You’ll be glad you buy @psychotiller’s set. Solid mounts and parts will save you alot of trouble later on.

Edit: Also I’m trying to get on his good side cause he’s been patient with me and with @skunk too lol

Changed up my bushings. Front 95a board side 90a road Rear 97a board side 90a road. All barrels Looks like it’s gonna rain… So no testing.

Mate still here too. Over it seriously. Been riding around my kitchen.

@dareno it stopped and dried up enough to ride to work. Feels so much better. Might play with it some more. Have 94a barrels and a bunch of random fatt cones. Feels great atm. Can’t believe I’m not getting wheel bite.

Looks awesome dude. I need to do more research and testing with different bushings. I’m still waiting for the roads to dry out. No way I’m taking that thing out in wet roads.

Love your wheel bite test with the little angel. Made me laugh because I used to use my youngest as a push up weight. He’d sit on my back while I worked out.

Im pretty damn happy with how they turned out especially since I widen the stance a little bit for the bigger Wheels. Before it said f*** push F*** pushin makes a bit more sense

Got to ride it to work today. Man it rides nice now. These SR TKP trucks are great. Especially with the bushings i got on there now. The improved belt fitment with @psychotiller mounts has completely changed the brakes. I lost a little top speed going up to 40t with @JLabs awesome press pullys. But got it back and a better ride going from 90mm to 97mm abec 11s. Id really like to re deck this build. Maybe thats next… Or motors Or battery Lol idk Empty pockets so nothing anytime soon. 20180930_153448 20180930_154205 15383477291083771027257683036550 15383477815558947982153521620389 15383478158092034285269275455723

@Skunk if you decide to put a new deck on the build at some time hit me up and I can do an awesome custom deck for you.

Oh really. @briman05 Look for something in the 33-36 range. Really like moonshine(sidekick,rumrunner) and rayne downhill decks. Kicktail is a must.

That size I wouldn’t be able to do. Most of my decks I do with kicktails are like the 24-30 inches size but they have a proper kicktail. And then I have longboards

Got another set of @JLabs pullys. 36t this time. Did some adjustments on my mounts and now all my engraving is viable. 1538782536654611925632611276182 Got 265 and 255 belts… Need 275 lol. These pullys with

Bearings stuffed in side on SR trucks are the best. Ive currently got 2 bearings in my wheels and THREE in my pullys. Definitely running these on all my SR trucks for now on.

First ride on the 36t/16t pully set up. I like the extra top end but my brakes are drastically different. Might be going back to 40t. Ill need slightly longer belts.

If you don’t mind explaining, why different and so many bearings?

My pulleys are completely supported by the axle via bearings from end-to-end.

So this thing has been acting up lately. Sometimes *won’t trun on *wont connecte with remote *won’t stay at full acceleration steadily *wont stay at top speed for more than a few seconds *brakes are all or nothing It’s not all these things every ride. But it’s always one of them. I’ll try and find time to crack it open today. Think the diyboard esc is on its way out. @dareno recommend i check the reviver so ill do that first.
