Hi there, I am starting to become interested in using RKP trucks on my Hurricane. I have switched to the Zeus baseplates (TKP) right after I got the board, but think that maybe RKP is more what I like (judging mostly by how much i like the ride feel of the Exway X1 Riot).
Is there anyone out there who is using RKP on a Hurricane? What about clearance/wheelbite/ride feel? LMK!
You might be able to avoid this by top mounting instead of drop through mounting. I’m doing something similar with swapping my zeus pro to BN 270 hangers and adjustable baseplates, and i’ve had some anti sink plates made to fill the gap when i swap to top mounting.
I was considering BN hangers and adj. baseplates as well, but would like to dropmount. I am using TB110s and Verreal MAD 105s mostly. Would kinda be ok with not using the AT wheels, if that is the sacrifice i’d have to make. Looooong motormount sounds Frankensteiny to me, so maybe the wheelbase extensions could help?
that looks like 10mm shorter? eh, im already on the loosest i can be without wheelbite when i full lean, but maybe adjustable baseplate will help a bit
Might have to skip the Hurricane RKP idea, judging by what I read here. Any suggestion for what kinda setup I’d need for a (properly) blown-up version of the X1 pro in terms of ride feel? I kinda wanna make use of the spare Hurricane battery, but I guess that is not the road to start the project.
Lemme think on that. The interesting thing for me is that somehow, I have never gotten even a hint of wobble on my X1-Pro. I run the trucks loose, too. Even when racing it was fully planted.
Let’s call on a big boy who I know has ridden not only the X1-Pro, but a ton of nice RKP trucks.
