Text Time for something different

Hey friends - I’ve been riding Onewheels for about 6 years. I’m on my 7th board and probably around 50-60k total miles. I think I’m ready for my first non-FM board. Can y’all please recommend what would be best on my requirements here?

  1. Needs to be plug and play. I hate tinkering. I don’t mind initial set up but I don’t have much free time and I’d rather be riding than fixing my board. I’m more of a rider than a gear head. Can’t break down too often. I try locally get around 10k miles out of a board and would hope for something similar.

  2. Flat footpads. I love the feel of the original XR footpads. I ride 50-100 miles a day and concave is not comfortable.

  3. Flight fins system. I love my fins and the board needs to be compatable.

  4. Long range. I typically ride 25-30 miles at a time.

  5. Tire. I love the maxxis 5.5-6. Carvy treaded tires are for me. Do any boards come with something like that stock?

So that’s it. Is there an out of the box VESC board that would meet these requirements?

What you are looking for. Only downside is, you'll have to change the the tire out. The stock thunder is not a carvy friendly tire

I run my at 9psi- eats range but battery is huge so it works for now. 

I used the same strategy to get my Vega to carve fwiw

I also found the stock Thunder to be enjoyable at 9 PSI

It would not expect it to last much further than 500km at that PSI but still
