I couldn’t get fivestars smooshed together enough to sandwich these kenda 8x3" slicks I’ve got, I imagine you’ll need/be better off with spacing the hub halves rather than pinching the crap out of them, but tire stiffness might also have a lot to do with it.

Anyone seen these trucks in person? They did nice work putting these boards together it looks like. Integrated lights. Is that a DKP?

Admittedly, Metroboard is one of my favorite OTS brands right now. Lots of cool shit gooing on in there.
Not to mention i believe they predate Evolve and there may have been some sinister shit that went on there.

I like Metroboards. They worked with me when my battery crapped out on me. I also like the design of these builds.

Really nice to see design like this. Boosted and metro board are taking esk8 to the next level designing components specifically for it. Integrated software controlled lighting etc.
The DKP portion is very compact. Can’t tell how it pivots and what sort of bushings are involved with the hanger. May have a fixed press fit joint into the hanger.

The shape is based on those yes, it got improved with those ones as base idea. The baseplate sizes got redone aswell as the pivot.

I have a reasonably varied set of stereotypes of Eskate folks. When I meet you all in person, I’m frequently dead wrong, sometimes kinda right. Coin toss.
@kook, I can’t put you in a basket, even a wrong basket.

The straight-up, don’t fuck with me kind with a crazy bent that loves motorcycles, which describes most of my best mates actually.
