Ahaha, I canāt imagine!
Why not?
I was thinking theyād make awesome front luge trucks, but didnāt feel they would be necessary on rear.

Why not mount something like this dropped through the deck where the primary static link kingpin thing is, to replace the kingpin, with a sliding interface between it and the bushing pivot point?
Air suspension on a 3-linkā¦ seems like a relatively easy design in CADā¦ and as it compresses it will reduce the steering a bit like the steering adjustment points but on the kingpin side, which would be good for stabilityā¦ hit a pothole and for that moment not only is the bump dampened but steering is diminished for that moment.
Anyone got a CAD file? Iād love to modify it to show what I mean if this description isnāt clear with words, and if would be funā¦ I donāt have enough reasons to boot Fusion anymore. Iād be happy to share back as well and have no plans to use it, just would love to see it happen somewhere and hear how it works.

I honestly think you could make it work and ride acceptably. youāve honestly considered bump-steer with an articulating truck so I wont go into itā¦ but honestly I see it as overly complex and expensive, heavy for an esk8
Iāve actually been playing with similar but vastly differing using only sk8 bushings for suspension (damping) Iāve presently only gone as far as the cocktail napkin sketch stageā¦ using pneumatics and normal race courses I really donāt see the need racing of an active suspensionā¦

Yeah maybe for an off road racing series lol

Active suspension racing could actually be more dangerousā¦ right? not really a point either since everyone has moved to pnuematics for racing until some big soft duro urethane comes out. I mean at fast speeds wonāt it react weirdly? Or am I just overthinking thisā¦

Iāve toyed with ideas like that as well, the problem I keep running into though is how do you keep pressure even across the baseplate/only move on one axis? Otherwise itās just a soft riser, Khiro makes some sick thick soft risers that do great to dampen bumps amazingly that also kill responsiveness completely.

ifān you hit a big assed hole on a race course something already has begun to go VERY VERY wrong

So many people already have 12S8P battery packs, whatās a few more lbs? And $100 extra in shocksā¦ I donāt think you can argue expensive when people drop $huuuundreds on oil slicks, and endless cosmetic enhancements
As for complexity? With an arguably almost not even borderline-just clever enough design, itās two extra bolts, the shock, a UHMW insert and cut a bit differently. It could be made simple enough you could look at it and figure it outā¦ this aināt no Hoover vaccumā¦ (also relatively simple, right?)
