Those stair Rover hubs look awesome! Wish there was an easier way to purchase them, I’m going to look around… Also god forbid they match the urethane colors lol

Cool tandem trucks. I wonder if anyone is going to sell complete esk8 with them

The shock does absolutely nothing with that solid suspension bracket…It’s all for looks. Where’s Springy?

Maybe the supsension trucks would be a great idea as a front truck and keep it normal on the back side

It’s like having 6-8 wheels on a car! What’s the point? Just adds more cost and potentially more to go wrong!

Would like to see that build haha Or even something like this which can go up stairs: https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/71UT58E7osL.SL1500.jpg

i’m pretty sure with 8wd hummies you’d have enough power to ride on the walls and skip the stairs entirely. Or you’d just levitate.

In that case the 6 wheels actually did a lot to increase the versatility off road, I don’t think any other production car comes close to it in that respect. But I will agree that the price is insane :joy:

At this point, a mountainboard is more light and more portable.
