I would love to swap deck with you to both get the right one … but got the middle flex …
I really like your grip graphic

Thx for your offer Papa Klaus but I want to keep my flexy one like I say
(coming from a trampoline, loool)
I can send you the stiff one on Friday.
Not for bindings. For the esc box
Don’t mind about the graphics much.
They nice, but will be covered anyway with the battery box.
First thing I found out, I can’t mount the bindings how I would like to.
The drilled holes close to the nose and tail are too far out to get the bindings right seated.
Need to play a bit with it.
Noice idea!
Mine looks already like a spaceship.
and a photoshopped battery case, looks nice with the etoxx hubs.
Small update:
It’s definitely not possible to mount the trucks in the position for short wheel base.
Without bindings and red shock blocks on mbs Matrix2 trucks I already hit the gear case with the deck when turning.
A 10mm riser could maybe help to fix that.
So than lowrider style
What about the 8mm rubber riser from the mbs trucks?
You are finding the same things as me back in November. I have found some stuff since also, for me it’s too low on those outer holes, it catches on every hump on the pump track. Also it being so low and long wheelbase makes it incredibly stiff to turn tight turns on barrels. So now I am in a conundrum with it, I think it needs big risers, 10mm as you suggest, which will give me the leverage back to turn well on it. Maybe risers and move to the shorter wheelbase too, havent got that far with it yet as I need longer bolts for the trucks to accomodate the risers
I have used the included 8mm risers and are bolted with the original screws, besides the countersink screws for the DavegaX mount.
@Lee_Wright i still had the hope with my smaller gear case I would get a bit more clearance, but unfortunately no.
How ever, there is not that much ground clearance difference to the trampa.
It might feel like, but it’s not much.
On the ends the Bro has even more clearance.
Some small flex competition
Trampa 15ply
Bro stiff
I can’t help but laugh watching the trampa hit the ground
You will see when you ride it, it is much more stable than the trampa when landing jumps and travelling at speed, but with that comes some loss of turning ability. I checked this recently at a karting track event and it was simply too stiff to get round 1 of the bends. Off road it’s not so noticable
It catches way more than the trampa, maybe it’s the shape but I think only riding it will you see what I mean. I’m not sure jumping in the center of the board is a valid test? The board will never flex like that under normal use
Yeah I’m very much wait to ride it.
For now it’s all just theory and first impressions.
The flex competition wasn’t meant to be a real competition. Just to show how the difference feels like. Doesn’t matter if I jump than in the middle or not.
For the trampa it wouldn’t matter anyway. Even with normal stand I would bottom the deck out when jumping with a battery in the middle.
Is it a problem? don’t think so.
Both have there ups and downs.
…and most of all it was a lot of fun like on a trampoline… should do that more often
The trampa really push you up a lot.
Should make a competition how high I can jump off the board
You will miss the spring of the trampa for jumping, feels so weird without the help to get in the air! I think you can get used to it and the upsides outweigh the negatives of the stiff deck
I just checked, trampa clearance in the middle 140mm and hero 100mm, makes quite a difference.
Also wheelbase is longer, again small but makes a big difference I find
