Building with the Bustin Sportster

thanks…that should be plenty of clearance. I plan on deck swapping with my Ownboard bamboo. With the Evolve 6" kit i have about 3"/76mm clearance. With the 110mm, I’m bottoming out on high bumps on the road. The OB deck does have a big dropdown.

Well I overlooked something. Bought the mk3 not thinking about the tkp trucks and how close the wire channels come

The MK3 will not fit TKP trucks, especially with adjustable baseplates

Looks like I’ll be doing some trimming unless I decide to sell and get an mk2

I’d just cut an inch off

Yeah but then you don’t have nice sides for wire grommets and stuff. I’m glad this was posted, would have made the same mistake myself.

Yea, I’ll cut a slot into it and keep it very close to the baseplate.

Need to find something to try to match the black

Thought I’d share this wheel-bite test info in the thread it belongs in:

12s3p stacked nickel, non-flex pack?

Bara has a 12S bms that would fit this, exact same scenario. Never got him to tell me which one it was tho.

How much wheel bite are you getting from that?

None, even at full lean. Does U-turns nicely in a single lane.

I have a Riptide fatcone boardside, street barrel roadside in the rear. And a barrel and street barrel in front. 93a/90a respectively.

The Kahuas are decently wide.

Of all the eskates I’ve tried, this is my favorite so far. Feels like home.

Do you have any top down pics of how it clears when it turns? I’m running 220mm hangars and it’s getting bite at full lean with the trucks moved an extra 3/8" past the last hole

Sure. I’ll be home tomorrow, I’ll get some photos and/or video for you. :+1:

FWIW, I chose the Fatcone specifically because it’s meant to restrict movement a bit. And also, I always use Kranks since I can actually dial in the compression and tune it passed the bite point.
