ok I realize you mean on that version with the channel truck bushings not the stacks of barrel bushings oops sorry. Maybe mayyybe you could stack some urethane slices and washers there but it would be tight.
Honestly the channel truck bushings need a custom baseplate. Maybe the baseplate I design with only a single rod end and two bushing seat set locations could be customized to fit them better.
You would not HAVE to buy the dual rod triple bushing setup it is just possible to cut that one up into a smaller/lighter truck. haha prob best to just sell it however in that case.
see with this many dimensions of different resistances and rebounds and whatnot, you could tune a lot of unique little things. Like how it feels when I run my back truck backwards or drastically different bushings right where I want em. So you could, say, make it so it snaps back in the front horizontally very hard, yet every other pivot point of the turn could be soft.
I think you could even isolate each of the two+ rods and a bushing seat to be their own independently tilting axle if you wanted. (only working in 0 degree unless using tank tracks) Not enough room between them for any big wheels however. Would need scaled lengthwise unreasonably… Sounds like the awesome kind of suspension truck you would need to shred thane wheels off road though!!!
I’m fully on board with these now lmao. So like. My rkp or a weird ol tkp has 2 bushings. I run, back end so complicated it’d need a whole post back end backwards mounted near zero angle tkp, hard af torqueboards stock dark purple barrel bearing “roadside,” orange orang barrel boardside. Front end, orange orang cone boardside, green probably krank cone, both tip to road. With dkp or airs id get twice as many options or so for little feel tweaks. With this you get exponentially more. applauds foster youd love my best friend im tryna force onto here.
Trucks are the most interesting and tunable part of this. A deck is done when its done. A battery is the same. All the electric parts serve to make board go. Trucks are where you make it YOUR ride.
Now I am thinking about a tiller style 0 degree pivot cup bushing pivots. @Kai it would not be better comfort to no pivots but better than rods and for sure lighter. Easier to source the BOM them also I think.
Lol with 2 pivot cups you could ride with no steering bushings! NKP style.
Thats some funky motion right there. Carve into a turn, with the right bushings you might be able to just lift your foot and it self corrects o.o but thats an ideal lol
I think you need to read the thread more and keep your posts condensed down so future readers don’t need to work so hard. I talked about how this design started as a o degree variation on the NKP idea, making it like a channel truck, allowing channel truck bushings. Then the idea is it is made easy to extend longer in parallel to fit whatever needs.
Yes a whole part of this design is that you can swap any part out to be bigger or smaller and I can make a version with 8mm rod ends/axle instead as a challenge to make the smallest/lightest rod end truck I can. If you make a more advanced CNC baseplate you could use a regular ball pivot without a rod end like found in some downhill trucks.
no problem with your level of input but overkill on the posts per whatever.
yep it is funny I am designing something very similar looking as to that and you just so happen to work with them! You could prob take one of those apart and make two of these truck! How about that!! Cool!
hopefully you can get the idea even if the design looks a big different now.
Wonder if anyone would want me to makethese bushings fit they seem dope. Could easily stack them in a much much smaller space, lengthwise at least compared to all other options.
Cool!
