Thanks Brad, but we mod it to TKP using the ownboard new baseplate, probably would need a different setup?
I’m the #1 pussy around here.

Haha, me too. Doesn’t stop me from racing though. Leaving DKP is a good step for fearful speeddevils, I guess.
And yes, I will just post the setup in the riptide thread, let’s see. Thx again. ah and by the way, I think I read something about you mentioning Kieran stating the free pulley coming with the AT-only-Hurricane; I found the vid, and he clearly stated that there will be a free street pulley. Well, didn’t happen, as you now. I whined about it in Meepo support, but got sent away, basically. Not caring about the 25 bucks, but I thought, a man’s words are his core value, so, gotta keep the “promise”.
How is the baseplate different from the Meepo?
fine, i will be number 2 then
nah, i heard its not true kegel, but u can let us know once u receive it, but i wonder if they edit that part out after someone found out they weren’t sending the free pulley
its a TKP baseplate that uses just the hanger of those DKP trucks from meepo / ownboard or whoever sells those chinese DKP (i guess its possible that evolve and flipsky one would also fit)

ah, on kieran’s personal channel
I doubt using the non stock baseplate will make a difference to the kit since it is a functional replacement.

got it, so we just use the 3rd and 4th bushing from the kit?

Hey Dave, thanks for stepping in. The Hurricane is now a TKP, with the Zeus baseplate. What setup would you recommend for a speedevil with a focus on very fast and wide, snowboard-ish turns and therefore good high-speed stability. Preferably a slow snapback (rebound?), with turning radius not a concern. 80kg rider weight.
Got my Hurricane about a month ago. Have this issues that I think is ESC related. When on the work bench, I hit the throttle and only one wheel will rotate. The next time I hit the throttle, only the other wheel will rotate. Sometimes when I let go of the throttle, the motors will keep on going like it is has cruise control. The only thing I can think of is the ESC is malfunctioning. Any thoughts? Anyone else have this issue?
Lol it sounds like a weird remote calibration issue. Hard to say
Send meepo a message. They should replace some parts for ya.
I’ll contact Meepo after the Chinese New Year. It is a super big holiday for them.

Can someone post a picture? Are you converting a DKP into a TKP? If so, what height bushings is the system designed to run? Sorry, I wish I had time to go through the thread.

yes. He removes the DKP baseplate and middle thing (whatever it is called), installs a TKP baseplate and uses the same hanger as before.
The hanger is sold as a DKP as well as TKP hanger.
Left “TKP” - right “DKP”
The conversion only consinsts of changing baseplate and removing the middle DKP arm.
*Disclaimer, these photos are from when @frame just tried out to mount them. I’m not sure if he changed anything else or optimized it since.
There was a clearance issue that i am aware of but i think that had to do with how these boards mounted the baseplates.

u got it all right, just a baseplate replacement and use the hanger, no middle arm
once i top mount it, i only change back to using flat washer, then that’s all.
drop mount is not possible with original motor mount, but if there is a longer mount, it should be possible…

OK thanks, in this new hybrid, what height boardside and roadside bushings are they designed to accept?
