I have the old boosted board stealth that i bought used years ago, and i want one of these new boards but theyre just so expensive. The ares x3 would cost me a little over $2000 after taxes and shipping.
My knee-jerk reaction to finding out it is not all wheel drive was disappointment.... However after watching this video and seeing your body language and how the board handles, This is definitely worthy to add to the collection. I do love my AT boards but the urethane wheel has a very special place for me. Even though it is not a performance board, that is why I love the Bustin Boards Sportser Eskate..... It's as core of a longboard feeling as you can get on an electric ride that I have experienced so far.
So im totally going to be doing custom metal tributes on my boards after seeing this! I think ill get Nocturnal by TBDM on the N1, Master of puppets album cover on the S3, and i just need to figure out what will be perfect for the Nalu! That will make all my boards just pop that much more!
That's a great choice, the N3 is a super solid board. I have the belt drive version and ill be making a video on it ASAP! but first impressions are incredible for the price!
@DrewElia Good to hear! I'll be looking forward to your video. Just subbed! 👍🏻 Let me know if ya need a dartboard for the shop. I'll get one sent your way
Maybe this would be a good board to try the 6mm Yoc Grip with! As for more Wah Pah factor, Acedeck could try to make the trucks compatible with tall (0.75) bushings. This is the most stable road-specific deck I have ever ridden.
Iv been pushin the mad wheels on my ares x1 and they absolutely refuse to lose grip. The Ares series can take a beating for sure. Great review🤘🔥. Dammit that looks like a fun ride😍😎
Agree! The fact the the mad wheels Comes stock is a massive plus in my book! Thanks brother! Appreciate it! Looking forward to seeing you in NYC electrify expo!
Stock, the board is setup of stability, mainly due to the wide bushing cups. Swap them for flat bushing washers or flip the botto, cup around so that it acts as a flat washer, and you’ll get a much more loose and tighter turning radius. Softer bushings for the rear are also included in the box!
So for not much more you could have the interstellar. For ripping around town, to and from work , which would you prefer? Love your videos. I'd always love to hear more comparisons of the boards your reviewing to their close competitors that you have experience with. Thanks Drew
Ohhhhhh! This is a good question!! Alright so both are stable at high speeds due to the trucks! The nexus trucks are more carve feel due tot he ability to have split angle adjustments! So the WAAH PAAH factor is more on the intersteallar. Range they both get about the same for me pending how aggressive or chill I ride, the intersteallar maybe a little less due to the higher motor amps I have it set to for MORE POWAHHH 🤣 but both can get into to 30s if I chill ride The looks they both stand out on their own love the look of both of them! The interstellar though because of the belt drive allows me to throw on AT wheels like the NOVAS so that is a plus for the interstellar. Honestly you’re going to be happy with either one of these board choices. Intersteallar as 2-1 options and more power than you need 🤣 the acedeck is perfectly light weight and powerful enough for any around town rips. I think it comes down to looks, 2-1 features for anyone looking at the two of them.
High Drew. Great review as usual. One question. As you tested both: Not regarding the price, which one would you chose between the X3 and the Diablo ? Thanks for your honest answer.
First off. Thank you for being here! Stopping in to check. Our the video it’s very much appreciated! To answer your question, both. 🤣 they are two totally different boards. I’d honestly keep both in my line up. X3 ultimate street wheel king and the Diablo CARBON cause both stiff decks offers that AT ability with just such an awesome WAAH PAAH factor. Does that make sense? If I want to go fast X3 If I want an overall carve fast experience, the Diablo carbon. The Diablo bamboo is even more of a carve experience. But has a different story. I like these questions!
This thing turns like a big ass boat, its the only thing I can think of that's a major draw back for me. Might have to swap out the bushings for something slightly softer.
Yeah the bushings are meant for stability more than turning. Grab a set of riptides Krank formula look at their website to see what you need for your weight or how you like to ride!
Looks like they hit a home run with this board. Does I really go 38 mph cause my ares X1 belt says 60 km on remote which should be 37 but in reality it goes 32 mph.. which is still pretty fast imo. The boards just under 30 lbs which is great. Those gear drives are beautiful. I’m currently waiting on an MBoards endurance 2.0+ so I probably won’t be in the market for a long time but if I was I would prob buy this board.
Thanks for checking out the channel! My weight on here I hit 37mph with the speed radar, I would say that remotes aren’t the mosttttt reliable better to track via GPS app or dragy system. Anything above 30 is fast. People don’t need to go 30+ all the time. It’s nice to have the head room for when you need/want to but I found 25-30 just an awesome cruising speed. Yes light weight and compact, fast, good range. Just a nice deck overall Very nice pick up on the endurance.
Man I love your reviews. ALways creative and great footage. I'm tempted to hit the checkout on Acedeck's website. But honestly coming from a Zeus Pro with Hobbywing 9028, how do you think it compares powerwise and acceleration to the current 2 in 1 style boards like a Zeus Pro, B One tian, Propel, etc? I rock the Mad Wheels already on most of my boards.
First off thank you so much for supporting the channel! I put a lot of effort into the videos and it means a lot to me when people say nice things! This board has 120amps and the new 6375 170kv motors are more powerful. But that being said, the Zeus pro is a great board! Especially with the mad wheels. You’re going to have a similar experience Ila’s far as ride feel but with more power and top end speed. Is it worth it? That’s up to you! If you’re a thane lover this board provides a lot of fun, stability, power, in a compact style board.
In the description click on the YOC grip link and reach out the team make sure to use the discount code to save a few bucks on the board and the grip tape combo!
It’s one of the most stable boards it’s meant for high end speed, with the split angle deck, 170kv motors, and 120amp esc it’s all designed around going fast and being stable!
Would this actually be an upgrade from Evolve's Hadean? The trucks seem wider, board as well, and shorter. Looks super fun. Gears are nice... battery/range and power? I'm not interested in speed, but in torque... Thanks for the vid, I'm mega jealous of this ride!
First off thanks for stopping by and saying what’s up! Appreciate you! This is a different class over a hadean. It will have more power but the ride won’t feel the same. Coming from DKP to TKP trucks it’s a much much more stable ride and less of a carve feel. The newer Diablo from Evolve though has more off the line torque due to the 66t gearing. Plus you can use 2-1 set up with the Diablo, pending what you’re looking forward to, the X3 is a dream speed cruiser. Just a rocket ship to top speed and stable feeling. So if you’re looking for torque this has some great acceleration but more geared for fast cruising.
@@DrewElia Thanks for that! I'm a heavier rider, so that's why I prefer the board to have a little bit more kick than top speed. But man this board looks sexy! :)
@@DrewElia Speaking of fast charging I know that the Lipo4 batteries that ecoflow uses for the power banks can have a 3000 charge cycle life charging at 1200 watts making it go from 0-100% in just around one hour. It's an insane amount of charge with a great cycle life. I think many of these consumer level production boards are sticking with what I call "Snail Charging" likely do to reasons of longevity of the type of batteries they use.
Hey Drew, I have an AceDeck N1, and love it…w/ the exception of the foot fatigue that many have complained about w/ AceDeck Nomad’s shape. I am thinking however of adding a horse to the stable, and value your opinion. I am similarly weight, size and riding style to you @ 215 lbs / 6’1”. Am considering either LinnPower MK1, OMW (either board) or Bamboo Diablo! Of those options…any recommendations for a clear winner?
Oh my! What an awesome line up of pony’s 😆! Well let’s start with this question, what do you want most from your second board that you aren’t getting from your first? Reason being is you’ve named several different style of boards , power, WAAH PAAH feel, range, 2-1 a lot to consider here! So what are you missing from your N1 that you want to fill in the second board?
@@DrewElia well, I need a 2nd board for various reasons anyway. One breakdown or wanna add change of pace or bring someone along that doesn’t have a board with them etc. N1 is great, have both 6” Pneumatic and Mad V2’s. On this I’m looking for something that has a lil more deck flex. Rode Diablo Bamboo…love it. Am also interested in Cavalry and LinnPower as they would also add good carved flex and all have reasonable range and off road ability. Even Hussar might be nice as the 2nd board. They all are flexible. Most are 2 in 1. I think you’ve ridden them all and am curious if you had to pick just one, which you’d go for.l? I’m not gonna hold you to the fire, as it’s my decision. Just want to know which one you like riding the most…keeping in mind I already have a great “non flexible” board that I really like for what it is!
@dennisboyle1875 so you chose four of the best flexible decks in the game 😆. The hussar for me is slightly better than the Calvary due to the shape. It’s a wider platform for bigger feet but also the drop down and curved edges holds my feet very nicely. I wish the hussar had the same battery as the Calvary! They both are super nice as far as carve ride feel but the hussar with the 6” wheels doesn’t get the most out of the battery pack. It’s got the power but at the lower end of the pack you feel the sag and top speed drops which is normal to any battery but I dont know why it felt slightly more on on that one. But that being said when it was on sale for $899 it was a killer deal for a 12/3 amazing carve ride feel 6” CNC wheels and that wave grip tape, it’s a work of art! The Calvary has an awesome ride feel again that deck is unlike any others depending your option you choose! It’s got a great overall feel and plenty of power and range to put down to the road. Now they offer the CNC trucks which I can only imagine give it even more reliability and WAAH PAAH factor with the right bushing set up. Also both the hussar and Calvary didn’t need any bushing adjustments out of the box for my ride style. They were super fun to carve at low speeds and then I could hammer down on hit 30 mph with no wobbles! Hobbywing 9028 series has been a great esc, breaking could be a little tighter but it’s smooth power delivery. The Diablo bamboo is THE. WAAH. PAAH. machine. Full stop. So much so that I had to tighten down the bushing and due to the deck push out the wheel base to the secondary holes ( which I love for any company to start doing) plus with the new upgraded ESC they somehow in some way pulled out the most amount of power out of any 12/4 set up I’ve been on. And it still had power at the Low end of the pack. I mean 14% and hitting 25mph plus was great. The Diablo series has power for days, range and looks. I love the bamboo deck and how they have crafted the slight drop down for your foot pocket and overall the smooth power from the Efoc 2.0 it’s a very smooth machine. Price aside customer service being localized to certain countries you can deal with people in the USA and bring it to a service center which is nice. Linnpower spent a lot of time and effort on RND to get it right out of the gate. That deck is wide and flat, very snowboard like feels. With bindings as an option it gives you even more of a snowboard feel. Super wide trucks and large 8” tires you can really run over anything and you’re good. It’s not the same WAAH PAAH factor as a DKP becuase of the channel trucks, you can swap out the bushings for different set ups but this board is meant for that off road stability and nice long powder like carves. The range is probably the least out of all of the boards because of those larger wheels eating up the battery and me doing a lot of off roading with it, so the 12/4 pro version giving you 1000WH is amazing even with 8” wheels you’re going to have range for days! I love the look and feel of this board because it reminds me so much of snowboarding. Plus it has a lot of customization in mind with DIY quality. I don’t know if that helps you narrow it down to any specific one because you’ve chosen some really good boards! If you are looking for a less stiff deck some great carves and plenty of range and power I’d look at the Calvary, bamboo diablo, and Linnpower. Calvary and diablo being amazing carve and snappy response. The Linnpower for something completely different but has the flex and bounce also another gear drive, I’d would say go with the pro for most range possible!
@dennisboyle1875 there you go! Haha whenever someone asks me what board I would ride forever i literally can’t choose. I need a top 5 at a minimum for different purposes! I’m not telling people to drop $6k on boards but build it up over time. Short board, long board, 2-1, mountain board, and a long distance or race board if you’re into that. That would be a seriously great line up to rotate through
For the price it's decent. I have hit too many pot hole I couldn't see on group rides to ever ride Street Wheels on an E-Sk8. with 38mph and 30 miles of range on street wheels they must be using a small battery or just using all it's power in torque.
120amp esc and 170kv motors. You’re going to just want to floor it everywhere 😆 777wh of capacity I found myself really in S+ mode just ripping it every where which definitely cuts through battery life.
Wonder why they got rid of the 4WD direct drive :( I purchased the X3 at launch last y ear and its been beautiful. (aside from the deck failing after 6 weeks but they shipped me a new one!)
A few reasons, actually! Which are the cost of parts, the increased failure rate since you had two escs, and two more motors, but mainly, because even in 4WD we were not happy with the performance of the board, especially in braking and acceleration. With our new tiny gear drives, we were able to make the board lighter, faster, more reliable, and also, cheaper by 300$ on launch!
What ESC issues? I had my X3 for 1 days and the ESC failed, that was in May. I finally received the replacement yesterday, only to learn I have to now destroy the grip tape to access the bolts to replace the ESC wtf !!!
Hey! Our old ESC issues that meant the remote would not be able to pair again the ESC after the burned had been turned off, has indeed been taken care off. We also radically improved the trottle curves, tightened the deadzone, and made the acceleration much smoother.
Hey @@projectmayhem2330, well, our repair center did have to access these bolts to repair your board, but a new griptape should have been installed. You‘re welcome to reach out to customer service and explain your situation, and we will send you a fresh new griptape.
@@acedeckboards I literally sitting here now putting a replacement ESC that died after 2 rides, into the board. I’ve had to remove/ruin the grip tape just to get to the ESC, to find the ESC had that much glue/silicone in the housing that it’s almost impossible to get out without a jack hammer. You guys really need to think of the customer if:when they have to replace something. Have you fixed this huge flaw in this board ?
@@projectmayhem2330 Some old generation Ares boards indeed had more glue than others holding the ESC in place. And yes; now it’s much easier to take off if need be. Where did you purchase your X3? you’re talking about the old generation one, correct?
this has amazing top end speed and decent off the line acceleration. it depends on what you mean by acceleration, do you want off the line torque or something that pulls all the way to 30mph and above? The Nomad series has insane off the line torque this X3 is just so stable and rips all the way up to top speed. but it builds smoothly through the mid range.
its about being courteous though right? cars are allowed drive faster, and you're riding much slower and you have the capability to keep riding while letting them pass, so let them pass then go back in the road...its almost like when ppl pull into th overtaking lane when the car behind was clearly driving much faster.
@@ccudjoe89 Yeah, to a certain extent but if it's a long road and cars keep coming up, it doesn't make sense to keep pulling over every few seconds. If anything just get to the side of the road and hopefully the car can pass. Still, people that just yell things out like that guy in the video are annoying because it doesn't even affect him and it's a shared bike lane so yelling that out just makes him sound like an ass.
@@BN99239 looked like an officer...they coulda got on them for filming in traffic without a permit, but instead they just asked him to let ppl pass. i think that's fair. also why they probably just obliged
The one thing I don’t like about my long board the (1x max riot board) is that I don’t like how you can’t turn right corners like a skateboard with a tail
Yeah bushing selection would help with that as well, getting better shaped or duro bushings will give you more leaning ability with out sacrificing stability
@@DrewEliaI don’t know how I missed you saying that, I just rewatched and heard you say it haha. Thank you brother! And my gearing is 4.3 on new Omni esk8 AT gear drive
@@DrewElia 35?? that's so fast, I am over 50 (years old) so that means broken everything if I wreck. Hey I gotta question: So I have the short Meepo board, the ER2, could I buy a long board and just take the parts off the Meepo and put them on a new board?
*Epic timelapse at the start, wish it was a touch bit longer* 🤙🏽⚡️🤟🏽⚡️🤙🏽 Nothin beats "thane" 🤩 that speed is Mental though 😱🔥 AceDeck keeps hittin it outta the park 👌🏽 Split angles again 🤩 hellova custom grip tape! Stick of truth was about as jealous of the light saber as Thor's StormBreaker axe was against his hammer Mjolnir in Thor 4 😂 50S seems the newest darlin, with more capacity than Moli's at the same physical size 👌🏽 "Ace" choice to include Mad V2 as stock 👌🏽 was that a Karen complainin at 9mins 25sec lol? 😂 Space-age lookin eBoard. Banger edit as always 🤙🏽🤙🏽
Thank you my dude! Speed is this boards name and she is good at it haha Thanks I saw a white board and instantly thought stormtroopers 🤣 Haha, just having fun with the stick of truth hahaha 50s is a perfect cell for power or range, I find that the cell can do either or, the middle ground is there as well but with this style board I’m FLYING around every where 🤣 Madwheels ftw! Some people just want to see others miserable. Cheers to you brother. Appreciate your comments as well!!! 🍻
I see you in both comments haha, diablo vs x3. hard to compete because they are two different boards completely. so not sure what you want to see, it's like apples vs oranges. let me know what you want to see them vs in I see if I can make it happen
@DrewElia In terms of power speed and range . I know the evolve has a more carvey feel due to its trucks as I have a gtr. I have ordered one with your code
@kernalmusterd again it’s kinda apples to oranges. The x3 is a urethane board geared more for top speed. The motors being 179kv and the 120 esc it just all builds smooth up to top speed. The Diablo is off the line faster, and is geared for low end speed but can hit 30 plus mph. I’ve only tested it on the AT wheels so far but it’s just a carve dream and has stupid power as well
Thanks for checking out the video! If you want to save some money, use code ACEDREW
acedeckboards.com/discount/ACEDREW?redirect=/?aff=8
This is legitimately the first Acedeck board I’m legit stoked on and would consider buying. I just don’t have the need for another board 😅
Or do you!?! 🤣 Thisnone speaks to my inner long board days. Just stable down hill riding, but now I can go up hill at 38 mph 😆
I have the old boosted board stealth that i bought used years ago, and i want one of these new boards but theyre just so expensive. The ares x3 would cost me a little over $2000 after taxes and shipping.
@@KK001 taxes and duties are included in the price

Nice!!! I’m all about customization on boards. They are all dark or lack personality so grip tape is one of the better options in my opinion!
What an amazing board! I was considering this board but I'm going to end up with the Acedeck Nomad N3 belt.
That's a great choice, the N3 is a super solid board. I have the belt drive version and ill be making a video on it ASAP! but first impressions are incredible for the price!
@DrewElia Good to hear! I'll be looking forward to your video. Just subbed! 👍🏻
Let me know if ya need a dartboard for the shop. I'll get one sent your way
@WorldwideDarts oh…… an electric legends dart board would be epic!
Maybe this would be a good board to try the 6mm Yoc Grip with! As for more Wah Pah factor, Acedeck could try to make the trucks compatible with tall (0.75) bushings. This is the most stable road-specific deck I have ever ridden.
Yes i totally agree with you!!!
Really nice review Dew. Such a great board too. Acedeck continues to dominate.
Thank you for the kind words brother! Appreciate you!
wow very nice gear board
Ordered mine! I hope I can ride it soon!
same, just ordered mine too. bummer that it takes a month to deliver

Beats the hell out of the “fast” 2.5A charger that came with my stinger by a shit ton. For me that would be lightning
True 2.5 amp is not fast at all 🤣
These long boards are so expensive, but i really want one at the same time.
get it..... best investment in your mental health just saying...
I really like the trucks - wonder how much maneuverability it trades for stability.
The bushings are holding it back from Waah Paah factor but with the right swap out it’ll be good.
Stock, the board is setup of stability, mainly due to the wide bushing cups. Swap them for flat bushing washers or flip the botto, cup around so that it acts as a flat washer, and you’ll get a much more loose and tighter turning radius. Softer bushings for the rear are also included in the box!
@@acedeckboards Keep up the great work guys!
So for not much more you could have the interstellar.
For ripping around town, to and from work , which would you prefer?
Love your videos.

Thanks Drew
Ohhhhhh! This is a good question!!
Alright so both are stable at high speeds due to the trucks! The nexus trucks are more carve feel due tot he ability to have split angle adjustments! So the WAAH PAAH factor is more on the intersteallar.
Range they both get about the same for me pending how aggressive or chill I ride, the intersteallar maybe a little less due to the higher motor amps I have it set to for MORE POWAHHH 🤣 but both can get into to 30s if I chill ride
The looks they both stand out on their own love the look of both of them!

Honestly you’re going to be happy with either one of these board choices. Intersteallar as 2-1 options and more power than you need 🤣 the acedeck is perfectly light weight and powerful enough for any around town rips. I think it comes down to looks, 2-1 features for anyone looking at the two of them.
That white carbon fiber is , as Scott Davies would say , a very sexy dick!
Man, a couple days ago bought a flex paragon and this has me seriously considering cancelling my order.
Love my paragon as well, I’m doing a follow up video on that soon! This board offers more speed if that’s what you’re into!

One breakdown or wanna add change of pace or bring someone along that doesn’t have a board with them etc. N1 is great, have both 6” Pneumatic and Mad V2’s. On this I’m looking for something that has a lil more deck flex. Rode Diablo Bamboo…love it. Am also interested in Cavalry and LinnPower as they would also add good carved flex and all have reasonable range and off road ability. Even Hussar might be nice as the 2nd board. They all are flexible. Most are 2 in 1. I think you’ve ridden them all and am curious if you had to pick just one, which you’d go for.l? I’m not gonna hold you to the fire, as it’s my decision. Just want to know which one you like riding the most…keeping in mind I already have a great “non flexible” board that I really like for what it is!
@dennisboyle1875 so you chose four of the best flexible decks in the game 😆.
The hussar for me is slightly better than the Calvary due to the shape. It’s a wider platform for bigger feet but also the drop down and curved edges holds my feet very nicely. I wish the hussar had the same battery as the Calvary! They both are super nice as far as carve ride feel but the hussar with the 6” wheels doesn’t get the most out of the battery pack. It’s got the power but at the lower end of the pack you feel the sag and top speed drops which is normal to any battery but I dont know why it felt slightly more on on that one. But that being said when it was on sale for $899 it was a killer deal for a 12/3 amazing carve ride feel 6” CNC wheels and that wave grip tape, it’s a work of art!
The Calvary has an awesome ride feel again that deck is unlike any others depending your option you choose! It’s got a great overall feel and plenty of power and range to put down to the road. Now they offer the CNC trucks which I can only imagine give it even more reliability and WAAH PAAH factor with the right bushing set up. Also both the hussar and Calvary didn’t need any bushing adjustments out of the box for my ride style. They were super fun to carve at low speeds and then I could hammer down on hit 30 mph with no wobbles! Hobbywing 9028 series has been a great esc, breaking could be a little tighter but it’s smooth power delivery.
The Diablo bamboo is THE. WAAH. PAAH. machine. Full stop. So much so that I had to tighten down the bushing and due to the deck push out the wheel base to the secondary holes ( which I love for any company to start doing) plus with the new upgraded ESC they somehow in some way pulled out the most amount of power out of any 12/4 set up I’ve been on. And it still had power at the Low end of the pack. I mean 14% and hitting 25mph plus was great. The Diablo series has power for days, range and looks. I love the bamboo deck and how they have crafted the slight drop down for your foot pocket and overall the smooth power from the Efoc 2.0 it’s a very smooth machine. Price aside customer service being localized to certain countries you can deal with people in the USA and bring it to a service center which is nice.
Linnpower spent a lot of time and effort on RND to get it right out of the gate. That deck is wide and flat, very snowboard like feels. With bindings as an option it gives you even more of a snowboard feel. Super wide trucks and large 8” tires you can really run over anything and you’re good. It’s not the same WAAH PAAH factor as a DKP becuase of the channel trucks, you can swap out the bushings for different set ups but this board is meant for that off road stability and nice long powder like carves. The range is probably the least out of all of the boards because of those larger wheels eating up the battery and me doing a lot of off roading with it, so the 12/4 pro version giving you 1000WH is amazing even with 8” wheels you’re going to have range for days! I love the look and feel of this board because it reminds me so much of snowboarding. Plus it has a lot of customization in mind with DIY quality.
I don’t know if that helps you narrow it down to any specific one because you’ve chosen some really good boards! If you are looking for a less stiff deck some great carves and plenty of range and power I’d look at the Calvary, bamboo diablo, and Linnpower. Calvary and diablo being amazing carve and snappy response. The Linnpower for something completely different but has the flex and bounce also another gear drive, I’d would say go with the pro for most range possible!
@@DrewElia Hey…thanks for the detailed response. Decisions…decisions…decisions! 🤔 Why can’t I just buy them all? 🤷♂️🤣
@dennisboyle1875 there you go! Haha whenever someone asks me what board I would ride forever i literally can’t choose. I need a top 5 at a minimum for different purposes! I’m not telling people to drop $6k on boards but build it up over time. Short board, long board, 2-1, mountain board, and a long distance or race board if you’re into that. That would be a seriously great line up to rotate through
It took so long trying to put this board together, it’s my first electric and came with no assembly manual, and there’s 0 guides online to help 😔
Well I’m glad you got it together! Next time reach out!!!!
For the price it's decent. I have hit too many pot hole I couldn't see on group rides to ever ride Street Wheels on an E-Sk8. with 38mph and 30 miles of range on street wheels they must be using a small battery or just using all it's power in torque.
NVM, battery isn't what people would consider small.. Must be something about the madwheels that eats up range.
120amp esc and 170kv motors. You’re going to just want to floor it everywhere 😆 777wh of capacity I found myself really in S+ mode just ripping it every where which definitely cuts through battery life.
I wonder how this would perform with madwheels future 125mm's
I’ll let you know!
Wonder why they got rid of the 4WD direct drive :(
I purchased the X3 at launch last y ear and its been beautiful. (aside from the deck failing after 6 weeks but they shipped me a new one!)
A few reasons, actually! Which are the cost of parts, the increased failure rate since you had two escs, and two more motors, but mainly, because even in 4WD we were not happy with the performance of the board, especially in braking and acceleration. With our new tiny gear drives, we were able to make the board lighter, faster, more reliable, and also, cheaper by 300$ on launch!
This was exactly what I've been asking ACEDECK for, bravo to that, but have they fix the e sc issues? IDk. I hope so.
What ESC issues?
I had my X3 for 1 days and the ESC failed, that was in May. I finally received the replacement yesterday, only to learn I have to now destroy the grip tape to access the bolts to replace the ESC wtf !!!
Hey! Our old ESC issues that meant the remote would not be able to pair again the ESC after the burned had been turned off, has indeed been taken care off. We also radically improved the trottle curves, tightened the deadzone, and made the acceleration much smoother.
Hey @@projectmayhem2330, well, our repair center did have to access these bolts to repair your board, but a new griptape should have been installed. You‘re welcome to reach out to customer service and explain your situation, and we will send you a fresh new griptape.
@@acedeckboards I literally sitting here now putting a replacement ESC that died after 2 rides, into the board. I’ve had to remove/ruin the grip tape just to get to the ESC, to find the ESC had that much glue/silicone in the housing that it’s almost impossible to get out without a jack hammer. You guys really need to think of the customer if:when they have to replace something. Have you fixed this huge flaw in this board ?
@@projectmayhem2330 Some old generation Ares boards indeed had more glue than others holding the ESC in place. And yes; now it’s much easier to take off if need be. Where did you purchase your X3? you’re talking about the old generation one, correct?
If I am after pure acceleration, is this the best in the price range or can I do better?
this has amazing top end speed and decent off the line acceleration. it depends on what you mean by acceleration, do you want off the line torque or something that pulls all the way to 30mph and above? The Nomad series has insane off the line torque this X3 is just so stable and rips all the way up to top speed. but it builds smoothly through the mid range.
@@DrewElia Off the line torque, think I should be looking at the Nomad.
@T.R.A.N.C.E than yes nomad has more off the line
I'm pretty sure you're in a shared bike lane so you really don't have to legally get off the road for the cars behind you to pass. Sick board though!
Right! And here is a rental scooter program, it’s called share the road 🤣
its about being courteous though right? cars are allowed drive faster, and you're riding much slower and you have the capability to keep riding while letting them pass, so let them pass then go back in the road...its almost like when ppl pull into th overtaking lane when the car behind was clearly driving much faster.
@@ccudjoe89 Yeah, to a certain extent but if it's a long road and cars keep coming up, it doesn't make sense to keep pulling over every few seconds. If anything just get to the side of the road and hopefully the car can pass. Still, people that just yell things out like that guy in the video are annoying because it doesn't even affect him and it's a shared bike lane so yelling that out just makes him sound like an ass.
@@BN99239 looked like an officer...they coulda got on them for filming in traffic without a permit, but instead they just asked him to let ppl pass. i think that's fair. also why they probably just obliged
Are you gonna review the Voyager XL?
I have it in my line up!
The one thing I don’t like about my long board the (1x max riot board) is that I don’t like how you can’t turn right corners like a skateboard with a tail
Yeah bushing selection would help with that as well, getting better shaped or duro bushings will give you more leaning ability with out sacrificing stability
Nice gt
Are those the same motors from the Zeus pro? Mine are the 6374 and have 3350 watts each. Feels torqy af and I can hit 41mph on flat ground.
No they are bigger more powerful 6375 3500w 170kv peak power motors, not sure why your gearing is but not the same motors.
@@DrewEliaI don’t know how I missed you saying that, I just rewatched and heard you say it haha. Thank you brother! And my gearing is 4.3 on new Omni esk8 AT gear drive
What an absolute track weapon, good lord.
9;25 Welcome to Canada! 😂
Yes she’s fast
4:47 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
😆
Oh my freaking God, yeah I would turn myself into a pavement stain, I'm too old now for that speed. It's Meepo for me lmfao
What Meepos are quick I have one and an acedeck
Meepo can be just as fast, I’ve hit 35mph on my hurricane as well! This board though is something different 😆
@@DrewElia 35?? that's so fast, I am over 50 (years old) so that means broken everything if I wreck. Hey I gotta question: So I have the short Meepo board, the ER2, could I buy a long board and just take the parts off the Meepo and put them on a new board?
@Dubsteppah yes you can that’s called a deck swap!
@@DrewElia *excited face* well I am going to do that asap!!! Thank you so much!!!
*Epic timelapse at the start, wish it was a touch bit longer*
🤙🏽⚡️🤟🏽⚡️🤙🏽
Nothin beats "thane" 🤩 that speed is Mental though 😱🔥
AceDeck keeps hittin it outta the park 👌🏽
Split angles again 🤩
hellova custom grip tape!
Stick of truth was about as jealous of the light saber as Thor's StormBreaker axe was against his hammer Mjolnir in Thor 4 😂
50S seems the newest darlin, with more capacity than Moli's at the same physical size 👌🏽
"Ace" choice to include Mad V2 as stock 👌🏽
was that a Karen complainin at 9mins 25sec lol? 😂
Space-age lookin eBoard.
Banger edit as always 🤙🏽🤙🏽
Thank you my dude!
Speed is this boards name and she is good at it haha
Thanks I saw a white board and instantly thought stormtroopers 🤣
Haha, just having fun with the stick of truth hahaha
50s is a perfect cell for power or range, I find that the cell can do either or, the middle ground is there as well but with this style board I’m FLYING around every where 🤣
Madwheels ftw!
Some people just want to see others miserable.
Cheers to you brother. Appreciate your comments as well!!! 🍻
1st 16s ago
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!! Enjoy the video
Vs evolve diablo
I see you in both comments haha, diablo vs x3. hard to compete because they are two different boards completely. so not sure what you want to see, it's like apples vs oranges. let me know what you want to see them vs in I see if I can make it happen
@DrewElia
In terms of power speed and range . I know the evolve has a more carvey feel due to its trucks as I have a gtr. I have ordered one with your code
@kernalmusterd again it’s kinda apples to oranges. The x3 is a urethane board geared more for top speed. The motors being 179kv and the 120 esc it just all builds smooth up to top speed.
The Diablo is off the line faster, and is geared for low end speed but can hit 30 plus mph. I’ve only tested it on the AT wheels so far but it’s just a carve dream and has stupid power as well
