Additional Features | I bought the motor guard a long time ago. I haven't been in a situation yet where I'm relieved that I have it on there. It is much lower than the motor so it drags on tight right turns and hits obstacles. But highly recommended for when I let friends try it out. Who knows what they will do ;) The db9 connectors is the best thing about this scooter. I have an 8s charger. So instead of messing with two 4s jst-xh connectors and two charging cycles I can make a single easy balance connection to charge. |
Just a raw scooter. The li-po batteries can dump 100 amps, the controller can pass 100 amps, the motor can draw 100 amps. The torque will throw you off if you aren't prepared for it. I've been riding this for over a year and it still catches me off guard sometimes! Took this to a skate park. Had a great time just driving it around. I won't attempt any tricks, the folding hinge would probably explode. |
