Well today I took it for a test ride. All I can say is what a difference from my SN! lol.
I ended up going with a tight pole setup and I don't regret it. Its awesome.
The -4 cut makes it steer way quicker. So glad I took the 4 off. I don't have much time on it yet but the little I did today was awesome! Im going to florida next week to ride surf so ill be able to report back better then on my impression of the HPE 4 mil motor and -4 cut.
But... from the little riding I did today... this motor is a monster. It has so much power and its not even tuned nor have I gone full throttle yet. Very impressed with this setup.
*and yes I still need to paint the hood lol.
