Yes, specially if it is the adjustable one, because those have lots of carve to them and need a lower angle through either risers or the adjustable Baseplate to be a rear truck in an asymm slalom style set up.
Im getting ready to order another set of tkp. Was gonna get 177mm hangars again but im willing to try something different. For what deck?
Could be any of these concaves. Particularly the one with the kick tail in the second to last pic.
This is so sexy
It is. And I’m the only person who’s ever owned this board. Besides whoever has it now with my Sk8 Kings Bennet choppers and my Tracker RTS 100mms. GRRRR First slalom trucks ever, and they are gone forever. I’m working with another member right now to rebuild this mold. Oh I have a new concave for it.
it sounds/looks like something you should like this setup on the deck that @Skunk show just above !!
That’s a great set up for manualling, but the narrower trucks help with grip, and on a slalom board which isn’t being manualled at all and thus could move the width down by moving a motor rearward.
This is what you mean @drangboards? If you reverse one side and skip the crossbar you get this:
Figured out you can use the SR TKP 149mm with this setup, trucks in the picture are 177mm
Yeah, that’s the idea. Is that how wide the axles need to be with this motor offset?
Not sure what you mean, the truck hanger needs to be 149mm. Here it is 177mm, not using any spacers. The distance you see between wheel pulley and mount is what you can “get rid” of
Can you flip those motor mounts backwards so that they can be a bit closer, with narrower trucks? The flange would go on the outside, versus on the inside as pictured above.
Then it would hit the belt
ah yeah true
arrived perfectly, bombproof packaging, stoked base plate. DRAAAANG!
Oh man… think i know what im ordering from surfrodz next.
Adjustable base plates?
Smaller hanger tkp first. But im not seeing a 149mm in the tkp hex 10mm axles. I saw 177mm or 127mm. The tkp hex 8mm axles have 100mm 139mm & 159mm. But I’d rather run 10mm axles so i can get longer axles for pully bearings.
I think the 127mm will work tho. @drangboards do i NEED adjustable baseplates both front and rear? Or just rear mainly?
Says so on the box:
Edit: ah, maybe it’s only with 8mm axles
You need a low angle is all. Depending on what your building deck wise
