That’s a good point, and bet a little 3dp something that spanned both nuts amd wrapped them to let you torque them down would be a good solution, if it just captured both nylock nuts well enough without getting in the way or pushing them out of true… if i didn’t suck at 3d modeling

I suppose it’s possible with a really long endmill… One downside though is that it would eliminate drop through compatibility, mainly used with brackets.

I just keep coming back to this…
I’m talking myself up to swapping my Apex Airs for Dualities. Tito & friends, could you help me hone in on 300mm MTB standard vs centerset?
They’d be installed on Mountain Man: Bro deck and 4WD Apex Jump Drives. 2x Reacher 6385 rear, 2x Reacher 6365 front.
My goal is for max off-road ability, so max ground clearance.

If ground clearance is the goal then best bet would be the offset hangers flipped inwards

That is a good looking Magnetic. Looking forward to seeing it at esk8con.

It’s worth mentioning, on the offset hanger the axle is offset approximately 18mm from the center of the bolt pattern. So in the inward configuration it may be beneficial if the deck has extra mounting holes to compensate or if possible drill a few extra.
Lowest point (front baseplate) ~28mm below axle when offset hanger mounted inwards, ~38mm below on centerset, ~48mm below offset hanger mounted outwards.

Sounds like a plan!

@Titoxd1000 First impression with the Duality trucks, very impressed. With stock bushing setup I can get my APEX deck to touch the hanger if I put enough effort (125lbs rider 
). Standing still, the setup is very loose compares to what I’m used to, but very stable at speed. Have not been able to push it pass 35mph due to motor problem, waiting on new motors atm. Your trucks make me feel like I’m on a proper truck setup for my weight. @Egtscs can vouch on how stiff my setups used to be on Hypertrucks and Matrix 3.

If you flip your hangers around, you can avoid this. Any reason you have them flipped inward? You have a ton of ground clearance with the top-mount battery.

Wait, if I flip them the other way. Do I get more or less clearance?
If you flip them 180’ so the hanger is pointed outward, you’ll get much better clearance between the hanger and deck, but the deck will be lower to the ground.
I’m using the same deck & truck combo. The only difference is that I drilled another set of truck mounting holes to push the trucks as far out as possible.

I might just be dumb dumb and had mine installed backward. Talked with Tito and my front truck is at 25 degree atm instead of 35…

It’s a very easy mistake to make. The newer baseplates with the single removable pivot arm are 5 degrees which is a very subtle angle. I think I will start engraving the angle in the new batches.
Glad to hear you had good experience with 25 degrees up front and I am interested to hear how you will like the switch to 35 degrees. You will have higher steer to lean ratio and the bushings should feel a little stiffer since you lose some leverage going higher in angle.

i think the grub screw for pulling the queenpin would be better if it was on the side like the first batch on the 35° flat baseplate. can’t reach it without removing the truck completely unfortunately because of the angle it’s at.

On the topic of removing the queen pin, is there any thread locker on the grub screw? Any heat needed to remove it?
I leave the set screw loose or barely tight enough where the queenpin can still slide up or down. This would only require access to set screw for bushing changes which in most cases requires removing the trucks.
There is the option to tighten the set screw completely which would call for loosening and tightening the set screw during every bushing tension change. In that case I can see where the set screw on the side would be beneficial. From my testing I could not perceive between a tight or loose set screw. If you and others can tell the difference that might be a good case to bring it back.

There is medium strength thread locker. No heat is needed to remove.
