Popular Post mrelwood Posted August 13, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted August 13, 2019 (edited) Whatever anyone does to their Nikola, it will never be anywhere near even the same universe of coolness than this: Not mine, and unfortunately I don’t remember who did it. I think he wrote that he got the sticker from Taobao (Chinese version of Ebay). Edited August 13, 2019 by mrelwood 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chobot Posted November 27, 2019 Share Posted November 27, 2019 I'm a beginner at vinyl wrapping but it does the trick to protect the plastic sides but not bad. @Jimmy Chang I remember commenting on one of your videos about the motor pads and the vinyl wrap figured I'd tag you here so you can see it! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foxtrotgolf Posted November 28, 2019 Share Posted November 28, 2019 I was going to slime my Nikola+ tire, but was concerned about oscillations and off - balance issues. Has anyone experienced adverse effects from sliming their tire? Thx! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have cut open a slimed tube before and it just evenly coats the entire surface it's thick and sticky.. not like a bucket of water randomly sloshing around in there or something haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has anyone experienced adverse effects from sliming their tire? Thx! Apologies, I forgot to mention, I slimed the tube in that Nikola first thing out of the box. If you haven't noticed anything yet, there's your answer I never notice any weirdness in slimed vs unslimed wheels. Things like the OneWheel come pre-slimed, I consider it just another layer of protection against flats. It's saved my ACM2 inner tube multiple times! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foxtrotgolf Posted November 28, 2019 Share Posted November 28, 2019 Hey Nick - that’s right. You told me, but I forgot. Really enjoying my Nikola+! If you have any other models for sale, let me know. I’d be happy to buy from you again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm glad you're enjoying it If Gotway ever comes out with the rumored Tesla successor, I may sell my ACM2 and pick one of those up. I'm having a hard time justifying selling it though, because it's such a good wheel! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has anyone experienced adverse effects from sliming their tire? Thx! I have the impression that my performance has deteriorated because after SLIME I have to calibrate my V10F more often. But the V10F is very stable and does not tilt into the corners, so I watch a little change and I'm not used to it. Maybe it's because there are 3 degrees Celsius and the SLIME viscosity is impaired. I have SLIME amount according to instructions. But it may also be because the air in the tire is also hypothermic because of the heat. And I do the calibration at home before I go in 22 celsius And the V10F is freshly removed from the rack so SLIME is swollen in one place. Or I'm just crazy and slime with it has nothing to do it's very subective "feeling" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMHO, the speaker on the wheel is lacking bass on the nikola and sounds tin like and the mids could use some improvement but none the less it's a speaker on a wheel! so a mod would be nice! @Alessandro Bandin Edited February 4, 2020 by chobot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
