I’m comparing this 3 wheeled board to a regular eskate when i was making that statement.

Oh, so maybe this is more similar to the “point an shoot” stability that people have described on locked-diff Stooge boards?

Here’s a slow motion video. You can see the smoke from the tire in this one

Ok, update time!
I tried to put some soft rear bushings in,
what a shit show! Ended up doing the entire ride with the rear end flopped to one side. Torque from the drive wheel caused this. No Bueno!
Got home last night from the ride and went to work. Took the gray bushings out of my hypertrucks and installed them on the rear of duality, then put a 5° wedge up front on the flux to give me 35°.
Also removed the stock 25° lean stopper from the duality truck and printed and installed the 30° stopper.
On top of that i decided to play with some motor values and try to get a little more torque on startup.
I found some magic sauce!
Ended up manually tweaking some motor resistance numbers and playing with some sensorless startup values.
I just test rode it and was blown away again by how responsive these trucks are. With the added 5° on the nose, it really helped turning a lot. I’m not sure if it was the added 5°on the nose or the added 5° of lean. (Probably the combo) but man this thing actually turns pretty good now!

I forgot to turn the metr on until about 3/4 the way through the ride.
This board is absolutely badass now!
I feel like i need to upgrade the motor to a superflux for the maximum potential to be unleashed.

I really wish i could take off and bring this
Board to EskateCon.
Now that it rides the way it does, people are going to love it

If anyone wants the matrix3 front truck with welded onewheel hub mount, I’ll let it go cheap. $50+ shipping. I have Way too much crap sitting around.
It’ll work as a rear mount also

This board is a monster and it’s beyond cool in person.
It has an amazing presence, and look.
It’s massive with the 9 inch wheels up front and the Hub in the back.
My favorite part about it was the power delivery of the hub motor!!!
@Soflo you are a genius!!!

Ended up sending them a message on Facebook. Sounds like a chinese builder/company.

Reached out to us to see if we would manufacture their 2 wheel board. Supposedly Acedeck is the manufacture now

I think they are going to be very let down once they realize all they know how to do is computer model.

I love the design in general, but having worn-out dozens of pivot pin bushings and pins in my Matrix IIs, I worry that you’ll go through ‘em like candy w/ all of this extra leverage on that poor pin. I’d want much beefier bearings, not bushings + a beefier shoulder bolt. If you executed the same build using Tito’s Duality trucks, I think they’d survive much much longer between service. In the 6mo I’ve beat on them, zero slop has developed, where all of my channel trucks are worn loose.

The front has now been changed to a Tito truck and the rear is on hard bushings on the outside setting. The rear basically has zero movement, so it’s a non issue.
