    After replacing the AT wheels for the Street Wheels I went for a ride. After a while a noise came from the back wheels. One of the motors got slighly loose from the cog and the belt got kind of loose. Could not ride anymore. I did not have the tool kit with me so I took the board home walking. At home I put the motor back to its place, but when trying to turn the board on It did not turn on. Placed it to recharge and nothing. It does not turn on anymore Can someone help? How can I diagonose the problem? Looking at the tutorial online I was told not to over tight the screws and now the board is broken. Make sure to tighten well the screws that controls the motor belt tension and when changing wheels. Feeling sad on Xmas

    I have just discovered the issue after opening up the board and checking all connectors. One of the cables was disconnected. I have fixed it and discovered that I have to take owership of the board specially living here in Spain. I saw many videos and put myself into it, opening up and understanding how it works. This is fine, but what is unacceptable is that a power cable gets so easily disconnected after 3 weeks with the board and riding it Six times. Imagine if I am riding the board and the energy goes off. Scary... Brothers I do recommend everyone to open up their boards and to place some glue over the power cable as I did. Some photos...

    a little hot snot on connectors isn't a bad idea, its a well known trick for electrics in the RC world where even soldered connections subject to vibration will fatigue the wire and it will break right where it meets the solder on the circut board.
    as for motor mounting screws use the soft compound thread lock snug em up good but do not over tighten that also can lead to fractured fasnings when subject to vibration, you may also damage the threads or the hex.
    a small upgrade to consider is swapping all the hex fastnings for torqux type they are less likely to round out especially when trying to remove them after been threadlocked.
