Finally Surfrodz RKP Motor Mounts " Pyschotiller Mounts "

[thisguyhere]

@lrdesigns

Anyone got better suggestions bearings?

psycho hooked up with 10mm bearings, hit em up.

also ordered some more from surfrodz directly and they also donated some with my latest order, very kind.

@i2oadsweepei2

Do psycho’s mount really come with 80mm axles?

yes, 80mm axles are included with the press-on mount

@mmaner

Don’t use the set screw to secure the axle, the tortion stresses from riding will scar the axle and make it hard to remove the axle. The forced removal will scar the inside of the hanger. Use loktite, your good to go.

great tip, so loctite on the axle itself then, got it.

IKR… fucking dope. And it is different. I was kind of unpsyched about building out the Lacroix, as I don’t want to use Trampa and I can’t find any Mattix pro 2 trucks.

Shit, this may be cooler anyway.

@Sender

It’s the reason i didn’t buy the board. Not a fan of the offroad trucks - seen too many fractures, etc and I know my fat ass will outright break them.

But some surfrodz on that deck…damn.

[Sender]

Inpushed it around the parking lot like that… and

A. It actually works

B. Felt so damn flowy!

I am trying to figure out what size battery to put in. It is really made for 10s6p, I think I could finagle 12s5p… 12s4p is an easy fit, but I think I want 6 p on 10s over 4 p on 12s if I can’t get 12s5p to work well. It fits, but the layout is a little funny.

Thank you. Dang that dudes got his sh*t together

Mine just came to the office. Didn’t have too many colors to choose from for 45, so pink and purple it is! Yeah I picked pink over orange. Really want red to gain 20% speed

[moon]

Are those shoulder bolts or ones from surfrodz?

I’m confused with the shoulder bolts, does that meant you have to remove the shoulderbolt just to take wheels off?

Edit- I didn’t know that surfrodz axles are basically just shoulder bolts

[Mikenopolis]

@moon yeah those are the bolts they sent me. Definitely need to remove the whole thing just to take off the wheel…I just realized I don’t have any 10mm spacers for between the wheel, let’s see if the spacers they provided is enough.

[Mikenopolis]

Here it is next to the TB 218s, I used @PatRocks 's recommended (from hanger) black | red | red | bearing | black | bearing | shoulder bolt. Now to loctite this down.

[Sender]

Guys, Surf Rodz is awesome.

I reached out and they are giving me the 30% off not only on a replacement hanger, but also on a set of 10mm TKPs 177mm and 10mm bearings!

They really didn’t have to do that, but they did. It’s like I got the hanger for free and bought a set of TKPs.

@psychotiller @mmaner

Thanks Mikaela!

[mmaner]

Ive never had a bad experience with SUrf Rodz and the product is awesome.

[Sender]

She said their stock 200mm 10mm hangers was destroyed… that is us for sure. Lol.

[akhlut]

Always happy to see more people join the surf rodz club! That’s some good news for small manufacturing for sure!

[deucesdown]

@PatRocks

waiting for the reversible mounts

Oh noes what have I done lol

Hey did everyone get 50 baseplates? 45? mix?

[thisguyhere]

45 for me

take stability over turning speed

[lrdesigns]

I got 50:45 red raw baseplates.

[deucesdown]

Offtopic but I’m gonna share wrth you boys. This PM commute ride was glorious. Bootiful weather in nyc today. Most of the lights lined up (might have been red for non-eskaters), and only one almost-killed by yellowcab.

Fun hobby

10mm in-wheel spacers seem hard to find.

McMaster-Carr

Hollow steel tube ID .394° aka 10mm. Who can cut square and repeatable?

EDIT adding more stuff to this originally crap post.

• the spacers you can buy from SR look very nice, will do the job.
• Spacers are usually 10mm wide.
• Precision ones are nicer for sure.
• Aluminum is not the best, deforms too easy. Steel is mo betta. This goes for speed rings too.
• Abec11 introduced bearings with integrated spacers and speed rings called Biltin (thanks @ChrisChaput!). Zealous, etc. are lowballing them out of the game. I’m not sure if this is a bad thing overall.
• Seismic Tekton (integrated spacer/speedring) come in 10mm. Expensive.
• I found some 10mm spacers, $5. As usual for exotic serious stuff, sk8kings, and Khiro. Aluminum… http://www.sk8kings.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=S&Product_Code=SKKRO217&Category_Code=BE
• I think I can cut repeatably on my little bandsaw, but not sure about parallel.

Is this for railes to protect the motors? If so, I’d get this, cuy to length then drill and tap.

Edit, I see where you were talking about spacers above.
