Avenue Suspension Trucks review/tutorial

Ah, yes. That makes a lot more sense now. I definitely see what you guys mean by the angled trucks. I may endeavor with the Evolve/Avenue for my front, but I unfortunately have my motors epoxied onto my rear Paris trucks. :slight_smile: Thanks for the explanation.

Evolve+Avenue+Enertion, took me a few hours, lotā€™s of tinkering but it fits, world first!

how much did you have to file ?

not that much, a few mm on 3 sides of the truck to get even surfaces

(Iā€™ll make more pics and some video of that, but not today)

sweet. Canā€™t wait to get my hangers.

I contacted Avenue, this is the answer:

ā€œWe are working on our longboard RKP trucks and should have them available in March/April this upcoming year. They will have much larger axles and will be built for better stabilization at higher speeds. Our hangers are custom designed so I am not sure that any other trucks hangers would work with our baseplatesā€

small video of the assembling

and the GT trucks work too (in case you want bigger motors) someone did this (but he didnā€™t liked it): https://evolveforums.com/attachments/img_2048-jpeg.867

Great work, that looks awesome!

Do you know the width on the trucks you used and the GT ones too? Total length of the axle not the hanger length. Thanks!

Gen2 Street-Truck total: 25,7 cm GT: donā€™t know, nobody have this board in my city

GTā€™s width is 303mm /12" according to evolveā€™s website. Btw thks for your information through instagram @E-Boarding Iā€™ll start my work as soon as I can get gt trucks here in the uk XD

180mm RKP Longboard trucks are out! Whoā€™s making mounts?

Niceā€¦ maybe there is hope for full carbon boards after allā€¦ I reckon I can get a hobby king mount on there :stuck_out_tongue:

Sounds like it would make a good episode for the chop shop :slight_smile:

@psychotiller has a 273mm rkp truck with 2 motor mounts set up that might replace the hanger on these new avenue longboard trucksā€¦ Hard to say without having measurements. I know i use the regular skateboard avenue trucks with an evolve hanger that mated well with it. I still had to dremel out a flat spots for the motor mount though. Hoping Pyschotillers hanger mates well with these avenue longboard trucks.

They should make a universal one that can attach any truck toā€¦ maybe I have a profitable idea lol

Send me a base plate. If it fits Iā€™ll send back an awesome mount setup. If not, Iā€™m send back the base plate.

If it fits torque board 218mm hangers that would blow me away

Most people (who arenā€™t using drop through boards) use risers right?

Am I missing something here? Why not make a steel (springy) base plate, the width of a standard truck mounting plate, bent round like this in a kind of U shape that you can bolt ANY standard truck to, then bolt that to the board?

The depth of the U shaped spring could replace the risersā€¦

What if, by using this same principle, you could create a springy (not too springy) plate that fit to ALL standard skateboards and to ALL standard trucks, thereby enabling you to use ANY trucks and have some kind of ride dampenerā€¦? Like this I just knocked upā€¦

Or this:

I think nobody has ever tested that though
