kinpin has better clearences now, hanger width down to 310mm (was 330mm)

Could straight-up install on the previous batch RTKP baseplate.

This is a pretty standard configuration as long as RKPs have existed. The Randall R2 have adjust able rake by flipping the hanger over.

I have no idea if this is applicable to the new rtkp design. It does look as if the new truck has quite a lot of positive rake compared to the last version of the rtkp which was neutral rake (i think?). So if it was possible to flip it, you would probably have a higher bushing stack, and end up with a lot of negative rake.

It’s not even unique to RKP’s anymore. IDEA has it on his SR TKP hangers after i realized SR hangers can be flipped on the bushing seat lol. And having owned a set - absolutely works and is great.

Reverse the hanger will work too, but have to remove the slave kinpin.

Aw so if we flip it it will pretty much turn into a standard RKP

Yep, pretty much…but it going to be negative rake if flip over…so less leans.

@Ean.esk8
Has this been addressed? It’s currently the only thing stopping me from grabbing a set of these gorgeous trucks.

I thought about this…but it is really hard to match the design. unless make the hanger as hexagon shape.
