đŸ›č 3D design and stuff

You are giving me a funny idea of like an oval shaped gearbox that has variable turning amounts from level to full carve. Could be disastrous at speed maybe

That’s actually a new concept for me! I knew about pinch of wheels for reactive changes (open) or steady straight (negative) but didn’t think it would in fact affect the corner itself

Here is what I got with “my” trucks geometry
The wheels are somehow moving right but they stay straight
Any MIT engineer wanna help? :stuck_out_tongue:
I know I could try to replicate the LEAN BOARDs trucks but Maybe there’s an easy solution to my problem

I know the upper spring is suppose to be a strut/tensioner but I can also see this as suspension too now

It was indeed introduced as a tensioner and suspension!
It may be a little small for this use though

Hey I love your new version! Glad to see it receives better input than in the French forum too :fire:

Do you think you can make a version adapted to regular decks? Top mount and drop through for example with customizable angle baseplate.

I imagine a Jet type deck with this under. Silver surfer vibes right there.
