I’m looking for some wide(r) trucks to mount Radium’s 6485 (205kv) motors onto my Pivot GT. I wanted to use Evolves coloured trucks and motor mounts, but I think they’re too small for the new motors (85mm in length each).
Radium used to sell trucks, but they’ve removed it from their store.
Is anyone able to reccomend 200mm+ DKP trucks?
Not DKP, but probably much better Mad Esk8 3-Link Truck Set – SkyartPowerSystems
I second that these are likely better; however, the flipsky trucks have worked well for me! I did change them to TKP tho with the B-One Board DKP to TKP baseplate
how are they better? ive never used 3-links before, but I know a bunch of racers that swear by them
It depends on your goals, DKPs are super good for low speed everyday riding, but they are unstable at speeds over 20-25 unless you install hard bushings, which defeats the purpose of the DKP truck at that point.
3 link for the most part are able to offer both incredible menuverability and reasonable high speed stability
Also throwing in as an option;
Very similar result as 3 links, but requires less maintenance
Yeah I think DKP became obsolete for DIY. My take on DKP is most company use them to deal with clearance issues.
I have a DKP set up and I really enjoy it.
I think they have lots of positives if you are not trying to go super fast.
The Evolve trucks and mounts seem solid and were a good price.
I did add riptide bushings.
I super enjoy the carving and maneuverability.
Ground clearance is great. And carrying the board is great.
As usual. Friendly reminder I’m not a guy that likes going really fast…
It comes down to which dkp truck you have. 30 on metroboard dkp isn’t particularly difficult with a loose setup
