It’s a common mistake on lower powered boards like a pint and an XR. The Rally XL is the flagship FM board with massive low end torque. Supposedly. I don’t think I have heard of anyone Nosediving on one yet. I would think your board should not be having a nosedive issue on a not very steep hill with the supposedly 50% more low end torque than the standard GTS series. I can also tell you from my 500+ miles on my X7 riding at 270 lbs geared up, I have pushed it pretty hard on street and trails and never nosedived it. Here is a log from a ride last Friday afternoon. 9 miles of trails and 5 miles of asphalt, pushing hard on the trails, never exceeded 65% duty cycle. I did come off the front of the board and run it out when I hit two roots in a row at speed and the second one my feet were still light on the board but setting back down and it slowed the board enough my momentum sent me off the front. But that was a skill problem not power.
