So 449 AUD / 299 USD for just the trucks without motor mounts.
I’ve added the ability to see the pricing with drop downs on the website. It lets you add to cart but there won’t be any shipping options because I made them weigh 99kg… Just in case anyone is confused when trying to checkout. #justshopifythings
Wow, so the bushing seat is split – board-side bushing is closer to the hanger for reduced play, and road-side bushing is higher up for clearance. That’s awesome!
Correct 33mm narrower. Bearing to bearing is 237mm. As narrow as possible while still fitting 6485 motors. I’ll take long wheelbase and narrow trucks over wide and short any day for street wheels. Wide trucks are just so boaty and gross on street wheels (admittedly less noticeable with pneumatic).
The mounting holes are quite far inward by default on the switchblade so with a redrill you’d have enough clearance for 6in.
I should also mention that I ripped this hangar off one of the prototype Radium boards and its width is currently 230mm with those axles. The test fitment was done with a 60 degree baseplate (3D printed). 30 degree rear has better clearance. Motor clearance from deck is also looking quite good.
The axles actually start off at 12mm diameter so there is a bit of scope to vary the hangar width just with different axles (motor mounts are fixed position however). But I could go down to like 222mm and up to around 248mm depending on what 3DS drives would actually fit… @3DServisas
Looks like we will also need to revise the hangar width to 233mm instead of 237mm due to a recent change with something on the Radium board. Let me know if there are any objections to that so I can judge you for not wanting narrower trucks!
They can all be adapter and made to work, and i am sure @3DServisas could make something custom too like they did for Magnetic. The only issue i see here is motor fitment, gear drives take up more space on the hanger and i dont know if 230ish mm hangers would give enough clearnace for 2 6485 motors
For example if motors are to be mounted outwards my 295mm hanger only has 21mm of space between the baseplate and motor can.
If mounted inwards the can to can distance is 66mm. This option could work for a hanger thats in the 230-240mm rnage
I run fs6384s on 220s with bnm1s, think theres 4-5mm of space between motors. So depending how much hanger space the 3ds drives take up, 230mm(ish) should be doable
Okay you just earned a customer sir Let me go count my monies…
And get Bioboards to tell me what size their gear drive clamp is lol
Although I wonder if the ‘bearing as an idler right next to the motor pulley’ trick would work on a 12T pinion (Edit: I think a standard skate bearing might even work with the 44mm mounting pattern, damn)
Their gear drive from what i can tell doesnt have a clamp - its sized for their RKP hanger which has a built in mounting pattern, kinda like OEM DKP trucks with their built in motor mounting bolt pattern. Ive got one coming in the next few days so ill reverse engineer the required clamp adapter if you need one, just gotta find someone willing to make a handful of them lol.
Going to start with this but I’ll test each one out before shipping and may make some adjustments based on that. This is an educated guess from the bushings I have in my board right now.
