If someone could make a metal pulley for six shooters that’d be great

This should be in the spec list on the site.

If I know anything about the quality of TBs products, I wouldn’t doubt these wheels at all.

I may be ordering a set of these for another build I have in mind but first need to buy bigger motors from him. @torqueboards the 6355 just don’t push my big Viking self as fast as I want to go.

My six shooters are rock solid, if you get them, let me know, I found a great place to buy tubes for pretty cheap for them.

What about These odd tires?
How would you make pulleys for them?

I’m thinking about buying haggies with the kahua trucks.

The tires were already posted above

Actually that ebay link above is a pretty good deal, you can just select the tire or a tire/tube combo. The source I found for tubes was only about 40-50 cents cheaper.

I dont think the problem is making them as much as it is someone paying for them…

Been playing with the 6X2 tire @psychotiller uses. It has a very heavy made sidewall and case construction. Grip wise its predictable when In a hard turn and lets you know where the edge of grip is. This leaves room for turn recovery when breaking grip in a controlled slide while feathering the throttle. I put the tire on a wider wheel using 30mm x10 bearings. This flattened the foot print and reduced the diameter to 5.8". Balancing and truing is an issue I’ll be working next.
Will be using these on the air ride AT board being built this winter.

For sure. Thought there may be somewhere to get tires without tubes. The 4xTire and Tube combo comes out to around $51 shipped. I’d rather support @Psychotiller for 4 extra bucks plus I’m in Cali so I had them in a couple days.

@torqueboards
you should sell your wheels (hubs + tires+ tube) at the base price, and then have a dropdown “pulley addon” with the extra cost for the pulleys

Right now it’s not obvious the pulleys are included and seems like $200 just for the 4 wheels.
(Where as you can write it like $150 + $50 pulleys, etc)

I’m pretty sure a lot of people would pay a premium for those pulleys, because most people I know who own six shooters also own more than one set cause they’re so goddamned nice

The wheel matters less than the tire.

How come no one’s mentioned or uses trampaz?

Probably because they don’t fit regular skate truck axles.
