Ownboard Zeus ESC and Remote

It's nice they aren't overcharging like evolve for their remotes having both I can say this one is way better than their standard R2 remote. It also has a very soft less cheap feeling silicone than the evolve covers.

Being part of the first batch of O.G Zeus owners, I was skeptical about the hype around the upgraded ESC, but after installing there is a night and day difference in braking power on the board which makes it feel a ton safer.
I also ordered an extra remote on the off chance something happens to my original since shipping takes some time to het to the U.S, but it definitely give me peace of mind.
Every interaction with the support team at OwnBoard has been helpful and quick with instructions on installing the new ESC, which is actually really simple!

Though ESC shipping was delayed several weeks due to covid lockdowns in China, it arrived promptly 2 weeks after it was sent.

I bought the 9028 (v2) ESC to mod my original Zeus. The gains in acceleration are pretty substantial. I typically ride in mode 3 or turbo, and the thrust of the new ESC requires another level of thumb control and balance to avoid getting thrown. Pretty wicked.

However, the brakes still leave me wanting. They're improved, but still not as refined as the competition in this class. Hopefully I Ownboard will make the braking & acceleration curves independently adjustable to suit different riding preferences at some point. The Meepo hurricane and Tynee explorer are already doing this, so Ownboard will have to catch up to stay competitive.

New esc for my zeus is fantastic. Everything feels better and connects better. Def worth a buy if you had an original zeus.
