It has a long wheelbase, wide tracks, and 100 mm wheels, all of which help to make this board very stable at high speeds. It’s got a surprisingly good range. While it can’t quite match the top-of-the-line model’s performance, it still managed to record a respectable 12.9-mile range.
Its battery lasts quite a while fully charged, and it has good remote control with an ergonomic grip and lanyard to keep the remote handy. It is in the mid-price range of the boards in this group and, as such, isn’t as smooth as some of the other boards.
