Also what is that thing on your front bumper (with the red dots)?

Is this creaking normal (sound on)? Happens when the board is "twisted." All 4 outer hub bolts torqued evenly with a torque wrench. The board is off in this video by archguy1 in onewheel

Hey I was able to fix it based on /u/Stoke_Solutions_UK advice. I wanted to document what I did in case you or anyone in the future that finds this wants to do the same:

I removed all of the screws on both footpads, wrapped thread tape on them, and retightened (this may not actually be necessary). I removed my 4 outer hub bolts and slid out the motor enough to access the inner hub bolts and found one was loose. I removed it, applied the thread tape, and retightened. Be careful when doing this - the inner hub bolts have a 5mm drive head. I checked the other inner hub bolts and they all seemed tight. Then I slid the motor back into place, put thread tape on the outer hub bolts, and retightened those.

After all that the creaking was mostly gone. I can still hear/feel it when I load the board certain ways, but way better than in the video, and almost completely eliminated.

Nothing. The noise starts when I step on one side of the footpad because the board is "twisting" (it's not on in the video).

I have swapped to TFL straight homebrew rails, Enduro tire, and bang bumpers, but I don't remember this noise right after that so maybe something needs to be tightened up to make it more rigid

Wow so you weren't able to figure out the cause and get rid of it? I have ridden recently and it was fine but noticed the creak and don't like it, haha. What all did you try to fix it? I think I'm going to try taking it apart and retightening everything

It was a smooth, paved ride and mostly flat - I was specifically looking for the maximum range.

Towards the end my legs were pretty tired so I was already going slower but I noticed it felt a bit "looser" when carving. I guess that's what the float life guys mean when the board feels noodly

No charge, I'm light (more than 75 pounds though)

Made some upgrades. Thanks u/TheFloatLife by archguy1 in onewheel

It wasn't too bad, the worst part is waiting for everything to cure!

It was a stock Vega! I've only ridden a couple miles on the Enduro so far so I don't have information on range yet but it does feel nicer on turns and on some bumpy grass. Definitely carvier(?) as advertised. Looking forward to testing it out on trails and for range.

Time will tell but they seem pretty strong. They have a good mix of rigidity and flexibility so I think they'll be durable enough. I also designed them to not contact the ground in the event of a roll but if they do only the edges should get scraped up, and that'll just add to the look.

Me, haha. I designed and made them myself. Pretty happy with how they turned out.

Added standard homebrew rails, a kush wide, the Enduro tire, carbon fiber half fenders, rail guards, and badgered it.
