This is probably the best review on this board I've seen on RUclips but there isn't many to begin with. yoiu complaints kind of don't make sense, because if you want a board you can also push with, it will have to be lighter. Lighter means smaller batteries. Smaller batteries mean less range. I'm thinking about getting this board plus eventually getting a Tynee Stinger OG for range. The Stinger gets 33 miles but is a 26 pound beast. And its only about $900
Thank you for the compliment. I understand your point. I should of been more clear. While I like that it's lighter weight - I would prefer a bigger battery and a bit more weight. My main complaints about this board are really the brakes and the deck strength. You should get it. I miss it even with some of the problems. I want to try a Tynee also
I desperately need to replace my back wheels on my Magneto. They are shredded. I know that you said the wheels aren't that great but which kind would you recommend to replace them? I noticed they don't sell the original wheels on there website
I'm in SD and have the Sportster Hybrid and I agree with you on pretty much all of the points. The wheels are horrible. They are so hard, especially the rear wheels, which are pretty thin since it has to accomodate for the hub motors. Cloudwheels have donuts that are suppose to fit, but not sure if it will help much. As for the brakes, they don't engage right away for me either. They're decent but on a decent size hill, they will not slow the board down enough and foot braking is absolutely necessary. I have another eskate, which is a lot more expensive, so it might be unfair to compare but that one will completely stop on the same hill for me. I still like my sportster hybrid because it can free roll and feels a bit closer to regular skateboard/longboard than my heavy all terrain board that is huge, but I really do wish they have better wheel options and re-tune the brakes.
This is the first time I've ever heard the Hybrid Sportster v3 can't brake to a reasonable speed without foot braking. Can I ask if you have a v3 version and if you have turned the braking force up to max?
@@wilsgrant yes I have the v3. The problem for me is that the brake takes a split second and then it kicks in but it still feels kind of mushy when it kicks in. Definitely not confidence inspiring but I can still make it work. Under 20mph, it's okay if you have some time to brake. Problem is when going above 20mph, like 25mph and someone opens their car door on the side of the street, then the brakes are inadequate and won't be able to stop fast enough. They're also difficult to modulate going down very steep hills because they take a second to engage.
@@BN99239 I see, thanks for the detail. My only frame of reference is a hobby wing esc so hopefully I’m not disappointed. If so I guess I can always swap out the ESC.
I had this board and the exact same thing happened to me with the deck snapping in the same place. Company replaced it right away though! Great customer service. I ended up doing a deck swap with a loaded coyote and it was so easy. Still love this board even with all its issues.
Aye, there's a reason most hub motor riders use 105mm cloudwheel donut wheels... Problem is you lost more battery range with larger wheels/motors working harder
I got this board and sold it the same day. The break strength or lack of and the delayed response were a dealbreaker. I just got the exway wave instead. Might and day difference. Never will Justin get my money again.
What kinda connectors does it have on the ESC/battery? It's possible you might be able to use something else. My hobby is figuring out alternative/upgrade ESC's. (For instance Meepo V3/LingYi ESC on a Yecoo MTS > WowGo 3 Hobbywing ESC)
@@E-M-A-Z-I-N-G like I said, it depends what connectors your model has; I've a skill for scouring esk8 company websites and finding suitable parts, no experience chopping and swapping on new connectors. The most common are older bullet x6 and yellow XT30 connectors, but some use 6-pin round connectors.

Best review I've seen on anything. Super chill and fair. Subd
WOW! Thank you

Glad to hear it wasn't just me! Nice of Bustin Boards to replace their busting boards

Harder durometer equals less rolling resistance. Softer wheels would just reduce the range even further

I'm not sure. What kind of upgrades can you do?

Too big wheels they do a much better one looks like a real board can't recall the name but it's a bustin for sure
Your review is amazing bro
Thanks bro! I'd love try out one of your boards
we should totally collab!

Did you try mounting their hardware to a typical board just for funsies? I'd love to see that. (I'd love to do that)
I didn't. That's a great idea
Great review.
Thanks!
