Might explain why my v5f doesn’t like charging over 80v now… bought a new charger and yet it’s still charging full to roughly 80%. Got it at a steal but can’t complain now

Curious to ask, so do you think a h666 may actually fit with a similar level of effort? I have yet to attempt it on my own Shermax - 750 miles on the knobby at this point. I have 3x currently in storage after abruptly selling my mspc30, so I’m hopefully saving money over the moto option at this point.

Yes, I saw a video of the error; there's apparently two people (or more now?) So we all know at this point that there are 'bms protector' 3d pieces for the original sherman. I don't believe they've been specifically modified for the shermax's litech setup - there is supposed protrusion in comparison to the begode batteries which might cause wear. If this is contributing to the bms problem that was previously seen from the og sherman panels rubbing, we'll find out soon enough.

Thanks so much for the quick feedback guys, I’ll take all your advice into consideration. Currently on 35psi, and it feels pretty nimble enough. You can definitely feel the torque, and it’s enough to catch you off guard especially when I have to make sharper turns. However, I’m still getting used to the differences of the knobby texture in general(coming from the stock msp tire). I’m gradually getting used to it, but I just need to get more riding time in this upcoming week. So far overall, I’m definitely loving the Sherman Max; just feeling a bit more timid than hoped to be. Time/experience should go a long way.

Hey guys, So I recently got my new Sherman Max.. I’m roughly 195lbs, 5’10”… I know they’ve previously discussed running 32psi at the most on the OG Sherman /w stock knobby k262, but that was based on the v2 rim easily shattering from light impact. Since this new v3 rim seems much more resilient, are people inclined to run higher pressure now? I feel pretty comfortable in the 35-38psi range even back on an msp. Just curious to ask what others think at this point. Post your height and weight too so we can get specific comparisons.

I’ve reached out to FB to clarify the whole situation with the 60mm v2/v3 rims. Apparently Flyboy was able to get the h666 on his v2 rim, he just didn’t update the post. Hopefully this is a reliable resource. I have a Sherman Max coming and I’d be definitely bummed if I couldn’t get my h666 on it this upcoming summer.

So eWheels has the H-666 18x3.0 back in stock… has anyone tried it? I figured it’s pretty soft in comparison to the stock knobby, and the whole rim situation isn’t helping. Kinda hesitant with the whole moto feedback and the rim cracking, but maybe there’s a brave soul who gave it a shot.

To be fair, the first Veteran Sherman had falsified wh, so this isn’t technically any different. I guess whatever looks good on paper is okay in the world of “Chinese”-ium marketing.

I’d like to get confirmation on the rim as well. Most of the discussions on the rims are just straight up negative but changing the tires and psi seem to have an impact as well. Moto tire sidewall integrity can either bend or snap the rim like a potato chip on impact. Stock tire might be optimal at this point, but I’d like to see if there’s any differences alongside the supposed axle improvements.

This is an excellent technique, thanks for sharing this. I’ll keep it in mind when I switch in my tire the next chance I get. Seems systematic enough and will definitely help with positioning vs doing it on its side

I'm interested to ask how far you got with the Duro at this point and if you still enjoy it. Does it fit on the 'roomier' wheels with more clearance space like the Sherman or EXN? I still have the Duro in my storage, and was thinking to pop it on my incoming Sherman Max whenever it arrives in Feb-Mar 2022.

When I last spoke to Jason over email, he had intentions of updating the Sherman page with the information. Looks like it's really $3799 now for the Sherman Max (I honestly thought it would be equivalent or close to that of the Commander - for lack of better words, the 'bargain' really sticks out at this point. On top of that, it puts the Abrams in a weird spot now - does community still want it for offroading or distance-cruising in comfort? I wouldn't be surprised if anyone who considered an Abrams would just shift back to a Sherman Max since they're getting all the torque and range they could ever want in such a burly wheel.

So I'm in an interesting situation. I just got the HF307 in the mail (I think the website screwed up since I canceled the order since it was on backorder, yet they still sent me it when it became available)... How is the HF307 on the msx/msp so far? the DURO website/google reported the tire at 10-14lbs. Is that true? 4500-6000g? I'm surprised there was no gyro effect when you were riding it.

Who did you order from? Ewheels? They were very clear when I was reaching out to them via email. I know it's been over 2 weeks at this point, but have you received any updates? Or possibly, even your shipment coming in?

Just an FYI to anyone who tried ordering from Midwesttraction and cedarrapidstire, these websites are exactly the same distributor (and I found out at the point of the Paypal confirmation). I don't know if they're straight-up scammers, but a support member contacted me for both transactions the following business day and said they would not have the tire until April 2021 onward. At this point, they should make an effort to take down the item(s) from their website, but they didn't. They immediately reverted both transactions once I told them I wanted my money back, so I really didn't have a problem other than it being disappointing. It's still bait at this point for any potential customers. It's funny because I got that ebay tire and immediately caught word of SpeedyFeet having the k262 available. I returned the ebay tire right away, and I was lucky to grab an actual k262 but paid $70 total as there was no other choice besides the 2-day international shipping. If he ever posts an update on stock, I'll be sure to update you guys.
