I’m on the countryside of poland right now (my grandma celebrated her 90th birthday here). I ran out of mobile data and I had to go through some struggles to be able to watch this video. But it was totally worth it! I love the front and rear handles. I was a bit concerned that the front bumper didn’t seem to have a handle. But there it is🎉. And it’s on both sides. Everything on the board seems to be so thought through. And it looks like it’s performing amazingly. I enjoyed this video a lot. Thanks! Oh and the next time I’ll come to the countryside here, I’ll hopefully have my ADV Pro with me. I’m dreaming of it while walking through the forests here 😅

[@floatwheel]

around 35 degree C here in the north hemisphere

[@floatwheel]

and its a 5T sample motor so it might seem esc is hotter than the motor but with Production motor they will be 6T so current will be cut by 20% and esc runs cooler, also considering making an upgrade esc heatsink to be thicker and mounts to topside instead of the bottom of the box, but I'm afraid the smd caps might fall due to their heavy weight

[@AmericanSmallArms]

Tony, WD-40 isn't really a good lubricant. 'WD' actually stands for 'water displacement' and is more for loosening rusty parts (it not even that great at that compared to Gibbs or Kroil). You'd be better off using Tri-Flow oil or even better, grease it with Krytox GPL-202 and never have to touch it again!

[@floatwheel]

Thanks a lot lemme try em

[@KaizenOz]

@@floatwheel yeah.. wd40 acts a solvent and strips the oil/grease from the bearing. Need some good seals like badger used to make maybe? High quality bearings should run well for a long time

[@quantumvortex3942]

Agreed, WD40 is a very average product. I have found Applied Industrial Technologies Corrox HD Corrosion-X to be superior to anything, it forms a molecular bond to the metal surfaces and eliminates any corrosion tendencies, even if there is existing corrosion it is neutralized and protected from any further degradation.

[@jinkiescoob]

Great stuff. Good to see it. Would like to see some hill climbing. What happens if you go down a hill with full battery? And warning?

it will trigger a ov tiltback and you really shouldn't go down hill with full battery, that's the most stupid thing to do

[@MrDmadness]

Great product. I'm going to be building this fall and I'll be ordering for sure. Just one thing. Do not use wd40 it's literally fish oil, and attracts dirt. Bearings are greese packed and should be fine if they are quality bearings. Krk bearings have integral dust seals in them, as do most expensive sets. Adding oil of this type attracts more bad than iT does good, if you MUST use oil, then get chain oil from a bike shop, there are "wet" and "dry variants " wet is for mud, dry is dust conditions, these are statically charged with a negative charge ( wet ) that helps repel dust and mud as waTer is slightly negative in polarity. They dry variant used a different additive.. point is they are much better oils for this use, respectfully:)

[@deweytann]

[@dash4786]

Unfortunately this is kind of a downer for me because I have an XR and a GT. The GT is pretty much at the limit of weight. It's actually too heavy in my opinion but I keep it for my long range float board. It gives me 28 miles no problem but usually at 18 I'm stopping to break anyway. So this thing being heavier is a no for me.

[@tiztrain]

Man I'm excited. I saw you mentioned it was washable, would be good to know if you could test with a pressure cleaner. Will better represent hitting water at speed or the tire flicking water off itself at speed. Then i will feel comfortable that it's water proof 😄

Is there anyway to add wheels to the end of the board like the fangs and at the same time add some retractable handle so that when u run out of battery you can drag it along like a suitcase. The XR is already a heavy thing to carry for more than 1 minute, cant imagine how heavy this thing is gonna be.

[@Eryktion]

If you run out of battery, the best thing you can do is take your shoe laces and tie it around the rear bumper. Then you can pull the board behind you with the battary side facing forward. Never tried it, but saw it online somewhere.

Wondering what max speed is on the adv pro? I see you hit about 35kmph in this video, which is great. My stock XR can just touch 40 on flat ground with its 3hp motor; surely the 6hp of the adv pro could do more than that if it was really pushed?
