I appreciate it dude.
Really the thing is how great this board rides.
This deck and the matrix trucks is magical combo and I live it more every time I step on it.

So.
I have been wanting to try the 110s on the Haero since I first saw the skatekastle post on the Facebook.

But have been struggling to find an economical way to try.

But this seems decent.

You guys seen any one running thane on their carvers?

I’m going to try to tag the dude with the Flux build that he replaced the axles on the matrix trucks.

I wish I had much to say. But with wet weather and me moving I haven’t had time to ride it more than my first short test run.

And I don’t carve hard, I mostly just swerve lightly :joy:

Board felt fantastic though. Heavy at 17kgs. Like a tank. Tracks nice and controllable.

Yellow bushings front and orange in the back with no preload was a little to soft for me. So I tightened those up a tad. I might need to try a different mix of harnesses. Well see where I end up.

Metr log if interested

So as per usual a couple hiccups.

Yet another board that is too low.

What would Jesus do?

Do I slap some giant risers on here?
Do I move the trucks to the inner holes?
Do I shit can the whole idea?
Do I do a whole different build around these bearings?

Fuck a duck.

Do you have any riser/rubber pad? That’s low, but that’s the Haero’s specialty. Inner holes should raise it up a bit, but I thinks you’ll need more. Would be nice if the enclosure was at the same height as the hanger…

Yeah.
I think what I will try next is both moving it in and adding another of the regular MBS riser. I have one riser now on the outer position.
I wonder if that will be enough…

Hope so, anything beyond that probably isn’t worth it. Looks bangin’ though.

RAF, you’re a machine!

I love the commitment of a build based around a special set of bearings… :rofl:

Well.

I kind of think this might work.

A little scraping here and there I could live with.

It is raining today so I can’t go actually carve outside. But it looks promising

And I think it actually looks better with these wheels with the trucks in the inner position.

How you liking this setup?

On the fence on going a very similar route with spare parts lol. Trampa carver deck I have left over feels too bouncy with the matrix trucks and bindings and from riding the xl kaly deck for a while now.

Dude… unfortunately the set up ended up not working. I ran into an issue with the bearings. So I went back to the 8 inch tires.

What happened to the bearings?

One of the back wheels was wobbly. I took of off and the inner bearing had some play side to side.
Balls and clip(the thing that holds the ball not sure of name) were both there and in place.
As gravity is extra hard on me I decided to put the idea to bed.

Oh rip…you could do 6.3" tires if you want lower still
