Wow, that seems really short… but i’m not well versed in the science.

I would humbly request the hangers be designed to be compatible with surfrodz tkp baseplates, perhaps with a hexagonal profile for existing surfrodz mounts.

Very nice!

They will be compatible with surfrodz baseplates.
But definitely NOT compatible with the old hex Surfrodz bullshit.
Probably a 22mm square end profile???

Wow these look really cool! I’ve never gotten the chance to ride TKP trucks before, so I’m not sure if I’d be the right person to give you feedback on them, but I would love to try TKP someday.
Maybe @b264 would be willing to try them out
Are you planning to make TKP baseplates with them or are you just going to make them use the Surfrodz ones?
Good idea!

I’m not the biggest fan of the divey steering on TKP. Some folks really dig it though 
Looks super cool!

22mm square pattern good.

It is hard to tell from the rendering but it appears the king pin axis is perpendicular to the pivot axis. Is it?
You might want to get a bushing / pivot guy involved before you cut metal.

I mean, I came here to ask/see what kinda geometry it was going to be exactly also about modular hangers/axles and all that jazz.
From the look of that back edge the pivot could be pointing to the center of the kingpin bushings.
Dang where are my technical references…

I think you should make these compatible with Boardnamics 10mm extended axles. Maker X made the mistake of short axles on his TKP’s which limits it to few wheel options. 10mm extended axles are the way. These trucks look 
though.

Also all Surf-Rodz
that is 14.2mm/.56in of M6 thread.
oh shit you were talking about the 270 10mm axles…
I don’t think that is right
have no idea how to make a good end condition for this thread

This should be what you need to use them.

+1, this is a must read for anyone designing new TKP trucks. It shows how good TKP trucks differ from the rest by having the pivot angle correct, and also explains how TKP trucks work; i.e. – why they can lean so much further than regular trucks.

Those look sweet man.

Thanks Brad! I’ll take whatever advice you can provide 
So, the pivot axis is at a 30 degree angle to king pin axis, not perpendicular.

That does look semi-perpendicular to the way it usually is oriented. They often point closer to “up”.
Typically the pivot is pressed into the cup, not rotating in it like a bearing.
