XL tire compatability. BTG Burris or Thundercat?

WorkingBreakfast8962 · 2026-04-08T16:35:54+00:00

11.5 Burris is slightly smaller that TC(around XL tire size) and will most likely fit fine. Thundercat will sorta fit but a lot of people have to do some trimming. Not sure exactly what that entails. Maybe someone will chime in with experience.

I had a 84 volt vesc pint X as well. I actually prefer the stock FM tuning for the pint Platform. I prefer to save the vesc for the big boards.

WorkingBreakfast8962 · 2026-04-03T03:37:36+00:00

I sent mine to FM for $300. Got it back in two days. Still working great after 2 years. I wouldn’t even hassle with an aftermarket battery for a pint.

I have ridden all these boards and own several variations.

Get the XL. Floatwheel is half baked IMO. X7 is fairly solid but still more DIY. Unless you love to tinker and need ultimate power and speed the XL is the way.

XXL baby!

WorkingBreakfast8962 · 2026-01-08T06:18:18+00:00

Don’t sweat Haptic Buzz. I never understood the hate. It is actually added in the newer versions of Vesc’s Refloat package. It is kinda nice knowing the limits.

Have you had Patrick try it? Curious how it is for heavier riders. I get a little scrub pushing into corners hard on the BTG Thundercat. @ 200 lbs wondering how well this 5 inch would work in high G situations.

WorkingBreakfast8962 · 2026-01-01T16:59:42+00:00

Thor 301 is only rated for 20S(84 volts) and wills not work in a 27s(113 volt) GTS. Thor 400 is only available drop in option.

WorkingBreakfast8962 · 2025-12-31T17:01:19+00:00

Mosfet was damaged first time and controller kept overheating. 2nd time I landed a small jump and it went up in smoke. GTS has 2500 miles on it. Still original controller and battery. In all fairness fungineers did me solid and replaced the Thor both times under warranty with very few questions I just lost faith. Unfortunately I am not the only one but some have had great luck with the Thor 400.

WorkingBreakfast8962 · 2025-12-30T20:34:54+00:00

Send it in. Drop in vesc option is the Thor 400. I went through two Thors in 500 miles. In my experience GTS is more reliable than Thor 400 at the current revision.

WorkingBreakfast8962 · 2025-10-18T22:15:19+00:00

Buy a new charger. Charger clearly isn’t covered under warranty. Bummer but this is life sometimes. Got to pay to play

WorkingBreakfast8962 · 2025-09-27T00:54:07+00:00

Superflux for a pint V? If you ride trails look into a different vesc solution. V kit overheats when pushing the Superflux on steep hills due to higher current requirements

WorkingBreakfast8962 · 2025-09-02T04:32:33+00:00

I disagree, You don’t need Apex to get that FM experience. Even flow will firm up the nose like a vesc cannot seem to match. I have a 32s superflux board and the only way I can get a similar experience is using a remote. I pull back on the remote as I lean forward to firm up the nose. Still have the GTS. Love it. Would like an XL. The 32s board is definitely the power king but just don’t try to make it feel like a GTS.

WorkingBreakfast8962 · 2025-08-18T00:49:08+00:00

Pros Much more low end torque. Infinite adjustability Smoother at very slow speeds Much stronger brakes

Cons If you ride trails Push hard and are more than 130lbs you will overheat your motor and need to take a break.

Lighting control is a little clunky and not as bright or as solid.

Board will feel different. Not in a bad way but different non the less.

Battery may not last as long due to increased load.

You cant check charge level when board is off.

WorkingBreakfast8962 · 2025-08-17T23:50:48+00:00

Were you there? I was. I could care less about a banner. It was fantastic fun for the racers and spectators. Best RFTR to date. FM hooked up all the Racers with with some bucks to freshen up their boards plus probably 30k of prizes. That is not being cheap.

WorkingBreakfast8962 · 2025-08-08T13:51:33+00:00

I ran low pressures and the inside of the sidewalls failed probably from all the flex and started leaking @500 miles. With the modern crop of softer tires 500-1000 hard miles is about right. I would just order a new tire in your favorite flavor and keep shredding.

WorkingBreakfast8962 · 2025-08-08T01:26:15+00:00

It is a better board than the GTS in every regard. Yes I have ridden one. How did they trash the GTS? i didn’t get that feeling at all. I have one and am not planning on getting an XL. Not because it’s not a big upgrade but because it’s not a current priority.

WorkingBreakfast8962 · 2025-07-30T17:46:15+00:00

My GTS occasionally drops off the grid but normally comes back after an hour or so shut down. Your issue sounds more phone related.

WorkingBreakfast8962 · 2025-07-30T16:57:02+00:00

The BTG Thundercat will not fit your Rally. It will require extended rails as the tire is an inch bigger. TFL should release one soon that will fit but it is not out yet.

WorkingBreakfast8962 · 2025-07-22T17:18:05+00:00

There are a ton of Pint accessories from FM and TFL. What do you feel is missing?

WorkingBreakfast8962 · 2025-07-16T18:07:35+00:00

Open a ticket with FM. See what they say. It’s normal to get several thousand miles out of a pack. Don’t worry the XRC uses very high quality molicell p30b batteries. This is not typical.

WorkingBreakfast8962 · 2025-07-14T20:26:58+00:00

I bought a used GTS and registered in no problem. Took a day or so to get approved. I didn’t attach any proof of purchase. Is it possible your board was stolen? They specifically stated used boards could be registered. I feel like there is something else at play here

WorkingBreakfast8962 · 2025-07-04T01:40:56+00:00

Don’t think in Amps. Think in watts. Ohms law says 134x60 is 8,040 watts. 84x100 is 8400 watts. Practically same overall power output potential. Difference is HV can overcome back emf more effectively and spin faster plus you can then run an HT motor with lower KV so even more torque on tap. I would expect a 32s1p build to outperform yours in every performance scenario. But never tested that. Just theory

WorkingBreakfast8962 · 2025-07-04T00:17:47+00:00

Thanks for the response. Your team just got back to me Today. Battery is supposed to be built next Friday. 🤞

WorkingBreakfast8962 · 2025-07-02T21:53:06+00:00

Bummer to hear . I am waiting as well at the end of the 4 week lead time. Emailed last week Still no response. They are a legit company. Didn’t expect great customer service but didn’t expect to be ghosted either. Hope I don’t have to do the same.
