finally building a raceboard - 4WD | Duality | Brady/Bonde Deck | 16s5p | Onsra ESCs (JKesc)

I race with linslicks on Nothing Fancy. They’re 165mm, bkb’s are 155.

As long as you have low truck angles and stay on a track (aka no potholes or rough roads) I bet they’d work

Imagine a controller motor combo you can just plug in and it just works :grin:

Its just so funny that it always ended up that close :smiley: It felt like a real championship battle for sure. I am really interested to see how the start field will converge next year as I personally dont plan any significant upgrade at this time.

Maybe only high speed gearing on the bigger tracks.

they should. my trucks just arrived so imma throw the brp hubs on there to double check tomorrow probably. (don’t have my deck yet tho so that’ll have to wait till next week when i hopefully get that)

These are probably a lil too high rebound for what I’m looking for. Probably going to stick with WFB since they are the lowest rebound bushing afaik.

Definitely interesting but they don’t seem to make it in Tall sizes and regular heights don’t work well with this much truck articulation haha.

Yea my 37.5deg front truck has minimal clearance already on the Linns, though BRPs should probably still clear just with very minimal clearance.

Any upgrades for me into next year will be looking for electronic stability, possible at the cost of total power but I just want to be able to bring a board to a race and not have to think about if there’s any issues with the board.

That’s the goal for me with these controllers haha, underpowered but should be bulletproof.

the front centerset has roughly 35mm of clearance running brp’s and there’s enough axle space to fit drive hubs on the axles. you’ll have less clearance on the offset ones but i’m only using the offset ones for the rear while will be running low angles so i’m good.

Hanger orientation plays a big part in the clearance. “Regular” hanger orientation on the flat nose version would have approximately 20mm more clearance but also 20mm higher ride height. Centerset hanger that @Ash mentioned and that you’re switching to would have about 10mm more clearance/ride height.

@tuckjohn for MTB, it would be nice if decks had additional truck mounting hole locations because potentially then you could mount the front truck in the flipped direction and gain the 20mm ground clearance and maintain the low ride height.

Aye, agree.

Although that’s assuming the trucks are the limiting factor :joy:
