There is a set of adapters for both the Linnpower Evo and Acedeck NYX non-suspension trucks that allow you to use Lacroix bushings. A singularity that is designed to replace Lacroix bushings would be amazing!
A singularity design is dependent wholly on how a particular truck acts on the bushings. I wish it could be a direct replacement for any truck using the Lacroix design but it is not that easy. I am making a 3rd shape to function in the MBS lll that will respond like our Chubby.
We have a 4th shape to make for the Matrix III. The shapes translate well to the response of a Cone, Barrel, FatCone and a Chubby for RKP trucks so you can mix and match, depending on what you want to do. Really stoked on how these are feeling!
You looking for a crash test dummy? I’m pretty disappointed with how my m3s feel. I’ve been spoiled rotten
Yes we are!
Are you volunteering?
I’ll volunteer ![]()
I can volunteer, I just don’t put a crazy amount of mileage on that board
Id probably ride it much more if it could turn ![]()
I never liked the Matrix III, as much as I did Matrix II with Riptides.
I retired my first set of M3s because of 3 links.
And I’m retiring my second set for Dualitys.
It would be cool Brad @RipTideSports if you all can save the Matrix III from a life on the shelf…
@Evwan, @rafaelinmissouri, @Jaws, please email me details of your setups, weight, riding terrain and style to brad@riptidesports.com The kit will contain 4 different bushing shapes, two preload plates and 2 shortened preload screws
I finally got an email out.
I have been running the M3S with 10mm axles so I could experience channels and urethane wheels.
It’s really fun.
It was way wild on the Akashas.
We are shipping out a couple of Matrix III kits consisting of 2 preload plates, 4 preload screws and 4 bushing shapes in KranK 90a and 93a. With the 4 shapes so you will have 6 asymmetrical combinations to try. Shape A, B, C, and D so listed front / back, combinations as A/B, A/C, A/D, B/C, B/D and C/D. More to come.
I think @Pecos might be interested in trying those out. ![]()
This is awesome, lmk if you want another tester - though my mileage doesn’t really start adding up until temps get into the 50s… cause im cold
I can also volunteer. ![]()
For the Matrix III testers, here is setup info.
Disassemble the truck and replace preload pins with kit pins and set to flush with the preload plate.
Reposition stock bushing guards:
Insert bushing between bushing guards:
Reassemble truck holding the preload plate in place to prevent dropping out and preload once truck is assembled, you can visually see if the preload is even by looking at the plate position:
To disassemble, back out the preload pins to relieve pressure on the kingpin.
4 shapes sent smallest is A to largest D.
Set the board up with a smaller in front than the rear so you have 6 combinations to experiment with: AB, AC, AD, BC, BD, CD
Just installed an A/C setup on the board. Initial impressions are interesting after a ride, but I’m not sure how much Brad wants me to share in public while they’re in testing
I think I would like to compile results from several points of reference privately as we are guessing the appropriate duro and if need be, we will send out harder or softer sets to suit until we can more accurately predict the response of different setups. I have only tested on an unpowered board so the dynamics are different.
Are the baseplate bushings guards supposed to be in the inner position?
Also the little green bushings just blew my mind.
This is so different than I had envisioned…
I pictured two of the regular bushings melded together…
I would at least like to see what your board set up is and what they look like in there.
Install seems super straightforward… So I’m guessing you didn’t have any issues?
Also what stock bushing set up did you have before the experiment?
