Except that if he wants to actually ride the board this year, the unity isn’t really an option unless he wants to pay double the price for a resold one.
I’m in the same position as him, and I want to be able to ride this summer, so no unity for me. The updated flipsky dual 4.2 is probably where I’m going.
Edit: I should add to the guy that he should NOT buy a second hand flipsky 4.2, because they have dodgy caps from my understanding. Only the recent (like last couple weeks) updated 4.2s on the Flipsky site are the ones where they supposedly fixed the issue with uprated components. Not sure if this has been tested by people yet but Flipsky seems to have a semi-decent reputation on here so I would expect it to be ok.
Do you have a link for the build thread for these ‘nifty things’? Someone else seemed to know about it as well, but I searched for ‘mini remote wheel mods’ and nothing came to eye
Flipsky make 2 versions of the 6.6. Both require a bit of manual labour to get going.
Soldering etc. Check the website so you know what you’re getting yourself into.
Luckily I’m happy with Sony and spider man homecoming, I expect far from home to be pretty good. And hopefully whenever karnage comes out they really go nuts. It’s really a shame seeing amazing IPs fail to live up their potential
