Acedeck Nyx Z3 Electric Skateboard: Range Results & 600km Update

[@acedeckboards]

All our new boards have a gasket that keeps the bushing screw from moving at all :) No more falling bushing screw. For older batches, as others have said below, purple loctite should do the trick, or some tape around the bushing screw!

[@haydenbowles7759]

is there any chance of batch 1 or 2 purchasers receiving the new gaskets?

[@arranwilliams2523]

You guys are truly the best! Still supporting my S3 a year out! Thats why i just ordered the N1 because you guys have proven reliable and stand behind your innovative and amazing products!

Blue lock tight works just fine sitting at 150 miles lost 2 at around 50miles board now has just over 200miles

[@scottdaviesyoutube]

maybe mine is old, I brought it like 8 years ago, ill try a fresh bottle this weekend

[@user-xj7cj4bx3n]

yes, i too use this thing. after using not loose screw at all

[@scottanderson5735]

I’ve just ordered the evolve binding looks like they might be made by MBS. An option for anyone that doesn’t want to wait for MBS restock

[@daflip1500]

Wrap that bushing screw with electrical vinyl tape. About 5 times around, make sure sure you wrap it the same way it tightens. Cut off excess tape. Then apply blue loctite and you are all set. My bushing screws have not moved at all and it's been 500miles and counting.

[@poulan9]

I'd say use plumbers tape which is specifically made for threads.

[@daflip1500]

Teflon should work but the electrical tape is to make the gap alot tighter inside the hole in the bushing. There's no thread in there. Just the smooth shaft of the grub screw. That's why I still put the loctite on the threaded part. It's actually 675miles now and still haven't moved at all 😊

Scott - I am a huge fan of your reviews. Currently live in Puebla MX. I am a fan of Acedeck, their CNC and quality makes me feel better about bashing their boards on these awful Mexican roads. On your recommendations, I have bought the S1, Stella Mini and the Nomad 90A. I am ready for an upgrade - I am torn between the N3 nomad or just spending the extra for the NYZ. Either way - it's a good problem to have.

[@scottdaviesyoutube]

Thank you and Yes its a nice choice you have. Both boards are fantastic

[@WorldwideDarts]

Curious, the Acedeck Nomad 3 now has a belt drive version with a near 1300wh battery for under $1500. Any chance of a review in the future or no? I know you already reviewed the gear drive version.

[@slargo83]

Great update! Glad to see they addressed the tolerance issues. I actually cancelled my order because of this and got the Lorentz Major. I do love it but almost wish I wouldn't have been impatient and waited for Acedeck to release the V2. Cheers!

[@alexj013]

Awesome vid Scott. Definitely gonna pick this one up with your code. Also DnB in the background pleases me deeply hahah.

[@scottdaviesyoutube]

Z3 and D&B just feels right !

[@arranwilliams2523]

ok so I just bought the N1 but im very close to a promotion in the next few months at work and i think im going to grab me one of these to go in my lineup. That way i have a flexi board, a super fast 2 in 1 and a mountainboard with insane range! i freaking love Acedecks boards i hope they have a good sale for black friday or thanksgiving!

[@eBoard3R]

*Love follow up videos!!* 🤙🏽⚡️🤟🏽⚡️🤙🏽 Enjoyed the cool shots throughout, sets a nice tone, the birds, the sun, the mellow music, chill ride. 👌🏽 the vlog style shots 👌🏽👌🏽 Love how Acedeck address points raised and update things between batches, and send out the fixes to people who bought previous batches 👏🏽👏🏽 Lookin forward to the Livestream and the new stuff!! Love these 15-20min esi8 videos!!

[@scottdaviesyoutube]

Hey Benny, Thanks for watching, Have you booked your Deadpool tickets ?

[@eBoard3R]

@@scottdaviesyoutube yes! Made sure I booked 'em 6 weeks early with the hype surroundin it, best seats sellin out in popular locations, I'm lookin forward to it but temperin expectations 😂 You booked yours? Maybe we can get a Deadpool / Wolverine themed esk8 video from you soon?

[@ajplant96]

One of the newer group ride spots you came across in this one! Making me think another Gateway ride is in order soon 👌🏻

[@scottdaviesyoutube]

Count me in

[@ajplant96]

@@scottdaviesyoutubeWill line it up in the schedule, still got a few new new ones and a lot of track nights in the lead up to ERL’s event first

[@CraigTaylorYT]

Great review mate. So good to see the different ranges. Loving your videos as usual.

[@scottdaviesyoutube]

Thanks GREG, love your videos as well lol

[@Mapleaple]

Great now I wanted to buy a board, but now i guess I'll wait for this new upcomming board.

[@timstockman9297]

Thread loctite - over 700km now on NYX Z1, all offroad trails no issues apart from gear drive bearings need maintenance as the thin bearings tend to suck in dust/dirt, wheel bearings & motors fine. Get the bindings you'll love it more!

[@Catamount19]

Acedeck's future is bright.. I can't wait to see what is coming!! :) I hope they make a raceboard for Esk8con 2025 lol.

[@fujio001]

I would love to see one too!

[@scottdaviesyoutube]

@fujio001 it would be hard to beat if they did

[@retrothruster2539]

I haven't lost a grub screw yet but I'm constantly checking them, be nice if there was room for a jam nut, maybe they'll redesign in the future, I've thought about trying safety wire, just too lazy to get the drill out. Probably gonna sell Z3 and try the N3, I don't really need the suspension.

[@jonnybryant5189]

I'd suggest 222 purple low strength Loctite for the bushing screws.

[@scottdaviesyoutube]

Thanks ill check it out

[@biddle444]

Was ridin behind someone and watched one of his bushings fall out. Came out a couple times. I’m betting that Acedeck will come up with something to fix that. 😎🔥 nice update.

[@davidheath2427]

I chickened out and got the x1 . Great board, with heaps of go and stop . Will go for a ride at minnippi and see if I can find that off road track it has escaped me to this point . Nice to see you give range spec and style to suit .

[@lod4964]

Did you upgrade bushings? Or leave it stock on z3. I'll be ordering my board this month. Z3 for me and wife is getting N3.

[@gilmoregibson9184]

Do a video on the new Propel X4r! It is like the propel endeavor 2GT and x4s had a baby. And now they have gear drive for the propel endeavors

[@scottdaviesyoutube]

@@gilmoregibson9184 the X4R is in transit to me, unfortunately the size and weight meant it had to come by boat 🛥️

[@mjg2332]

So after watching this last night I believe I came up with a solution to the screws falling out...I'll try to find your socials and send you a pic but basically I took an alan head screw same thread count and same length...machined the head to look like the screws that came with the board...then drilled a hole in the head of the bolt to allow tie wire to go through both screws...once screwed into place and tie wired together their is no way for them to back out...I'll do my best to send you a pic...by the way thanks for the great video...I purchased this board because of your review so much appreciated...also I love the board.

[@rafaelvega59]

Very nice board. I love my N3. I’ve put 700 miles on it. Just regressed the gears, it does seem a little noisy. Have you had any problems with the gear drive?

[@cassysamel3914]

I enjoy riding my N3 as well. It’s so smooth and easy to carve. Everything feels premium and well thought out. But I only feel comfortable riding it on street or smooth dirt. I’m thinking about picking up a Z3 for rougher terrain.

[@rafaelvega59]

@@cassysamel3914 I agree with you on this. I ride 6 inch novas on the street and use 7 inch novas for off road but I still have to ride slower because I’ve almost fallen going too fast off road. The Z3 sounds perfect for these off road conditions

[@kutvis]

Thank you for the video, I bought starter esk as I was hoping this finally can carry fast riding for 60+ km. But I couldn't stay up to my mates with EUC even with this one. Just too little range :( Perhaps the Z4 will have what it takes.

[@Noturdaddy-e1m]

That a great board but I'm being patient and holding out for the z5.

[@scottdaviesyoutube]

Z5 Will be awesome, Will be in a different category from the Z3 but still AWESOME

[@Noturdaddy-e1m]

I wanted to like the ruckus but the z3 tops it

[@aaronks7222]

Love that you are still rocking the VancouverESK8 sticker. Great vid! -Mochi's owner from esk8con

[@AnkerEde]

Are you getting the propel x4r and is there an endeavour 3 pro on the horizon?

[@scottdaviesyoutube]

Yes and not too sure 👍🏻

[@AnkerEde]

@@scottdaviesyoutube really looking forward to the review. Thinking about getting one for my daily commute but im not too sure how it handles on brisbane roads and if it's too wide for sidewalks and tight turns at traffic lights etc. Would also be interesting how it compares to the nyx Z3 and endeavour series.

[@bubb25211]

Scott!!!! What is your favorite board today? I’ve been watching your channel and a few others. I thought I was down to two boards for my choice. The new endurance 2.0 or the Endevor2 GT gear drive. Just found this board and very interested. Out of those three which one do you prefer? I have the Hurricane right now with 500 miles on it and I only get 16-20 miles range. I’m 210 lbs and ride on asphalt and packed gravel

[@scottdaviesyoutube]

I’d look at the N3 or Z3 The other two are nice but don’t compare to these

[@scottdaviesyoutube]

My favorite as of now is the NYX z3

[@bubb25211]

Thank you!!

[@cassysamel3914]

What do you think about this vs the upcoming Propel X4R? I’m trying to decide whether to get the Z3 or X4R. I think the only disadvantage of the Z3 is its 2WD.

[@scottdaviesyoutube]

@@cassysamel3914 pm on instagram and we can chat @scottdaviesyoutube

[@mboles32]

I remember a segment in a video from Vegas highlighting the Z5. I've been excited since. 6 months is a long time to wait! I need a new board now! Ahh I hope somebody does something with some unheard of range abilities soon.

[@poulan9]

Where is that video?

[@mboles32]

Man I'm racking my brain. Not even sure if it was one of Scotts vids. I'm certain it was from esk8con and it was at Acedecks tent.

[@poulan9]

@mboles32 thanks. Difficult to imagine where they go next after a board like this that seems to have it all.

We all got free upgraded swing arms because someone had a failure, ACEDECK went over the top for all of us that bought boards and gave us ALL A new set!! If you’re thinking of buying the new Z3 trust me, DO IT! AceDeck will take care of you if you have any issues, which you rarely do. I’ve never had an issue and I beat the shit out of mine 😂

[@jjacoby1010]

What's your shoe size? I wear size 12 mens US and I'm worried about not having enough space with the largest battery. Any advice?

[@poulan9]

You don't find the weight an issue putting it in and out of the car or when you get to the shops?

[@CraigAndres]

Hi, can you limit the speed on this board while you are learning?

[@scottdaviesyoutube]

100% it’s all done in the remote you can the speed limit and acceleration for each speed mode

[@phizicks]

couldn't see it well but 2 nuts locking each other.... and some lock tight hehe.thought they would be nylon threaded, no good?

[@anavarzau4984]

Where can I order one of these in Australia? Brisbane here

[@Waz0]

Great video Scott👏

[@Surr0n_lbx]

Whats the range with 1037wh?

[@jabo5779]

If loctite won't do the trick then Acedeck needs to tap set screws for those. I really can't believe they don't already have this. There is so much room for them to redesign that plate and add set screws. Any screw like this that is used to adjust tension will be loose by design since riders are playing with them to adjust the bushing tension I assume. A set screw coming in at a perpendicular angle that makes contact with the bushing screw once you have them where you want them would stop this. Loctite should work, but it's not the best solution. Push on Acedeck to fix it. I'll be watching to see if they address it. I'm not far from getting this board... but I am going to wait for everything to be ironed out first. Sitting on a scooter that I first batched and I'm done being an early adopter for a bit.

[@jean-guillotin]

Let's wait for the Z5

[@vivianblick-l7w]

Loctite 243 for the bushing screws

[@Surr0n_lbx]

Help! My left side of the Board (the Motor) I Can spinn with no move but the other side is working

[@bubb25211]

Hey, can anyone answer this for me? Can you take the battery box off easily? The reason I’m asking is that would be awesome for us to live in cold climates I could leave the board in my garage during the winter and the box inside.

[@scottdaviesyoutube]

Not really but they are launching a quick release very soon for the NYX range so yea it will be a 5 second task

[@davidheath2427]

Sorry I forgot about the Allen keys . I carry a set of gorilla folding keys . Or a set designed for bikes . I agree about the danger of coming off and stabbing yourself. Would not be good .
