Count me in too! I’m guessing all we would need after buything this is a baseplate for the hanger ?
Edit: and this has probably been ask to death but would just needs confirmation with this new doesn’t , would Standard Caliber 2 trucks work if dual 6355 is used ?
We are ready for almost right now but at the moment it’s bad time as you can see forums has slown down… About deliver time I can’t yet tell exactly but I wouldn’t expect longer than 1,5 month
About the price is not 100% decided but you can check previous post for some references as it will be somewhere in those brackets
Some update regarding prices and some surprise news
So we will be going to make a group buy sometime in September for this gear drive minimum quantity required is 20 kits.
Group buy prices would be 300€ gear drive + 100€ for the hanger (230mm or 240mm version)
Hanger by itself will be also available (230mm or 240mm) 100€
There is a possibility to get several kits right now but the price for the kit would be 450€
After 50 message request from many people like @Eboosted@Colson003@Deckoz and others, we finally tried to adapt our gear drive to SurfRodz hangers but the problem is not enough aluminium to mount it on. So after spending several days tinkering and etc and some messages from people talking about different baseplate compatible hanger we got idea to “clone” SurfRodz hanger geometry and make it wider same as FB230 (FB240) which would be compatible with selected SurfRodz baseplate, just one requirement we would need at least 20 people ordering this hanger, it would be compatible with our all TB218 style drives and all other motor mounts for caliber style hanger and etc
What price point are we looking at for the SR hangars btw? I’m just checking if my current magnum and canon bushings will be compatible with SR trucks, otherwise I’d be real interested in joining a GB for it
Damnit @kug3lis you keep making that hole in my wallet bigger and bigger lol but thank you really. I lean more on RKPs but others really like the TKPs for the carving so some things you could add in to consider(unless you already have )
Hey wait a minute. Given same dimensions, steel is stronger than titanium. Titanium is lighter, and has some other nice properties, but is a lot more expensive as well.
Are you perhaps saying that, in the form you want, commonly available alloys of titanium are stronger than commonly available alloys of steel?
This just means TB218’s choice of steel type was not optimal?
Yes, there are some steel types which can concur titanium in this case, but most of them are rusting and etc we decided that titanium will be good combination Plus titanium flexes but not bends
Price point not much differs then ordering big quantity
