@b264

They look very similar to the noSno trucks

@ducktaperules

They do, however the geometry is quite different. The NoSno has its kingpins as part of the hanger and its pivot point right up at the deck making it very stable but not very responsive. The Apex Air has the kingpins on the baseplate pushing the pivot point down around the same position as other common channel trucks. This makes the ride much more responsive and “divey” as it allows the rider to drop into turns the way were used to.

@ducktaperules

Parallel KingPin or “PKP” is probably a better way of describing them

This is very interesting. Always cool to see a new type of truck geometry.

@ducktaperules

These are very different to “DKP” as those have their bushings in series whereas our trucks have them in parallel.

Wasn’t saying they act like dkp just that they look like if you put dkp in the reverse position

[Turt_Turt23]

I’m also hoping/assuming you will be doing video on these trucks when they come out?

[glyphiks]

Thanks Q! Good run down. Very keen to get a ride on these

[ducktaperules]

@Turt_Turt23

is there a moon drive mount that will be coming for the apex trucks?

Can confirm

[Taraskasyanyuk]

What motors are those? Looking gooooood

[ShutterShock]

Flipsky battle hardened, looks to be either 6374 or 6384

[ducktaperules]

yeah 6384. such a shame about the massive silver flipsky logo on the other side

[ShutterShock]

I think the silver looks pretty cool actually, better than the silkscreen white

[Taraskasyanyuk]

Waiiiiitt, this just made me realize something. Do 63100s fit on them trucks with moon drives or do I need new motors? Haha

[Creavenger]

Dude that looks any custom apex motors in the pipeline?

[Lee_Wright]

you can be the first guy to try!

[Taraskasyanyuk]

It looks pretty close with those 6384s on there. May have to get a set of 6384s as a back up lol

[Lee_Wright]

Q has just gone to measure for you, 2 tics

edit, believe it or not the Maytech 63100 is only 2.5mm longer than the Flipsky 6384. Yay for standard measurements

[Taraskasyanyuk]

I have the TB63100s, wondering if those are longer. I’ll have to measure

[ducktaperules]

Lacroix 6396 Vs flipsky 6384. Both fit comfortably.

[Taraskasyanyuk]

Great, thank you!

[Schtekarsten]

Congrats with the new trucks guys! they looks awesome with those moon drives!
yeah I dont get it. stator size and outer dimensions shouldn’t be too much of an ask…

[ducktaperules]

This is my other board with 6396 motors plus 8mm adapter plates on some SAS drives. Still plenty of space.

@ducktaperules

They have no fixed pivot points like TKP, RKP, and traditional channel trucks. This means that they are very smooth on rough terrain whilst remaining very stable.

Ok, my bad we are not talking about sketchy carvy trucks. Noted
