Hey everyone, please suggest me a set of DKP or maybe RKP trucks and motor mounts for my new build. It’s a drop-through evolve deck.
I’ll be using evolve style pulleys and 6374 motors.
I was going to use the evolve DKPs, but they’re not $30 a set anymore, and they’re never in stock either 
Let me know your favorite choices!
hoyt rosa truck
Evolve DKP clones are avaliable from propulsion boards and ownboard.
Propulsion boards also sell RKP trucks. I haven’t tried them but they are almost certainly the better choice.
As a previous user suggested, hoyt rosas are probably the best trucks you can get, but they don’t come cheap.
Boardnamics also make good trucks, but I’ve heard he takes his time shipping them.
Eovan also make DKP trucks if you’re interested.
Acedeck make some TKP trucks.
Savage 1 trucks are also very good.
Imo:
For price go with propulsionboard DKP
For quality go with hoyt rosa
For something in the middle go for boardnamics or propulsionboard RKP
More info on ur build would make it easier to give advice tho.
Just get Hoyt Rosa trucks they’ll outperform evolve DKPs in almost every way.
Thanks!
I can’t see the need to spend $500 Hoyt Rosa trucks… I was planning on spending $30 
Do you know if the propulsion board and ownboard trucks have the same bushing height as the evolves?
It’s going to be an Evolve GTX deck, with evolve pulleys and caguama 85mm wheels. I also have some evolve AT wheels I’ll probably put on sometimes.
I’ll be running 6374s and DV6 Pro and on 12s4p.
I have propulsion ones and my sense is that they are rebranded Ownboard ones. I can’t find any difference from looking pictures of the ownboard ones.
They won’t be compatible with Evolve-style pulleys tho - they don’t have that 10mm shoulder for the pulley before the 8mm axle.
If they did have all the same dimensions as the Evolve then I don’t know why they would outperform evolves in almost every way or really any way.
Rosas have 10mm axles all the way out, no step to 8mm. This means that pulleys meant for a stepped axle will work, but you’ll have the change out the wheel bearings (and front pulley bearing if there is one) for 10mm ID bearings and add spacers to make sure no bearings are loaded sideways.
The Rosas will definitely outperform Evolve trucks when it comes to high speed stability, axle strength, and likely overall truck strength. Most other metrics are subjective, but the only metric I can think of where Evolve trucks may outperform Rosas is turning radius, which comes at a very large cost of stability loss.
Well looking at the Rosa’s they are not DKP so it’s fine to say RKP trucks will be more stable but that just comes with the territory - if it’s the DKP feel you want instead of stability you want then you aren’t looking for evolve-style trucks in the first place.
I will def grant you that they will be stronger - my banana’d 8mm axles are proof of that.
I’m okay with the stability and I want the turning radius.
I have two sets of evolve DKP trucks on different boards already.
What speed would you recommend maybe going to RKPs?
For me my RKP board is comfortable up to about 55kmh which is 35 freedom units per hour.
On my DKP I think it starts to get pretty squirrelly around 45kph (28mph).
I definately go faster than that but whenever I hit a stick or a low spot I get that “here come the wiggles” feeling so I try not to. I had one full-speed wipeout the first week after I switched to dkp and I don’t care to repeat it.
Alright thanks!
I’ll probably go with the propulsion DKPs.
same here
I have them and they are quite good, as far as DKPs go. Make sure you factor in the cost of new bushings, because the stock ones are quite frankly shit.
Good luck with the build.
What about b-one tkp’s? Still get snappy turning but more stability and everything will be interchangeable with evolve gear
I’ve actually never used tips before, not sure how i’d like them actually.
DKP trucks are dual TKP. with TKP you get more stability than DKP and more rebound/return to center than RKP, meaning you can run softer bushings than an RKP truck for more turning while retaining the “return to center” ability and therefore a bit more linear stability at speeds than DKP.
The guys I give a turn at my boards seem to get along with my tkp trucks and get comfortable with them quite quickly coming from dkp. You lose thar excessive rear end steer.
I’ll have to borrow someone’s TKP board and give it a try.
I’m not too concerned about stability with the DKPs, they’re pretty comfortable for me at speed.
