So more or less the same stuff we do with normal RKP trucks apart from the fact we can’t play with boardside/ roadside bushings. What do you mean by dual rear?

This is something I pointed out back in 2015, a dual rear motor design is extremely tail heavy. A tail heavy board will whip around on you the moment traction breaks while turning or carving at decent speed. Is this a huge problem on pnumatics? I do not know for sure.

I definitely have run into this before… more than once.
Even with traction control, it can toss you like a fucking whip!
Thats why I ate shit the other nite racing a Litre bike light to light. Lol.
I was winning…

Ok I get it. Yes, the same applies to pneumatics. The only difference is it is more difficult to break traction compared to PU and when you do there is a higher chance they will find traction again. This can be good or bad depending on the situation.

Any truck with positive or close to zero castor in front is going to toss you the fuck off at speed.
If this were true then @MoeStooge link trucks would be highly unstable… Are you still sure about this statement?
The queen pin location on ronin trucks also throw your assumption out the window
The thing is you are dead wrong in your assumption. @DerelictRobot build is proof that you are the one dreaming and spreading poor information. Go ahead and double down if you like but you will still be wrong.

I understand just fine, you are the one thinking trucks function like castor wheels.
So many memes in one post and it wasn’t me…

I know right, ass load of pent up rage in this one. 
His next one is gonna be good!
Im just here to learn. Its hard to watch these back a fourth arguments from members I’ve followed super closely. I really look up to @MoeStooge and im dying to race with him some day. @chaka has some bad ass products and definitely puts his all into his work. @Deckoz is an amazing source of knowledge. Im just gonna sit back and see where this goes lol.

It depends how much rake you have in the trucks. Most racers like a bit more rake up front and less in the rear.
Unless you are the pit crew for this vagabond you should be speaking in terms of rake not caster.

That’s a low blow. Lol I was actually talking to a co-worker who wants me to build him a board. And then he brought up the RipStik asking if I can motorized that… i walked away lol

Right !!! especially because they have a motorized version already and they NAILED IT!!!
Rode one in walmart… nailed it on the first try.
Second attempt a few weeks later and I nearly broke my hip. Evil machines!

But that is not the case, all one has to do to see you are wrong is flip their board over and push the trucks side to side. The axle center, if the truck has positive rake, is ahead of the pivot center.
The king pin is deffinitly along the axial plane of the pivot but it is not the pivot center.
Rake determines if the axle is forward or behind the pivot center. More importantly, it determines if the axle is above or below the pivot center.
For instance @MoeStooge truck system is zero rake.
