I think its pretty cool that they went even that one extra step on that one little stat. I know in actuality it probably isn’t much better, stat wise, but if they know that matters and acknowledge it thats still a first ive seen and a plus.

I just watched this short review, and wow it is so cool watching the suspension work
It just looks so planted and predictable

Ahah
We have a similar mindset for sure
I looked at it and concluded they are using the same principle as the channel trucks
Turning is due to the angle of the front and rear brackets (Am I clear?)

does 12s5p seem abit underpowered?
Maybe on par with a pre-build.
Maybe I’m just use to all the monster batteries our battery builders have been showing off ;p

This is what it is lol - 12s5p is a perfectly respectable battery
I can tell you there are basically no boards with a battery that size at that price point

im also factoring this is a ‘heavy off road’ board which usually has terrible wh/km

Yeah I mean my guess is maybe 15 miles of hard offroad, but that’s still not too bad for the price

looks like the base of the suspension truck is actually closely designed together with the main deck body. So in the example prices for the old model only the lower will be available or practical to work with given odd mounting if the entire end assembly does separate and is sold like that.

@Fosterqc over here like “give me the suspension and nobody gets hurt”
Meanwhile I just want that x4s deck with its crazy concave wings.

Not enough close-up shots on the suspension-steering mechanism! Wanna copy the system or fabricate something similar for my next diy.

you would make it on the Matrix II baseplate as a staring design right? That is what I would do.

Group buy on one to part out? LOL

I said earlier how the suspension base and deck are combined and tightly integrated so idk how you think that would work.
Cheap enough to buy yourself too

every deck i have is hard to work with i am a stubborn fool.
Also was kidding xD been slowly acquiring a private list of deck cloners >.>
The suspensions really cool though, the whole thing is. And they’re relatively local to me… Honestly ill probably end up grabbing one eventually.

What we did at Propel, in an effort to be fully transparent and not just post the very max a light guy can go on flat terrain,…going slow,…We want to do things differently,…we show the actual combined results of rides on real terrain by 2 different size people. If you put a 125 lb guy on it and send him on flat terrain going 10 miles an hour, you’ll get more than 70km.
So if you go look at the specs on the site, you’ll see that there are 2 weights listed
65kg rider-71km
100kg rider-50km
