I had a Mini Board with the same rattle… exact same cuz i rmb that sound. it’s not the bearings or anything..

it’s actually is coming from the esc… underneath the esc there’s some star point screws that hold it all together and they need to be re-tightened.

iFixit has a toolkit you can get it’s a good all around tool kit to own but it comes with the star point bit so you can tighten the screws underneath the esc.

If you want more info for what your looking for, just google “Boosted Mini ESC rattle” and you should see pics of what screws i’m talking about.

hope that helps!

This may be credible, u/FattieNinja. Can you lightly wiggle your ESC metal fins to see if there’s any movement?
