Update: Sorry guys, bad news. Manufacturers actually ended up making 35D instead of 50D Baseplates. For most decks, 35D would cause wheelbite so they’ll have to create new ones.
Most of everything should arrive soon so we’ll pretty much only be waiting for the 50D Baseplates + 110 Wheels.
Sorry if it’s already been covered, but if I were to machine trampa trucks, do you think I could fit these on them? What’s the diameter of the truck that it is installed on?
@Sn4Pz Yeah pretty silly mistake lol. Funny thing is we were only making 50x 35D Baseplates as an optional upgrade. I’m sure there not happy about it either.
You could… I forget the square size for the Trampa Trucks. I’d imagine though the axle length is much longer so not sure it would fit entirely to be honest. Our axle length is standard axle length. Might be more work than necessary.
@Skunk Yeah, we’ll have them for those who want them.
Sorry to hear about the manufacturing error. It is disappointing, but It’s good to hear everything else is pretty much ready and you’ve got time to finish up the wheels. I just ordered my DD kit and probably wouldn’t have known of a delay otherwise. My naked Moonshine deck will have to lie in anticipation till March. Thanks for the update TB.
Would like to pre-order this weekend! Personally ride very aggressive and appreciate (rely on) precision of trucks. Mostly enjoy carving and taking quick sharp turns fast as I can.
The motor diameter is 70mm, so 85mm wheels will fit, but you won’t have much clearance between the ground and the motors. Then again, that’s always the case with small wheels, so decide for yourself. With my Caguama belt setup, I have around 12.5mm clearance between the ground and the belts, which seems to be fine. The motors and motor mounds will get scratched by pebbles either way.
In your case though, a 15mm difference in diameter will mean 7.5mm clearance between the motor and ground. I believe that’s small enough where your motor will be constantly pushing small pebbles and debris out of the way. Unless you live somewhere with superb quality roads, I would go for bigger wheels / a different drive train. (Still waiting for swissboards.ch to come online )
P.S.
I get 24.2 mph (39kmh) in the calculator with your specs. Perhaps you forgot to change gear ratio to 1:1 ?
