    Hi all
    Is it normal that the wheels do not stop at the same time?
    I lift the back up and fully accelerated. I noticed that the botj wheels doesn't stop at the same time.
    How can I adjust it?

    Thanks for the link. But I already watched it. Unfortunately he just say that a little bit of async is ok . He doesn't say what to do if it is not 'just a bit ' :-/

    On the one that stops last tighten the belt. Or loosen off the one that stops 1st :thumbsup:

    also make sure your wheel nut isn't done up too tight

    Really thank you for all the answers!
    I will try to loosen the one a bit off. I can't make the other tighter because it's already on the most outer position.
    I hope the belts would not be too loose after adjustment :-/

    Yeah it's just a matter of playing to get right. If they click when you break then that's too loose :punch::thumbsup::beers:

    Just got my board and WOW GT mode is fast BUT when I pull the trigger with the board upside down one wheel wobbles a little bit and has more resistance than the other wheel so it stops quicker. Anyone come across this issue?

    Maybe deflating and inflating the tyre and with some air out try to check if it sitting correctly. I did see a video of someone adding balance weights but that's a lot of work in my view

    I noticed the wobbles on all of my AT wheels, removed tires and all to check thinking they were the tires/inner tire. Ends up the plastic AT wheel hubs are actually not very well made, they are not straight by themselves and wobble everywhere. We need a source for better AT wheel hubs, plastic or even aluminum?

    I notice even on my stock Bamboo GT street set up the hubs are not perfectly straight - rides fine but a slight bit of vibration in the truck when upside down in test mode - QA still room for improvement

    also notice that some of the motors are not in alignment vertically when looking from the back ? - looks like the motor plates are not always perfect either

    A 6" tubeless tire on an magnesium wheel. Somebody start a Kickstarter.

    Same here, I noticed this from day one but it looks to me as only as something aesthetically and will not impact using the board. If I have time I will try to loosen the screws and see if there is a little room to move the plates and re-align the motors.

    the ones I've seen that are out, are pretty far misaligned - hopefully there is a bit of room - but looks like the holes are not drilled straight on some motor plate batches (they should just match them up before final assembly if possible) - or even better yet use a jig or similar so they are drilled right in the first place

    At the end of this video at (4:40)

    he shows an example of what to do if the motors stop at different times.
