Haha I actually wanted the ride height. This deck is pretty low on 110s and the eboosted enclosure won’t have a ton of clearance. I tend to hop the occasional curb and ride on shit streets so the extra 1/2” will be nice.
I feel ya on that. Just had a funny idea. So these are actually about 17mm higher in the current position. I could top mount the front truck and be only 2mm low in the rear. Nahhhhh
Could never. Particular AF too. all in the details
Hahaha ya he is @CiscoV owns no less than 13 of every esk8 part. When I need something I always check to see if he’s trying to sell one off first
Lmao it feels awesome when I can switch shit around without having to wait for them to arrive
That right there
@bwahl602, any issues with the threaded insert for kingpin on those? Does kingpin thread in smoothly?
Just received some and the insert looks a bit damaged (Straight out of the box) and kingpin bolt is pretty stiff to thread past the deformed part.
I have hit SZ up and will see what they say about it.
I will say kingpins that end at threads are not the greatest idea. It’s why most trucks have pressed bolts with extra long shoulders. Lot of repeated stress on the end of kingpin/beginning of baseplate. Not a place where u want threads. Just my 3 cents
I had a bit of a booger we area as well. It threads fine but definitely has some resistance about the depth yours does. Keeps it from falling out
Agreed @boardnamics. I’d prefer a captured lock nut position
And why put in an insert aswell
Because threads in aluminum sorta suck so they put helicoils in all their threads in hopes of increasing their useful life cycles
Yeah… Im not fond of that, prefer a good thread in aluminum then prob (with these forces rather not like you said)
its a restriction in the three piece design, theres no way they could have done bolt through.
Ideal no, availability is key.
Dudes. What are you doing for mounts and motors? You can fit dual 6374s on these 177s, correct?
Depends on the mounts. Im running some tiller plates but a press fit on the end would give a bit more room. Im running 6365, but I have 25mm of “spacer” on either side with the BN axles
Could you shoot me a picture. I would be using tiller mounts with the clamps
I have 149mm between plates. Enough for true 6374 cans. The maytech 6374s won’t fit
Awesome dude. Much appreciated.
