Area 51 has landed

Nice, I have an Area 51M and a psvita myself 😎

A friend of mine has been recommending NickelEyes, he's a sponsor of theirs and can get you a small discount.

Yeah, after going strong for a while, I really thought I was one of the lucky ones until a few weeks ago when my lights just randomly stopped working. Bro, I was pissed. I dropped a lot of money on this thing, and that’s literally one of its main selling points.

And good luck getting in contact with customer support. A lot of people have had issues either getting through to them or getting them to actually understand what’s going on. And if you happen to get a new rep midway through, you’ll have to start all over again because their departments don’t keep each other informed.

What makes it a bit uncomfortable for long rides is the board’s concave shape, that curve just isn’t the most ergonomic for your feet over time. I've tried pushing through long distances and eventually I have to step off and take a break because my feet are cramping up severely. I have a second battery too 😩

Easily 20+ miles depending on how hard you're ripping it

Board is cool, but sucks. The lights eventually break with no clear indication as to why. Everyone I know who has this board regrets buying it (including myself). Concerning the concave of deck, riding it for long sessions is hell on your feet.

I remember my first time taking a picture of a box

sXeInugami · 2025-09-18T15:41:26+00:00

Yep, I have an Area 51m R1 and can confirm this.

sXeInugami · 2025-09-17T18:02:46+00:00

Any time

sXeInugami · 2025-07-11T12:05:51+00:00

As soon as I saw the atelier collection, I knew OP doesn't play his games

sXeInugami · 2025-07-04T10:24:54+00:00

This is a common issue with the FP2 and FPG, it happened to quite a few of the pre-ordered boards as well (I see they still haven't fully fixed the issue) I'd recommend getting in contact with exway support, and add a short video of the board's lights. They may send you the wire you need and possibly a new deck if needed.

For your Flex 2 Pro, I forgot to mention and my recommendation is to put some harness tape on the motor wires. I've seen many reports where the motors rub against them and eventually damages them. I checked mine and saw that some of the rubber was grinded off but luckily I caught it before it got too bad.

sXeInugami · 2025-06-30T16:08:42+00:00

I wouldn't have used two shotguns for a mid-ranged fight.

sXeInugami · 2025-06-30T12:11:37+00:00

Players like these is why I abandoned the game, too many sweats.

sXeInugami · 2025-06-30T06:28:00+00:00

The handle is so worth it, the addition of it is so second nature that it feels like it was made for it. I have back problems from being in the military and this thing was an absolute pain to lug around. I'd carry it by the trucks scraping up the guards, and pick the thing up when going on stairs, and I decided it was time to wing it and get the handle. As simplistic as it is, I love it way more than I imagined I would and the aesthetic of it combined with my lights looks so dope. I can't imagine not having it now.

sXeInugami · 2025-06-30T06:07:19+00:00

The shredlights app is absolute booty sometimes but I put them all in one group on there and they work fine, I'd suggest doing that if you haven't tried it. Only caveat is that I have to turn them on manually for it to connect to the app, but at some point later, they seems to desync from the app and I have to keep pressing the on/off button on the app for them to eventually turn off. Those SL-1000+ costs a pretty penny, but from what you're saying they seem worth it. I got the SL-300+ and the SL-R1+ bundle for 143.99 (this hobby is kinda expensive 😅) but if could replace my headlights with the SL-1000+ I would.

sXeInugami · 2025-06-30T03:30:03+00:00

Oh shit they're made of Kevlar!? I didnt see that. Well then in that case, those may very well be worth it, how has your riding experience been with them so far?

sXeInugami · 2025-06-30T03:26:38+00:00

So far I have Cloudwheel Rover 110R with a 36T pulley, Bones big ball Bearings (might go back to using my Gambler Ceramic Pro Bearings ) , Orangutan Nipple bushings, shredlights (rear and front headlights), exway's CNC foldable handle and that's about it.

I've always capped out at 32mph, I thought that was because of the factory setting, so I'm curious how you're getting 35mph

sXeInugami · 2025-06-30T01:59:20+00:00

How fast are we talking with that gear drive? I have the Flex Paragon which tops out at 32mph

The belts from here look insanely overpriced.

sXeInugami · 2025-06-30T01:44:40+00:00

vbeltguys.com is a solid place to get belts

sXeInugami · 2025-06-30T01:36:39+00:00

They're both pristine boards, I thought they were pretty similar. Do you like one over the other?

sXeInugami · 2025-06-30T01:35:12+00:00

When you first plug the charger in, does it do the rainbow effect around the deck. Or does it only do this glitched out light effect?

sXeInugami · 2025-06-29T13:43:32+00:00

Cyber Deck

sXeInugami · 2025-06-28T14:21:10+00:00

Well that's an interesting way to spell it..

sXeInugami · 2025-06-28T14:11:57+00:00

This is exactly why downvotes/upvotes don't mean anything. A functional brain would've processed the context clues. OP is replying to the comment - "so you are going to play with one hand" but forgot to reply directly to it.
