I wonder if thereās any advantage to mixing duros on the same truck like with Airs. Would be cool to see a tuning thread dedicated to these.

Definitely want to try. Open to suggestions about combos, but my intuition tells me harder duro boardside with softer roadside might help reduce the twitching in the back.
Only complaint I have, carving on these is making me fall in love with eskating all over againā¦ canāt believe itās almost been a year since I set foot on a board!

So with Airs, I run the exact opposite, softer board side and harder road side. The soft bushings between the deck and trucks dampen a lot of vibration and the harder bushings road side help with stability. Using the search function on here doesnāt show much about these trucks so Iām curious to see what combo you end up settling on. Will be joining you in experimenting with these in a month or so, ordered 320mm hangers with 53mm axles.

Went back to my hometown for a few days of vacation, had the chance to test a bit more (no bushing changes since I forgot them 
)
- Identified the remote issue: Progress log in its own thread
- Increased bushing preload in rear truck: Still need to test the harder duro, but noticeable improvement in stability. Iām loving these more and more with each km.
- Locking mechanisms: Theyāve survived the weekend with a few last minute prints and quick fixes I made before leaving. Will add them to the final design once Iām back.
Starting to feel confident, will push it offroad soon

Are the trucks on the same angles?
If not it may be worth considering a wedge in the back.

Yeah, theyāre about 35deg each. I say about because itās very difficult to make them 100% accurately with my mold. Iāll consider if the bushings donāt fully solve it, but had bad experiences in the past (bent screws, holes becoming oversized with timeā¦) and would like to avoid them if possible

See if you can get these in Europe maybe.
I think they would alleviate some of your concerns.
Do you have a video on these somewhere Joel @MBS
They are not just your average angled rider rightā¦

No video yet, but we need one. Iāve put it on āthe listā.
