Though it is very hard to reverse mount the motors.

Yuup, motors out the back is no Bueno.
The radius rods use up that space.

Yeah, i really have to get back on making some for myself, but money is tight and i have put quite the amount already in my wheels.

ah yeah, hahaha, me stupid, lols

Im also mocking up this genius design atm.
Too much things for my wallet, too, but more than great @MoeStooge sharing his knowledge and experiences on what he is working on for years.
Thank you for that Moe, your work is more than genius.
3Link FTW!

Thanks, design wise I am really stoked where they are and to see these on different builds.

I think this year/next years boards will be the time of the 3link, can’t wait to see all of these crazy boards with them!

My shoulder is almost healed up! I might need to get back on that waiting list… @MoeStooge do you plan at any point to offer a chassis with the trucks? I be ok with doing all of my own body panels and deck if you’d build the frame

Thanks for the link. It was very interesting to read it. I’ve also watched the videos and I’m really impressed by speeds you go. But I still didn’t get the benefits of those trucks over existing trucks, besides they look very cool.

So if I get you right, you don’t try to solve any problems on existing trucks, but you want to create an additional design instead?

The 3-links have a different feel to them compared to the other trucks you mentioned. The turning and the carving feels different. It’s an other option.

Some day I’d like to build chassis for the massis.
They are labor intensive and my day job doesn’t allow much time for it.

Isn’t stability greatly improved? I thought that’s why @MoeStooge is achieving such crazy speeds.

I believe you can achieve crazy speeds on other trucks as well. Just look at all the fast boards out there. They have different trucks. These trucks can relatively simple be dialed in for both very high speed and a tight track. Two moths back I did 56 mph and now the same truck is used to short track ride.
But for me it’s the feel. They feel different. I didn’t really get totally satisfied on rkp, tkp and channel never resonated with me. These are the ones I have felt most comfortable on. I also like how I can easy change the tilt to stear ratio. I can have the same loose truck setup but with either very much steer or almost no steer. Something I haven’t been able achieve on other trucks.

This. This is exactly how I can relate and feel on these trucks compared to others.

When were talking precision trucks, that knocks 95% of what people ride on electric out of your question.

I don’t see any problems with existing trucks.
They work fine for their intended use.

Truck play, walk, slop, what you call it, makes for bad times when torsional forces are introduced.

All the conventional trucks you mentioned have their own inherent problems when powered.

3-link is a precision adjustable steering system with a wide wide steering fulcrum. Torsional
Forces on a zero rake axel have zero effect on torque steer when accelerating or braking during a high G stuck down turn.

@Chricious
If ya can’t figure it out from there I can’t help you understand.
You will have to ride it for yourself.

Christian, maybe you have to change your POV and look at things from another perspective. Please dont feel offended bc its no offence.
Its not about ā€œbetterā€ and ā€œnot goodā€ its about small differences and preferences and the whole setup and deck deep down to the bushings and everything.
You cant say 93a bushings are better than 85a bushings on a downhill setup for example and thats the key here.
