What’s the cutoff before it becomes hardware? Anything above 100A duro maybe?

We love you Brad.
Please do this.

Sorry if this is too stupid, or already been discussed;
Can the single piece bushing brace around the kingpin, or even better support the hangar almost completely, and help reduce the wear of the infamous kingpin nylon spacers? Almost as if the kingpin will remain only to maintain the rotation axis and prevent the hanger from falling off?
Could this also create a minor but maybe useful “PKP” effect where the connection between the hangar and the baseplate is handled by the soft urethane bushing?
I’m thinking, I liked the PKP feeling on rough terrain, I liked it a lot, but I didn’t like the wider turning radius, I think channel trucks can move more

Nah, there’s an intermediate stage of being firmware before that

How’s your project going? I was excited to have them one day on my esk8 but you haven’t updated for a while 
This is not dead, just hibernating…the beast will reawaken soon!

hibernating… kinda like going into the Matrix? III
Hey @RipTideSports is this project still hibernating, or possible that we might see it wake up for matrix iii or other trucks?

Unfortunately, a Singularity truck needs to be designed from the ground up. Adapting an existing design has proven to be impractical.

Hmmmm. Sounds like an interesting project. Maybe I can take a crack at it.

I purposely avoid designing trucks due to the inherent conflict of interest but I am happy to assist others in design concepts and brainstorming new trucks. RipTide does not plan to make trucks.
Here is an amazing truck that I have ridden extensively that is designed around a single bushing but was too complex for prime time and manufacturability. https://www.peterverdone.com/the-pvd-r3-slalom-truck/
