Any tips for the truck angles against speed wobbles?

Lower them :upside_down_face:

EDIT: ideally you want your rear angle a decent bit lower than your front angle. This will help allow you to turn up front while keeping the back a little more dead/ stable.:call_me_hand::call_me_hand:

Why does the baseplate for BN trucks sit so far back? Is that the same as Caliber?

My Paris baseplates are another 3/8" forward I think, can I just swap them?

Edit: you canā€™t swap them, they donā€™t have similar pivot cups

you could use the diy brushing casting method to make hybrid piviots maybe

Would be really cool to do some custom laser etching or engraving.

Iā€™m about to mess around with different branded baseplates up front. Iā€™m running into clearance issues on a build and Ā¹/ā“" - 3/8" would be a huge help.
I have a caliber 50 and bkb cal clone to try.
I think it is my ticket.

Haha the wheels are cutting it a bit closeā€¦might have to downgrade to TB110s

I think it has to do with the extra baseplate height to allow more deck clearance in drop through mode(swear I read that somewhere).
Iā€™m gonna mess with it tomorrow to confirm.

Yeah I want to drop mount too but I get terrible wheel bite in the front even after drilling a new set of baseplate holes

if anyone needs a more realistic version of any particular part for using it in a project just lmk.

might be able to make a tiny belt drive with 70mm wheels using the motor plateā€¦idiy why you would actually.

Let you know what I find out. The front is what Iā€™m addressing too, though mines a top mount kicktail.

@Boardnamics might sharing some light on this? Does the hanger fit only one version of Paris trucks?
