I was reading up on bushing and pivot cups to make TB trucks better. And in one of the posts someone shared a link to a 3d printable ring for between the hanger and kingpin. Canāt find it now. Anyone know what Iām taking about?
I actually tried some of these, didnāt like them. I like the precision cup washers better. Iāll print you some though.

will having a electric skateboard make girls like me?
I got a good one for you:
Girl: hello sexy boy. Can I try it? she tries your board and falls off but you grabs her You: ohh, you fell for me?
thats fantastic!
Good to know. I ordered all new bushings and cups. Want to do all I can to have a good ride. If you say they are not worth it, Iāll take your word for it.
They may be for you. Thereās so many factorsā¦ Ride style, acceleration speed, breaking speed, average travel speed, carve radius, rider weight, etc. All if that comes I to play on esk8s when figureing out a bushing setup.
Just because I didnāt find them useful doesnāt you wonāt.
In theory more amps available means more torque assuming your motor and everything in the circuit up to the coils in the motor can handle the amps available but correct on it not having an affect on top end speed. Range part was correct.
The switch has failed in a closed circuit so it is now always on. You can either use an antispark bullet or xt-90 to make a failproof switch for the battery discharge (can be on positive or negative lead just opens the circuit to stop current from flowing)
Search the forum for XT-90 loop key or search for deckoz antispark bullet to see some options. For now would just cut one of the two main leads and tape off the wires.
Let the choose your own adventure begin https://www.electric-skateboard.builders/t/how-often-do-you-turn-off-you-board/61149/52
Iāve got 5 or 6 complete boards (and piles of incomplete set ups) I can snag bushings and what have you from. Iām still not sold on the style of deck Iām gonna run for my first electric build. Iāve got alot of options tho. I prefer my short boards with kicktail even at high downhill speeds. But Iām thinking something between 35-40 inch.
My preference is 39-40 for comfort and speed, 32 ish for manuverability. I usually do hard (96a) bushing boardside and experiment roadside. Itās typically not too hard to find a good fit.
Both me and @Battosaii ended up using tall barrels roadside rear on our evos, which is odd, but itās an odd deck.
Donāt be scared to try weird shit . Everytime I see @Alphamail mention double cones Iām like āare you just trying to kill yourselfā but after I tried itā¦ Tons of fun, great carves and awesome return with cones in the rear. Not so great at 35mph, but a perfect setup is almost impossible.
Ok im currently using 2 Turnigy Graphene 6000mAh 4S Lipo packs in series, Their not very old, I got them around march/april time this year but iv decided im gonna get another 2 and possibly join them up in parallel with the two im already using, I heard you shouldnāt mix really old batteries with brand new but given we are only talking about a couple of months here , i just wondered if it would be safe to do so ?
Anyone know how to secure TSG Pass visors? Mine came loose and I think itās busted because itās not staying, is the spot under the visor supposed to look like this?
your plate broke off the helmet. You can take it off the visor and try to screw and glue it on again with some strong bond glue.
Noob question: most people use silicone coated wire (which I canāt find at my normal hardware store. Whatās the difference between this and the thhn coated wires from Home Depot?
Silicon coated tinrd copper supports more amps and higher voltages, and itās flexible which is nice.
