I see. Makes sense if you’ve got a pair of xl’s, for me I would rather try 5stars and not have to sown more money
Could you
Drop the link to the exact ones you used?

[wpt_board]

Exact tires? These are the exact snowblower ones I have & hope to try this weekend but haven’t taken them out yet. There’s a lot of other listings for the same model tires tho - pretty widespread.

My T2 tires are official MBS ones but there’s generics of them too on aliexpress.

[Dnollie]

Thanks. Do you think trying the rhombus tread would be worth a shot?

[wpt_board]

I already have a set of 200x70 MBS/CST explorer tires, which do well on firmer&flatter types of terran & those rhombus ones seem like they would be similar to them, just bigger diameter.

For these big tires I’m looking at mud/snow usage so knobby is what I’m looking for but if you want more contact area less knobby could be good.

[unknownuser]

This tread will prob be far worse for actual offroading. The MBS explorers are trash at that too.

[unknownuser]

Worth noting though that the knobbies are TERRIBLE on street, so wouldn’t recommend if ur going for a hybrid build

[Dnollie]

That’s good to know… definitely a lot of street in my riding.

[Dnollie]

Thanks for the input. Keep me updated this weekend

[unknownuser]

Actually I wouldn’t recommend either variant for street, the tires are super super unbalanced. Ideally you have street and offroad tires that u can hot swap.

[wpt_board]

I would imagine you’d be mostly past getting any notable benefits for general street riding on a tire that big in diameter anyway. For wide open really rough streets could be fun though.

[unknownuser]

True, if he really wants the diameter go kart tires are the better play

[wpt_board]

Yeah I’m looking forward to trying different types of 6 inch kart wheels on the @jack.luis adapters but I don’t think I’ll be taking them out for general street riding amongst traffic since I’ll be approaching or over a two foot wide track width ha

[Dnollie]

I’m limited to five-star hubs right now.
But I do have a nice Bambu 3dprinter.

[US] Go Kart Hubs for Esk8

Hi all, Go kart tires are starting to catch on in the esk8 racing scene. Like it or hate it, I wanna try it, and currently the only way to do so is by having Stooge make you a custom 5/8” axle for your 3-links and modifying an off the shelf go kart hub to mount to his gears. I wanted something with maximum compatibility with existing esk8 trucks, drive patterns, standards, and go kart wheels, so anybody can use these tires to “ruin esk8 wheel to wheel racing forever” -@Evwan Enter: GK…

[Dnollie]

Thanks for the link, although It’s more a budget restraint than anything else.

@alankerr how many running boards do you have on this fine January?

Pictures and Nothing Else!

[alankerr]

Today, I only have 2. The new prototipo race board I’m building (Woke) and the red Mountainboard (Hot Rod Lincoln).

The esk8 crew in Boston is growing a bit and inspired me to build again. I’m a super rusty rider at the moment so I need much practice.

Boston crew rides fast 35mph+. Hope carving on a track with “Woke” will wake me up to esk8 fun again. lol. My EUCs outnumber the four wheelers so my time has to be shared amongst my besties.

The flux was donated to my son. It got an upgrade.

[rafaelinmissouri]

What EUCs do you have?

And 35+ is so gnarly…

I would not be able to hang at all…

[alankerr]

Too many. A Begode Extreme, a Sherman L and an Leaperkim Oryx. In addition to a small A2 to learn tricks on. So 6 total PEVs currently… but that P6 is looking good right bout now… Retirement is rough. Hahaha

[rafaelinmissouri]

I have never ridden a big big EUC.

The Lynx is the largest I have tried.

I definitely with I had 5k laying around.

I’d get a P6 right meow… and an Aeon…

I bet I would still only be able to go like 35 on the P6…
