I’m thinking of using Boardnamics New Caliber II Hangers and Base Plate. I’ve only owned a Trampa board though so I’m wondering do I go 184 or 220?
The popcoa wheels on topclouds photo seem to be on a 180mm caliber truck. Do you think that looks good enough for you? Just remembered as the hanger gets longer your ability to maneuver/turn decreases (I think?).
i think if the wheelbase is relatively short theres somewhat smaller impact with wider hangars, but dont quote me on that ^^
and those boards look sick, good purchase there guys
You’re probably right, I just remember @DerelictRobot and @mmaner and stupid Cory telling me that going elofty hanger width on my Spud was a terrible choice 🤷
I’m sure it’s up the rider, really
We make the deck for standard wide truck 180mm. Is meant to be sleek so wheel stay inside deck space and look nice. It help for stability also.
I would go for 184; the axles are extended so you can still use push-fit pulleys and should have room for dual 6355, depending on the motor brand. Play to this board’s strengths; keep the weight down
Yeah I’m pretty sold on the 184s
I have a feeling that those 184 will run out quickly
I’m gonna put Paris V3s on mine with the Neo Hubs… undecided on ESCs
What ESCs are you considering? I feel like the Unity is overqualified for the neo hubs. But what do I know. It’s just so damn easy to hook up and go.
I want to consider the MakerX Dual. I’m holding out for more reviews
Been thinking, can you ask for custom wire gauge in your hubs? 18AWG specifically?
Yeah I’ve been watching the latest developments on the maker x as well
Ive already got two of the makerx duals on their way… i might try the tiny little singles
What are your plans concerning the lid, once the build is done ?
Grip over it and forget it or keep it easy to open ?
I’d like to keep the board as stealthy as possible, but having to remove the grip each time i have to open the board sounds a bit annoying.
For sure. Look forward to seeing how that works out for ya
So with the vesc stowed away in the topside how does the heat affect it? I recently moved my focboxes topside on my Trampa emtb because of the heat in the bottom enclosure
18 is too small. We use 14.
You could do griptape over velcro so that you can take it off and put it on again. @Luke tried experimenting with that on his decks I think, don’t remember how it turned out.
