Better yet, offer an equally sized RKP truck as well, so people can do matching RKP rear TKP front :smiley:

That’s what I’m talking about

so… some precision slalom and downhill trucks have spherical bearings at kingpin (and/or pivot) to reduce slop / constrain the hanger rotation accurately

any consideration of this? discuss…?

The plan is one hanger and one base plate will be one unit. No reason they couldn’t be sold separately. :+1:t3: That said, only after testing goes well. :grimacing::ok_hand:t4:

I think this would be super cool to see in a production truck. The only way this is achieved currently is with aftermarket mods no?

@rosco, something like the liquid fyre?

Don’t trip poppys have them.
It’s something LDP and slalom riders do to bennetts

I did it on my LDP board. Seems good. Pretty easy but dremel and epoxy is ghetto.

No, but that looks cool too.
Kinda like the ronin queen pin (ish)

@Titoxd1000 is working on something along those lines I think

The one used in DTP seems a lot smaller.

All trucks that are interesting. Steering mechanisms for a board.

kinda a place to talk about that here, i would like a split off for any axle spherical pivot having truck.

Yeah that’s the plan. Have a concept for trucks similar to liquid fyre trucks with many improvements (imo) for esk8. Maybe we can have something for testing early next year.

I think 250mm hangers and 220mm hangers are a good place to start. How about two different options or baseplate angles? It would allow those of use who want to run TKPs on both ends a little added stability.

I’ve been running the standard surfrodz baseplates with mine, dewedged 5 degrees in the rear and it’s been awesome

I think another thing that would be cool is to use long bushings in the boardside position. This would allow for a little bit more movement and decrease the tuning radius.

With the use of a spacer, a standard height bushing could be used for those who want less motion.

You could even use a longer bolt to allow for the use of a long bushing in the roadside position. Could make for a carvy ride without the need for DKPs.

Tkps are pretty damn carvy even with just standard size bushings.

True. It just adds another level of adjustability without too much work. I really like DKPs unlike most people. I use Chamber Trucks and they use a tall bushing in the boardside position. I think it makes it feel carvier. If you want less carve then you can used a spacer and standard height bushing.
