If the wheel sprockets are ~40 teeth, you should be good with your idea mounts.

The one time I proper offroaded with @Creavenger, my eToxx chain drive got clogged with thick mud and jammed to the extent that both 06B chains stretched and one actually snapped. I was lucky it didn’t write-off the motors.

That’s not too say I’m not a fan of chain drives. I really am… to the extent that I’m considering modding the LSSS to chain drive (like @kubbur)… but then that’s for street use.

A 06B drive with a ratio of 1:5 (or more) means your wheel sprocket doesn’t leave you with much ground clearance… certainly not as much as a GD will. It might possibly provide added traction in soft ground but it’ll take a hammering on anything harder and it’ll pick up little stones and twigs in ways that will stop you (me) dead in your (my) tracks.

A well manufactured chain guard that runs under the wheel sprocket would further compromise your ground clearance but it would massively reduce wear and tear on the drive train and would practically eradicate any chance of jamming.

I personally wouldn’t try those sorts of conditions again with anything less than 9" tyres.

I bought a set of those - best purchase of 2021 by far I also rode all winter :joy:

I go places with my dual drive chains and 9" I used only be able to ride my AWD Bajaboard, I enjoyed 8" but I never ride on the road tbh I want to be able to use 10" but couldn’t find any big enough sprockets

no snaps here, I find chains tend to clean themselves if they are not too tight , I had a jam when I had them a little tight when i first started using them when I first hit a deep sand.

For 8” wheels is from my point of view most safety setup 35t on wheel and 9t pinion. That is probably smolest dimension possible to use in case of 06b sprocked. Next point is that You shoul have some safety distance between sprocket. I will choose distace equal to 2chain pcs length or more. To be sere that in case that chain will be destroyed, it will be not blocked between both sprocket.

@ApexBoards I was looking at your antisink plates, but DHL at $42 is the only option. Is there a cheaper option that is not showing up for shipping to California?

Oof, there will be cheaper shipping for sure. We have been looking into scrapping DHL Express as although its good, its just wayyyyy too expensive now. We need to maintain XX amount of shipments a month with them to get keep our account so its not even like we can offer it as an option. We are looking into alternatives at the moment.

That means slower shipping for everyone, but DHL express has become so expensive, yesterday they wanted to charge me £54 to send a BMS to Sweden!

Fresh Decks

We also have an updated livery for our custom Haero Bro Deck.

Its the same Bro deck you know and love, but with our exclusive apex customisations and a brand new set of graphics.

 
 
 


Predator Refresh

All this cool shit will be available on new orders for APEX Predators from today.

There’s a lot happening all at once here but bear with us, the product listings for the Predator will be updated with these changes in the next week or so when we have had a change to get some sexy pictures, but if you interested feel free to drop us a message.
 
 
 


That’s all we have to share for now but rest assured that were not done yet. There’s already more things in the pipeline and development will always continue.

Boring housekeeping note:
We want to keep this Vendor thread as clean as possible so if we could direct discussion about new products to their specific threads and keep this place for website updates, questions and general apex hype that would be great :grin:
