literally just a 0 degree RKP bro

no its a VALKYRIE VOXTER on Steroids.
@Ean.esk8 idk if you will make a thread but I gotta know if it uses a 22x22 hanger profile? I can tell the coners have a smaller chamfer instead of fillets
@Boardnamics Is the Channel truck still due āSoonā?? Still waiting for MIII to roll out?

The foot hand grip seems odd

Tbh Iām actually kinda into that handle. Not as a foot hook so much but for handlebar-esque mounted accessories.

They would look great on display, not sure if it has any inner beauty.

The adjustable baseplates, are defiantly a nice to have for the price. Presumming that they are stable, vs the T design of most trucks this design prevents bending. The only downside ive noticed were bushings are 11-13mm.
Had these been compatble with Tall bushinngs 19-22mm would have been perfect. Still though 9/10 and they look great
22.5-67.6 Adjustable angles
Those are too short of axles, thereās nowhere good to mount a motor or gear drive that I can see, and I bet they only have 8mm axles. I also fail to see how the kingpin is accessed or adjusted.
Please back this up with some evidence.

Bruh, I said āHubsā 
for motor mounts of course not. (kingpin otherside acceesable)
8mm Works fine for hubs. 10mm possible as the axles are replaceable)

Hey friends
Looking for alternatives/similar trucks to Luna 350sā¦ had a miscommunication with moon and didnāt get a pair from his last batch.
Figured itās worth looking into something similar that would fill my needā¦
BN270s arenāt wide enough, I get wheel bite. Are there any other super wide RKPs or am I basically stuck going to channels? Any advice is appreciated

Doesnāt look like thereās a RKP option thatās wider than the lunas. Wonder if Etoxx might be able to make something custom for ya.

It looks like this system has very little slop.

Iāve been working on this project for long enough that i finally feel like itās polished enough to show off, hereās my prototype trucks capable of active baseplate angle adjustment. Not just an active damper system, or variable bushing stiffness, but an actual variable steering ratio as the design goal. Current spec has an adjustment range of 30 degrees, built for a front caliber 2 RKP truck at an angle range of 30-60 degrees. Designed to fit onto an IDEA drop deck with itās own custom drop bracket, and using a linear servo for actuation. Iām hoping to finally have a truck that doesnāt sacrifice low speed maneuverability or high speed stability with this system, and as far as i can tell, this hasnāt been done before.

Will forces from the road through the truck be experienced by the servo? Would a servo handle that kind of back drive force for a long period of time?
I really like this concept

Looks like the axle is the center of rotation, so there shouldnāt be weight loads torqueing the actuator, right? I love this concept, itās so cool.
Any plans to make the adjustment automatic based on speed? Like you could fit an encoder or an alternator disc to the front wheels to pick up the rotation rate.

They actually have a more affordable version coming out soon. These are the best longboard trucks out right now, very little slop. Tried them on an esk8 and it was amazing, some day weāll be able to have 140 mm trucks on esk8 besides hub motor
