Great review much anticipated, thanks! I got Cloudwheels and tried Mad Wheelz for 2 weeks, but went back to Cloudwheels because of comfort, a tiny bit more range and ability to roll over anything. That grass patch would be no match for my setup, which is great when you want to cut corners or just go offroad for a bit. Mad Wheelz totally disappointed me, they didn't bring me nearly as much joy as people lead you to belive. Yes, you can turn a bit harder at high speeds, but that comes with a lot more cons for me. Where'd you get your kegal pulley BTW? I used the 36T from Tynee but it was a hassle to get them to fit well enough. I think I should have just bought the Galaxy wheels from IWonder to avoid faffing about with pulleys. One upgrade that's cost effective and I can strongly recommend is to dewedge the back truck and put a raked truck on the front. I'm running 50° Caliber III Raked with the stock 90a bushing on the front and swapped the riser for a 4° Venom wedge on the back truck with 96a KranK. This has improved both the carve and stability. The Venom wedge (called Venom 1/2" Riser Wedge) is flexible enought to deal with the deck contour and brough the axel to the same height as the front trucks, but I had to DIY a solution to hold the cables down with a zip tie tucked behind the tail end of the wedge. Love this board, it's the ultimate balance of portability and power!
Im still experimenting with other wheels. Right now I got some bass camp glow wheels on there that also work pretty well. As for the pulley, I am using the pulley that came with the mad wheelz. I bought these through their site.
@krustov, I just bought this board but with their standard wheels and I've been finding it tricky to ride over unpaved streets in particular. Would you recommend biting the bullet and buying cloud wheels now, or waiting til my standard wheels deteriorate? Also, I see on Amazon that there are 105mm and 120mm options and I feel like 120mm would be best but I'm scared of wheel bite.
@@reedfrank9209 Don't go over 105 or you'll need higher spacers. I get slight wheelbite on the back even with 105's. If you need to ride over really rough roads or grass, 105 Cloudwheels are great, just stay away from water.
@@reedfrank9209 Well I only know it happened on the back because of the marks on the deck. On an esk8 with Hobbywing ESC, the motors will just try to power through the additional friction. If it's extreme enough though, it can slow or stop the board. It tends to happen when you're turning really hard, so not a great time to find out your bushings are not tight enough. It's happened to me on the front wheels when experimenting with soft bushings at slow speeds, and the board stopped dead, but I was ready for it and just jumped off.
@@chargencarve thanks 🙏 I like my mini 2 but I think the battery quality is poor. Thinking of upgrading to Samsung cells 6.6Ah about 237wh. Do you think it is worth it? 😉
Meh, maybe. You'll have to decide if the extra weight and cost of the battery will be worth it. 180wh isnt much on the mini2, but its also only 15 lbs.
Great stuff bro, literally just watched your Wowgo Mini 2 review and was pleasantly surprised to see you posted this just 11hr ago :)
Nice job!!

@@krustov cool, thanks. I've never had wheelbite before, is it actually dangerous or just more annoying than anything?

Great review mate ✌️So both mini2&2S battery cases are identical? Thank!
The battery enclosures? Yes they are.
@@chargencarve thanks 🙏

In your video you say that you carry this board on your back; what type/brand of backpack do u use for this? Thx
Look up RolliePack on amazon. Its a very small pack with only 1 pocket but it holds the board very well. IWonder also makes one thats similar.
@@chargencarve Sweet, thanks bro
@@chargencarve Do you know whether you have the rolliepack v1 or v2?
I have the v2.
