Any news on hypertrucks clamps?

The clamps that were remade fit correctly now. Need to order some bearings and bolts specific to the LC drives and need to print some spacers…

Err not sure tbh. Might work on a few more truck prototypes and see what I like.
In other news I am working on a gear drive adaptor for the NoSno composite hangers. I am stoked

@moon I’m trying to assemble my gears, and the MBS clamps are so damn tight, I’m having to tap them on with a hammer. I’m a bit scared they’re gonna lock up before I get to the fastening screw. Any tips?
Do I need a press, or a file? Or jsut to be more brutalist with them?
Are they oil slicks?
No. They are Metal Matrix
I used a PVC pipe that was slightly wider than the hanger, and used a rubber mallet and that to push them on. Worked like a charm. Don’t forget to put the gear drive case on first though, lol. That mistake took an hour to undo from my part xd
Knew I shouldn’t have gone for a non-CNC truck

I have the oil slick version, I had to file them a bit for the drive clamp to fit.
Tap the clamps on until they get tight but so you can still remove them. You can then see marks on the trucks where you have to sand or file those spots down. Keep trying that until the clamps go on. Should not take very long.

Both of mine are locked up before they have even got over the sunken grub screw, guess I need some fettling if I dont want these to be a press-fit fiasco

TL DR of the Lunas they are worth every penny, I have not been able to put alot of miles on the APEX AIRs to compare, but so far I have not enjoyed another set of trucks as much, only thing is they one thing and one thing only Riptide WFB bushings and the right durometer for your weight, now I can go full throttle hitting my current max speed around 50-55 km/h with the most stable ride available.
With how wide the trucks are and the WFB formula the trucks become “anti-wobble” I do dare say, because I have had other trucks that start resonating and want to wobble if you dont stay steady with the foot, while with this setup I can “provoke” speed wobbles and they just get “drained” by the setup.
I will increase wheel size and increase motor pinion count to increase the speed, but I’m just enjoying this speed range too much right now.
Cons are as following moon geardrives ground clearance is not great so anything smaller than 7" will end up you scraping the group all the time and secondly, this is a really WIDE BOI setup, it’s nothing petite about it, but you get used to it really quick.
