Yes it is, the 15A common port.
Iâm almost certain that whoever wrote those specs simply confused MBS with MTB.
CNC Forged⌠Clearly had no clue what they are writing about. Kinda sad.
Yeah I think youâre right, the other profile shot looks completely different. Interesting that they pretty much ripped off the Shockblocks though.
I have heard CNC forged in the way that itâs first forged, then CNCâd to spec. Maybe thatâs what they meant?
No way. It would be hard to believe even if this wasnât a cheap copy of Kaly.NYC and if the specs werenât full of bullshit.
18.9 Wh cells. Come on.
Maybe they use pouch cells or 26650 cells instead? Kinda weird but not impossible since thatâs what, a 5Ah cell? The enclosure looks kind of fat for a 12S4P.
Not doubting the BS, just trying to wrap my head around how these stats would ever make sense.
Okay, I admit I havenât considered going above 21700 and youâre right that it would make sense given the enclosure size. Itâs still weird. Iâll keep assuming the specs are rubbish until convinced otherwise.
those trucks look cast. it seems like on the left side they have the bubbles/imperfections from the casting process?
No, they are CNC forged! Havenât you read the specs?
They could be forged with the motor mount area being CNC but that doesnât make much sense. Also âmbsâ my ass
Well yeah, stands for âMy Back Sideâ
Never mind looked at the teaser vid, thereâs 21700s in there. Iâve got nothing
Itâs not that easy to tell that theyâre cast from some crappy images on their product page. Whatever youâre seeing could easily be paint/coating defects or any number of things
They probably are cast, but itâs technically possible that theyâre forged. Would be pretty unlikely at this price point I think though
Point is, itâs not that easy to tell unless you have them in person. I would bet that even if the hanger is cast, the baseplate (direct MBS copy) is CNC
Also, for the record, for something to be forged CNC, you can literally just have a crappy forging job, and then CNC the ends flat and drill holes and it could be âforged CNCâ
I mean, the bubbles on the left side are either a result of the casting process, or theyâre poorly finished. Either way itâs a bad look.
Yeah this is what I was saying here
You mean the small circles that are barely visible? could be anything
Are we forgetting that there are other forged truck hangers out there? Iâm not convinced until someone takes actually good pictures of it in person
At the end of the day, deciding between casting / forging / CNC is a big numbers game, especially at volume
Depending on what they have at their factory it might have been cheaper to do forged + cnc
Youâre right, it could be anything, which is why weâre
speculating
Just donât try to make it seem like the speculations are fact, âthey look likeâ is different than âthey could beâ
in this context itâs one in the same to me as no matter what I say we donât know what it is
If it looks like a duck and it quacks like a duck, it could be a goose. That things totally a knockoff kaly tho. I for one am more interested in the way the hanger seems to be bolted together, not welded, compared to mbs.
My bad attitude against Evan aside (sorry again bro @Evwan)
Yes that is an interesting thing. You only have a few options, one is to weld it, another is to bolt it, and the third is to make it in one piece
We all know how the FlexL trucks worked out, so I wonder if they found a better bolting solution,
If they hold up, and there are color options, this is clearly the better option. Im a sucker for aesthetic options.
