Hi! Finnaly I finish my first DD coversion. I used the MAD hubs. That has been the idea behind since the beginning of the group buy… Now only time will tell if they are gonna last. I designed to be reversable so in case I can come back to the original configuration.
Power forms on the setting and battery. I used 6380 more for them
Cost don’t know the prototype costs always more then the final version. Compare to Mad Fury here is dim scratch. I think would be more towards 600-700$.
Question for you. The trucks you use seem to be Paris clones if I’m correct, won’t putting heavy DD to the trucks weaken the structural integrity of the axles?
If you check better you will see that I used Paris truck for my prototype where I shorter the axle and made a 12mm steel sleeve on top. I am using it everyday and it holds up fine. Anyhow for the final model I provided I made a custom hanger with full 12mm steel axle. There is nothing left of the Paris it’s all CNC and lathe made.
It’s because here you see the short thread version. If you check in the other forum you will see the whole story.
Very interesting, wouldn’t the axles still face a problem if I jump curves with them? those axles must be made out of titanium to hold up! Look forward to hearing progress on these.
This thing looks like a beast! What does it weigh in?
Are 12mm full stain steel step down to 10mm. To me are rock solid but Yeh in general everything has a breaking point. I sued stronger Alu for the hanger and stain steel for the axle. For sure are stronger then what available in the skateboard truck market. They are conperable to precision truck for material I guess
I think that the main trouble is along the axle not the step down. So there is 4mm from 8 to 12mm.the step down could also be 8mm. It’s a short 35mm in lenght. Won’t be a problem anyway.
