I’m planning to replace my AT board** and the part that stumps me is the trucks…what good options are there? Looking specifically for RKP in the 210mm to 250mm range
I’ve had my hands on a fair few trucks, and seen a fair few more, but nothing really does it for me…what else is there?
Caliber II: solid, but poor tolerances and far to narrow for beefy boards
TB218: good size and shape, but the mounts /never/ fit well
TB CNC: everything thing I’d want but damn are they costly pieces of kit
Boardnamics: as much as I like the design of the new precision stuff, I can’t do that surface finish…like I know that’s a really petty thing but you can see the machining marks and all the anodization just comes off [edit: the surface finish had been improved]
Janux: really nice designs but limited to the trucks and still a pretty penny
SR: …I know some people swear by these, but why couldn’t they just make them a normal shape, and the mounts for them are a whole process and a half
Kahua: a bit wide for me, but what confuses me is do the mounts actually stay where they belong?
What else is there?

If you’re interested in taking it from me, all in decent to good condition, will sell it off in a bit…$799 and I cover fees and US shipping?
Just quit now that’s the all the market u.mentioned lol… I love the og janux.mounts for all my TB trucks…and the idlers BUT the idlers if I run 1 per side vs 2…the single idler always needs to be re tensioned every ride…
BN if you slightly over torque the idlers on the newer version the bearing wont spin and that’s a quick friction death to your belt…
Slide tensioning? Lame!
Hpw about some.fukn 8" wheel accomodation?? Am I right here?
The ATC on blow out right now are tempting but what’s left? Right?
Can someone verify my insanity? I’m debating between Haggy all terrain kit ($680) and the TorqueBoards all terrain kit ($740), so from a price perspective the Haggy kit is in the lead…but when you buy all the parts of the TB kit it’s actually cheaper!? I am like 95% sure it’s supposed to be the other way around, I mean it’s literally in the bundles tab. If you do the same thing with Haggy, you reach the bundle price with just motors, wheels, and trucks (no pulleys, belts, or hardware)
Trucks - $65
Mounts - $120
Crossbar - $35
Motors - $240
Motor pulleys - $35
Wheels (with wheel pulley and belts) - $150
Accessories kit - $8
Total comes to a measly $655…what am I missing here?
Sandblast and hard anodization? Also the 220s that run the pre-installed nut style axles measure 320mm total width right? And the mounts use radial hole pattern instead of slots?
The surface finish is wire brushed with anodize. The machining marks are gone and the whole part feels smoother than before. There is a heavier chamfer
Radical pattern yes. The axles are 50mm so total length is 320mm
Oh that is beautiful…I might have to get some. Do you have bushings other than 93a KranK barrels?
Should work with TB160 wheels and 6380 motors right? As far as I can tell they will run slightly wider than the 218s, and they do those wheels and motors from what I read
