Maybe take a look at this
I have been talking to him on email and he is making loads of custom stuff - he is living Taiwan atm so it would mean overseas shipping. But he does supply drawings of the Wheel pulley so you can make your own

You can get torque board trucks + motor + mounts with trampa super star tires with board bumper conversion kit save you some money…
On sickboards.nl surf rodz excluding kingpin bolt and axles - which you can use an M8 shoulder bolt. Costs £122
Im in the UK so import fees = nope
if ur not 100% committed to this build yet i would consider Kug3lis or Jens drive system, especially for tht kind of cash. as for the motors APS is the way to go when ur not in the states (IMO)
i would skip out on the airless tires as there is numerous post here about the centrifugal force while riding causing those tires to separate from the rim
No 3d printer
The brutus setup looks like a possibility. 880$ and it should come with all the wheels and trucks too, this is more what i was looking for for sure. Thanks for the recommendation, I’ll seriously consider this!
This and 3dhubs for printing or get help from someone here. That’s got to be the least expensive option available at the moment.
can you explain more about that kit, I have all the other tb components
Ill ask him about the import fees though*
The Trampa hubs and bearings are too big for standard trucks. board bumper sells a spacer that will allow them to run on standard trucks
TB218 + four 6x2 tires + two vex robotics versa pulley + two 3Dprinted adapter going to cost you ~ $100. Including shipping Setup would be something like this
Hey @moon I’ve been doing some kingpin research, my calipers say the smooth part of the bolt needs to be 9.2mm diameter for a smooth slop-free fitment, yet the axle bolts on AliExpress have the smooth part at 10mm which of course is what is wanted for the axles.
Can anyone confirm aftermarket bolt fitment? Grade 8 I know
Also length recommendations with riptide bushings?
I don’t even have a set of caliber trucks anymore to check. Sorry.
Alrighty, thanks, maybe edit post #6 above to avoid any future
10mm smooth part of the bolt will not slide through the kingpin hole in the baseplate, on a good days the max there is 9.5mm at the very most, but suspect 9.2mm.
So far I am stuck with going back to sickboards for genuine kingpin bolts.
I appreciate the info. on the aftermarket bolts, they should work and are super cheaper
@mmaner thanks we are talking about SR parts, fark it I’ll head off here again
