Reported for cyber abuse hehehe. :stuck_out_tongue:

What deck are you gonna build this drive onto?

130

Hmmm short deckā€¦ spud? Not sure

131

Probably need to extend the trucks outwards like I did :stuck_out_tongue:

Or, get a new deck. Hehehe. Or, cut some wheel cutouts the spud.

The stock bushings subjected to a wholly scientific finger squeeze would seem to rate at around 88A. Blood orange bushing was a good fit in the hanger but a bit too tall to work, shame as they have inserts which fit into the hanger perfectly

Pictured is deckside 93A Riptide Krank Canon and roadside the stock shorter bushing. Pivot cup is replaceable with Riptide Caliber pivot cupsimage image image image

Hey Alan, try to flip the hanger, so the the grub screw holes face the street side. That may allow for bigger bushings to be used.

I use double barrels (krank) street and board side on my setup. I swapped the baseplate out for Caliber baseplates though, the Kahua hangers are fully compatible!

Can swap out kingpin for a longer one?

136

Timo and Jeff have the answers ^

137

I have swapped out Caliber baseplate kingpins, so if you use caliber plates, you can do so by hammering out the original one and plopping in another one with your desired length.

138

You cant swap it out on the stock baseplates afaik, theyā€™re pressed in really tight. ( iā€™ll try some methods to take mine out and will let you know if I manage to (: )

But as @Linny mentioned, you can definitely change Caliber kingpins (:

Ok conclusion: pretty much impossible to take out the kingpin on the stock baseplates, i suggest using Caliber baseplates if youā€™re after a longer kingpin.

Sidenote:

Too much for too little given the super common compatibility

even with a 1/2 ton arbor press on the way for bearings

The 500km Update!

Alright guys, as promised, hereā€™s the 500km update!

Firstly, some pics before my comments:

  • The gears have virtually 0 wear after 500km (I donā€™t think the grease iā€™m using is any good, doesnt seem to stick too well to POM gearsā€¦ time for molykote g1067, if i can even get my hands on some.)
  • The cover (installed at the 300km mark) seems to be doing its job in keeping the gears consistently lubricanted while reducing noise.
  • The skidplate (installed at the 400km mark) seems to do itā€™s job in protecting the underside of the drive, thereā€™s visible damage to the plate after 100km on various terrain, including some AT.
  • Nothing much else to add really, the drive behaves the same as day 1!

The Pre-order Update!

  • Offering a 10% discount off the total price for people who order a 4WD! Updated the main thread above accordingly.
  • Basically waiting for more preorders to come through so I can send the files to the factory straight after their CNY holiday is over!
