Sweet! Shipping in September. Will take a little bit for axles to be heat treated and custom pivot tube molds to be made.

Feels good if only we could convert erections to sales. Maybe its time to start a Radium onlyfans.
First post on there would be this:
Same trucks btw just different mounting.

So unfortunately I misread the market. We thought the first Radium trucks would be more sought after but we’ve only had 3 pre-orders and need at least 10 to go ahead…
Our options are to cancel, or move the delivery date back by another month to October so that we have more time to get pre-orders and can get double the quantity of hangars and motor mounts to be made as we’ll need them for the first batch of Mach 1 boards, so potentially that could save some cost that we may only need 8 or so pre-orders to go ahead.
So if you want to experience these trucks then please pre-order this month. If by the end of the month we don’t have enough then the R6 trucks will be canceled and we will provide a full refund and apology to everybody who placed an order.
For those who have already ordered and don’t want to wait till October I understand, PM me and I will provide a full refund.

C’mon people! This dual kingpin design is genius for eliminating side to side play! And tall bushings on a narrow truck is huge! (Gives you more lean, which means tighter turning radius without any other sacrifices!) And yet the wheelbase is long enough for even Switchblade decks. Buy buy buy, let’s make it happen!

This has to happen… I fully expected more frothing about these and didnt worry about the initial preorder… now i have some massive FOMO that they wont be brought into existence

Let’s talk about belts.
Over the past 6 months we’ve been testing lots and lots of different timing belts with the premise that a superior belt must exist which could handle the abuse we put our boards through.
With 245kv Radium motors running 160 phase amps through 14T pulleys on our prototype board XP1 we had ourselves a belt murdering machine capable of destroying a set of genuine Gates belts in just a matter of minutes while power sliding on tarmac.
This presented a problem as well as an opportunity. I didn’t want to use wider belts or move away from belts altogether, and we found ourselves with a setup that could tell us just how good a belt is in a very short time frame.
Finally 6 months and way more money than I’d like to admit later we have what we were looking for.
A belt that is significantly more durable than anything else we’ve tested and holds up to our abuse.
These belts are almost unphased by gravel with teeth that still look new after weeks of power sliding on powdery trails where rubber belts would normally fray apart or snap from tooth wear and shock loads.
Funnily we found the answer for eskate wheels was to make them out of rubber instead of polyurethane, and for timing belts we discovered the exact opposite. Instead of rubber the wonder material for belts is polyurethane.
Polyurethane is tougher and much harder wearing than rubber. Rocks that would normally tear up the teeth of rubber belts don’t even make a scratch on polyurethane. Add that in with the fact that they’re overall stiffer meaning more direct power transfer and lower tooth deflection under load, and you have the answer for belt drives to keep up with the ever increasing performance of electric skateboards.
These belts will come standard with the Mach One, and given that the R6 trucks are the same as whats on that board, it would make sense to stock the sizes of polyurethane belts that suit our trucks.
What we don’t know, is what size pulleys and wheels you guys will be running with our trucks. So if you’re interested in making the switch to our polyurethane belts please let us know either what length you need (R6 center distance is 111mm, 8mm travel) or what size pulleys you will be running, and we will try to have them available before the R6 trucks ship.
- 15-380mm - Mach One size (16/45T 125mm wheels)
- 15-470mm - Matrix 3 mount size (for 16-20/78T)

NOTE the Radium Matrix 3 mounts are 104mm center distance while the R6 mounts are 111mm.

Nice, 380mm will work well for the stupid setup I want to try

That does look stupid… I approve!

Ok so in terms of belts I just ended up getting 470, 435 and 380mm lengths made up, so hopefully those end up being popular and we can then start to expand the amount of sizes stocked on the website in future.
Some people have asked about carving on the R6 trucks, so here’s a quick video I took on my phone of Dylan carving on one of our prototype boards at low speed:

Wow, plenty of steer! What top speed did you (or Dylan) get it up to on that setup?
1 Like
Top speed wasn’t tested. Dylan is 20kg lighter than me so front bushing duro dropped accordingly. Should be stable to at least 60kph on that setup.
Here’s a better video showing manoeuvrability taken with the insta 360:

XP3 has a later version of the R6 trucks with better bushing seat geometry than XP1 in the videos above.
We were experimenting a little with the bushing setup and ended up with a very strong center but still great maneuverability as shown below. This setup felt really stable, I wouldn’t be surprised if I felt comfortable at 70kph / 45mph as it is.

I’d love to buy a set of 375
