How do they carve compared to the stock DKP’s?

I hit 33 miles which is ok in a straight line but fast and sometimes sketchy while tight cornering.
These trucks over exceed my expectations .
Waiting for Phil to make some adapters so i can use my BN helical drive on it and a bit longer axles to accommodate my wide hubs . :pray: :pray: :pray:
next to get of the griptape and replace it with something from goat splatterhouse or some dopegriptape.
Getting rid of the childish anti sink plates too maybe replace that with some from radium.
@lifeofmanyhobbies these trucks cant be compared to the stock trucks . its like comparing Lamborghini to Honda civic.
Having said that it also comes done to personal preference, riding style and mostly experience but hey its just a thought :smiley:

I have ridden the Chamber Trucks which use a similar design. TKPs carve better at medium to higher speeds than DKPs. They are more predictable and how tight you want your turn to be is easier to control. TKPs feel less vague and can carve about 90% as tight as DKPs when set up right. They also rebound to center much better making the transition from turn to turn easier.

They are close! :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

@Luke, I agree that would look even better, but mounting a drivetrain would be more cumbersome😬. Thanks for the kind words.

These trucks raced well at ESKCON Las Vegas.

Wow, any chance you know what that hub/tire combo be? Is grogeois

How much for the precision riser blocks?

What is that, 20mm? I’ll take 3

Ergh… i need to get these on something quick. So keen to try them :eggplant::eggplant::eggplant:

Thanks Phil! They look and feel amazing!

Billiam will be back from the dead shortly :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

As soon as I saw these on Phil’s instagram I just had to get my hands on a set. Will definitely be buying more because these are absolute quality made right here in the USA. I’ve had my set for a few weeks now but the weather finally started to get nice yesterday and I took a quick rip through the Central Park loop and they did not disappoint. After Phil suggested I do another 1/4 turn on the kingpin bolt they ride perfect. Stable at 30 mph, although I have no business going that fast here in nyc right after winter and the roads are full of holes. Thank you @Savage1 for making these, absolute works of art and engineering!








Im using the 36T kegel pulleys with TB 110 wheels and as you can see I have had to move the motor position all the way back with 305mm belts. Phil is sending me some 42T pulleys so that I get more torque with the 110s and a more reasonable top speed. I’m suspecting the 305mm or 310mm belts will fit better with the 42T pulley with a more centered motor position. I’ll update on that once I get them.

The only criticism that I can note is that I’d like to get a pulley with a wider contact area, like 18mm and the mounts have a slight amount of play due to how the motor brackets mount to the trucks, although that can be remedied with some compound like blue loctite around the hexagon that the bracket mounts to. It also does not affect performance at all. The design is genius because you can mount the motors at any angle you like. A full 360 degree articulation for the mounts is great and no other truck system has that!

:grimacing: slight bit of play can lead to damage over time in vibration-intense environments. Maybe some small metal shims can help. Or threadlocker, as you mentioned. But probably the green one, which is meant for such scenarios.

That wouldnt work. Its a tolerance issue that only some sort of compound could resolve in my case. might be limited to my set since it was one of the first ones. its so slight that it may be the anodizing that was shaved off for initial fitment.

Mine don’t have any play. After some exposure to the pulling force from the motors, the clamp is firmly locked to the hanger. I can’t even take it off anymore (fortunately I don’t need to).

Even when installing it I didn’t notice any play though.

yea, my clamps with the octogon shape inside have a slight play. i think its because of the anodize that was shaved off for whatever reason. still not a big deal for me and its the first batch.

Maybe a machined Duffman style spacer for front trucks?

Like these (sort of) Spacer Frontruck - E-Toxx-Shop

Just this bit, as a spacer?

Lots of work and cost for aesthetics (only) on a really small part, but a smooth chamfer at ends like @Bavioze sketched looked amazing.

(Actually looking at the shoulder length on the octagonal part, it might not work well with a chamfer - ignore this :joy:)
