I want a place to collect info about making a full suspension off road board a la bajabord but with more steel
Here we go Amigo

This is the exact design I had in mind with a suspension system like the Bajaboard G4X but without the driveshafts and just the classic style motor mounts.

I donât know anything about these guys it just popped up in my IG feed, looks a bit like Baja tho.

What would the benefits be of full suspension besides comfort?

Other than jumps, fun to build, which is what this is all about really

Not a discussion of a board beyond itâs mechanical construction. IE donât trash the electronics (they suck) or any other company issue of the ECOMOBL suspension boards in this thread.
but
Want to ride one, and tear it apart.

huh take a looks at this
This makes it more clear how it is basically a 0 degree split channel truck with suspension attached to the top part, as well as wheel pivots and a steering rack.
Wonder if you could start with a MBS baseplate and end up with something like that.

thank you random google image search
- Do not ride on paved surfaces. This board is designed for off road use only. By design, four wheel drive vehicles have wheels that pull at the same time. When on paved surfaces it can cause excessive wear on the tires and has the potential make the board difficult to ride, due to unequal pulling.
huh fixed diff I guess
@Riako how dare you hide this from us jk

How are those hunter boards doing? They claim to have sold out 2020 but i have not seen anything about them.

Funnily enough, I contacted âthe Hunter boardâ companyâs CEO last week end he told me they were entering production stage.
Look at this beauty in action

Is the up-and-down movement independent of the lean/turn movement then?
I can imagine that if the suspension is properly calibrated to your weight, you could get a lovely anti-grav ride. Iâm just wondering how that might upset board-feel and control though.

Things strikes fear and awe into me. I mean, old women rush to pick up their dogs when they see me coming towards them. I can imagine they just flat out faint when they see this roaring up the path.
Are we going to get a guided tour of the mechanics on this badboy, @NoWind?

@NoWind isnât on the forum much (he is too busy with making monsters like these).
tbh from the pics it looks âfairlyâ simple
While looking neat I have hard time trusting those motor axles, everything looks overly loose like shopping troley.
As a low octane cruiser, damn that looks smooth and enjoyable. But small hubs doesnât inspire too much confidence in performance.
Donât even need that, old folks step away in grass when Iâm driving towards them on my 70cm shortie board. I guess itâs the stance that doesnât transfer too much trust in my build. Coworkers started calling me ââgranpa grinderââ for that reason.
