and 2 extra bearings.

[@ShredLights]

Those wheels are sick! We'd love to hear your feedback on our new SL-200 ShredLights for the Boosted Boards :)

Yeah you should do this on Stealth/Hypermode

[@davidgarciaparra]

Imagine if Michelin got into making Boosted wheels?!? Great video Sam!

[@linaandersson5815]

Thank you Sam, this was interesting, Which are the red wheels you have on your stealth?

[@theone8219]

Without the belt covers one small rock gets between the belt and the gears, the wheel locks and you go flying. Good luck.

[@MaVeRiCk77]

No belt covers on LaCroix. Never had an issue w/ either boards.

[@theone8219]

LJ Powell LaCroix motors are behind and above the wheels. Boosted motors are not. Therefore you’re a lot more likely to have rode debris get in them.

[@andrewskigordon4941]

Dude Sam I'm not gonna lie I'm a little worried about you man going through Manhattan with the speed, I guess your experienced but just be careful man, but put those on your stealth😂

[@BrettBrownlee]

I love foamies! I never feel the road!

[@gghdjekrkk7711]

[@king1ny]

Nice wheels!It's too bad Boosted got rid of the loaded decks.Big mistake.I don't think too many people like that composite deck on the new boards.Nothing beats the bamboo😔.I know two people who got the stealth and they both returned it.They still prefer the v2 over anything.

[@steliosantoniou]

hi sam hello from Cyprus. What about these wheels on a V1?

[@ItzLionz]

looks dope

[@tommie9377]

Could you compare exway x1 pro vs boosted stealth also nice video

[@garethsamuel3737]

You need to do more eboard vids Mr Sheffer. I don't understand why you don't, but maybe there is a reason. Either way, Esk8 needs you 👍

[@hellohogo]

those look so sweet. would you say they allow for an easier time over big cracks and grates?

[@agoogleuser6937]

Do you recommend the Slick Revolution Rough or Foamie wheels for cobblestone streets & truncated sidewalks?

thanks mr allen

you don need sacrifice torque if you put in bigger puley wil not be too faster but for city rider.. awsome
