I get that you don’t like the deck but don’t come on here and talk like that. That’s not what this forum is intended for. If u want a carbon fibre deck go buy one and stop bashing OBC. You say u speak your mind, but u need to keep your negative opinions to yourself in this case.

I was shooting for the moon with that idea…but dreaming doesn’t hurt.
I’ll be paying attention to his builds for sure, just to learn and get ideas for a board, if I find the time to machine a deck myself. I considered pre-ordering one, but I prefer hub motors and a shorter deck length.
Thanks for replying!
I was just thinking about this, I think we should probably add a honking system in there too for good measurement. Maybe a siren or something to that effect, that way, people can get out of my way as I roll down the block 
Edit: I’m kidding dude, I’ve given you enough work as it is, I also do not want to end up getting tickets for causing disturbance in the neighborhood 
Less than 2 months till I have this board! Chaka said expect build photos soon. It is still looking like the best non-custom complete board in the market to me. I’m so glad he went with a GT2B remote, I really don’t care about looks of the remote…I just want reliability over anything else.
Has anyone else on this forum besides me and @guyguy pre-ordered this??
Really considering it. Was going to go with a Carbon GT but too many issues. This looks like a great board and a 2-year warranty is pretty cool.
What does the GT2B remote look like?
To my knowledge it’s going to be a modified GT2B and will look like this:
Check reddit and here, carbon GT is a great board but it seems to have having a lot of issues and there remote is really fiddly. I would still pick the GT if I wanted an AT board. But since I don’t need that, it’s quite obvious that ollin is the way to go.
It would destroy the GT on performance and range. I prefer the looks, and the remote, so no brainer for me.

Still waiting patiently… delay in steel motor pulley. Thus far it’s been a week about since original promised delivery date. I hope the delays stay to weeks, I can handle those. But when it turns into months…that’s NOT cool. Hoping for a delivery in early December.

Just ordered one! Specs and design look fucking awesome. No idea when I’ll get it (website said mid December but not sure if that’s been recently updated)
How did you guys get your trucks set up? Is there a standard number? I want stability at high speed and was thinking of requesting 45 degree base

Nice man.
Not even sure what they come with. I do know the baseplates are relatively inexpensive for the liquid trucks (15-25$).
Hey Fred. I have not gotten my board yet so I would assume yours will be after december since mine was supposed to be mid november.
Regarding the truck set up, usually 50 degrees is standard on normal skateboards. Generally this means more turning and less stability at higher speeds than say a 45 degree angle. For downhill they prefer having lower baseplate angles for more stability. However I believe for e-boards you might usually need a higher degree to give room for components like motor mounts, although since ollin’s deck has integrated components that may not matter much. You also have to keep wheel bite into baseplate angle consideration, but if there are cut outs on the deck then this isn’t much of an issue.
I would not worry about baseplate angle that much, did he ask you for it? If not leave it at whatever is standard that he ships it with. To adjust stability for high speeds you can adjust the king pin on your trucks also. The tighter the trucks the more stable (but less maneuverability). But I also think tightening the trucks too much is dangerous.
My best advice would be to tighten them slightly, but keep the trucks loose enough where you are able to make all the turns you need to. Go only as fast as you feel stable at, keep that as your stop speed. As you become more comfortable/develop balance you will be able to go at faster speeds without your trucks being tight.
This board will be a beast! 28mph is very fast on a board, but remember you are in full control of how fast you go. Pad/helmet up, and hope you are able to enjoy safely.
Awesome info, thanks dude! Yes I will be armored to the balls for sure. TSG pass, armored hoody, motorcycle pants, gshok knee protectors, slide gloves under wrist guards. Added up it sure do cost a lot but I’m not going to fuck around at 28mph!!! I can barely run out a metroboard crash right now at 20. Assume at 28mph you just fly off into the ditch haha
Are they really giving free rides?
Yep, get your “freeride” for $1900… before prices go up.
What do you mean by free ride?
The name of the board

Free rides means you don’t have to give money. (Just joking) 
His instagram shows a picture of an almost completed board and says the hatch is the final step before shipping it out. it looks really great and I can not wait to get one (but, I have to wait of course, but still you know what I mean)
check out the top hatch operation!!
The power button is under there?
