@davidbonde. That’s a hell of a work out. How fast were you taking that heel side to toe side S bend in the course? I really wanna see you hook up a metr. to your rig for video overlay of your telemetry.

Do you know when these will become available?
Looking forward to getting them rigged up.
Oh, and the shirt is sweet! The logo reminds me of The Mighty Ducks cartoon I loved as a kid. Looks sick!

Track is 330 meter long. … My best time on the skateboard is 32.32 sec.
So that’s just a little over 10 m/s or 36 km/h average speed. That’s mental.
My best time in a cart is 32.11.
LOL

I am wondering why you moved your links so far in compared to the older models @moestooge wont they become inherently more unstable like this as you said? Since you have a way longer arm behind them where the wheel is connected.

Good Lord! Things are finally moving along.
All parts in place and “list” is in order being contacted as trucks are assembled and shipped.
Web-store will have a $590.usd on the E-truck and $490. On the DH.
List people take $100off.
Will continue the List discount to non list forum members until the end of year or as supply runs out.

Still have sets available, shoot me a Message.

On the E-truck I wanted the motor plates to adj independent of the radius rod mounts and loose the vertical flag mounts. Having the rod mount collar and bushing spacer hardware inside the adj nut helps with easement of axel change and equal collar mount spacing from center of axel.
Yes, if the rod was pushed outward the leverage over axel is increased. To put in perspective look at the axel with on a wide hanger RKP.
There is a 2" or less control fulcrum between the pivot cup and the kingpin.
Was it a compromise in function to move the arms in? I don’t see any loss of control by moving the arm inward.
With an all mechanical connection it will mean a bit higher load on the
radius rod hardware. Will not be a stability loss when the parts are strong enough to handle the controlled load.
Hope this answers your question.

My post was in reference to the bushing options. Was wondering what options would be available and how they would differ from the ones fitted from stock?

The duro on your set is 87a/84a Riptide Krank Formula. Get acclimated to the truck and let me know what duro combination you would like to move to.

@MoeStooge can you shed some light on how to remove the motor mounts to replace the bushings?

Got it, but what about the bushings on the trucks with the motor plates? Is there a way to get at those bushings?
Motor plates, remove support bar, loosen collar and unscrew plate. Plate is threaded to axel with a threaded clamp collar

Also, Moe ships these to you using environmentally friendly biodegradable corn starch packing peanuts. I threw mine in the garden and watched em dissolve as I watered em lol
Really love the versatility and adjustability of pretty much everything on the trucks. Truly does make them a really adaptable piece of gear that you can transfer to multiple boards.

@Ahil I noticed they don’t fully break down w water so I dissolved a garbage bags full of them and took the residue and fed it to some oyster mushrooms. Experiment is about halfway though but the mushrooms are starting to eat the peanuts. https://forum.esk8.news/t/mad-science-how-long-will-these-mushrooms-take-to-eat-your-wheels/34286/136?u=ace

It would be cool if they turned blue but they break down the coloring so it’s just so you can see them
