Feature Comparisons


Why should I buy the Fusion over the Diablo Bamboo?
Dont need range or power, lighter, more cost effective. Portability. More nimble.

How does the Fusion compare to the Hadean in power and feel?
Fusion has little more punchiness in the torque than the Hadean. Reason - the EFOC 2.0. Little bit more acceleration and braking responsiveness than the Hadean due to EFOC and Samsung 50s battery used.

Is the Fusion considered an upgrade or a different ride to the Bamboo GTR?
Supercarve 2 trucks, built-in lights, higher voltage battery, higher capacity battery, more speed and range, refined aesthetics, EFOC 2.0.


Battery & Motor Questions


Can I use the 12s2p on the Fusion?
Yes, you can as battery case holes align with 2p and 3p cases, making it an even lighter board but with less range.

No. The motor controller is finely tuned to this spec.
