Those hubs need a modded hanger, there is a 12mm square mount face so you’d need to lathe the first ~50mm of the hanger down to the axle then mill a square face at the new end of the hanger

Plus those hubs suck. I have some from prebuilts that someone can have for the cost of shipping in 70mm and 90mm

Yea the super cheap Ali ones are probably not the best. I think the backfire hubs are also like that with the Square at the back.
And you had to live in US so it’s out of equation for EU retards like me
Count me in!
what mounts are those?

Older style from BKB.
Fixed angle.
Low profile.
Single bolt.
Really nice kinda nice.
But not perfect.
May bend or move…
Can’t find them anymore…
Boardnamics has a short mount that is not crazy bigger than these.

I am looking for some narrow trucks (145-135mm) for my omakase.
I have talked to netherskate.co and they can chop my cnc boardnamics/3ds hangers. Price is 130 for two hangers
Thinking about cutting some caliber 3 too because i like rake
Has anyone tried this? https://www.reddit.com/r/longboarding/comments/1p1zgfb/cutting_trucks_faster_method/
Looks really simple

I haven’t tried the modifications, but the BN145 trucks are amazing.
Only change I would make is to make them 157mm instead of 145mm — solely because it’s really difficult to find 49mm long motors but really easy to find 55mm long motors (6355).
If it’s for a board without motors or single drive only then 145mm is greatness

For this build i want to use one motor in front of the hanger and one in the rear. So i can have very narrow trucks. I think with raked trucks you can fit two motors without the rear motor hitting the baseplate. For non raked trucks you probably need a little longer mounts
To minimize torquesteer on that setup, I’d minimize the power levels and the hanger lengths, maybe even less than 145mm. The longer the hanger is, torquesteer would seem to be higher. I recommend putting the rear motor on heelside and the front motor on toeside. For a normal-footed rider, that would buck slightly right on braking and left on acceleration. I would also use smaller motors. Sounds like an awesome machine!
All the way to sheared bolts… i loved the ride feel of SR TKPs but that truck design is totally no good for esk8. I tried several methods of holding those trucks together but the bolts always end up shearing. Cannot recommend

really…do you mean axle bolts? Yeah, I already had one shread. It was on an RKP, but that was probably my fault from overtightening. But never got thrm loose, but always checked before ride. I didn’t even know that was a thing. Did you had that on TKP? I had many trucks, some made for esk8, but the ride feel of SR still gets me.
Not the kingpin or axle bolts, the two bolts that hold the hanger to the pivot cup piece
