Basically helps to eliminate the gap/slop between the kingpin and the hanger. When put on Calibers, the centerpoint becomes very defined like a Ronin truck.
Also yāall are spoiled with this truck stability thing. I take TKP trucks past 20mph pretty regularly without issue. Any RKP trucks out there (Calibers, Paris, cRonins, cRogues, Randals, Bears, Atlas, etc.) will do fine on an esk8 as long as you build up your ankle muscles. Get high rebound bushings like Riptide APS in order to eliminate speed wobblesā¦
Edit: Forgot to add. Calibers ship stock with āinsert barrelā bushings which pretty much do exactly what was mentioned above for the Riot Plugs at perhaps a slight cost of more restriction. From the getgo theyāre more rigid and precise than other trucks on the market for that very reason.
stock calibers are fine to any speed, but they dont carve beautifully. ronins are much more precise at small lean, but feel still alot less linear and boring when carved hard. this discussion has nothing to do with being spoilt, Ive ran nearly every truck on the market including 250ā¬ precision trucks on the quest to find the best setup for speed and carving and ronins were by far the most fun trucks in basicslly all regards and cast ronins are truly unrivaled in the value for money point.
about plugs: Ive got a few dont trip trucks with spherical kingpin bearing, now thats true precision around the turning point, really sensitive and great feel, using them on my pump setup ā¦ but value for money ratio is clearly in favour of cronins.
Iām not referring to you, as much as Iām referring everyone else. Trucks are a preference. Bushings control the ride. If you have Paris trucks, then thereās a bushing setup that makes them perform well at speed. Same deal for every other truck out there. Iām not of the belief that one should drop their current trucks and go for Ronins as an end all be all. I much prefer they invest in extra sets of bushings and dial in their setup. If they want ābetterā trucks, then they always have the option down the road.
If you really like Donāt Trips and their insert bushing setups, then why not give cast Rogues a shot? They should be very similar to Ronins but slightly more linear due to this lower rake (2mm cast Rogues vs 7mm cast Ronins vs 5mm precision Ronins).
Cast Rogues are arguably the best price/performance trucks that make use of insert bushings (same thing as the Donāt Trips and Buzzed trucks). Just like Ronins, they donāt have/need a bushing seat because of their extremely defined centerpoint, so they posses absurd amounts of lean.
i found my trucks after more than 5years of playing around with every variable there is! think the concept of the supportpin is simple, genious, and absolutely ideal for powered wheels!
dialing in bushings is mandatory for all trucks, im not running stock bushings in my ronins either. 93A riptide boardside and 87A riptide crank roadside works on nearly all trucks for my preferred speed and carving style somehow.
the ldp dont trips dont have inserts, but a real spherical bearing, which is quite a precision/slop step up to abything i ran until then.
Youāre gonna do a build log for this right? Iāve built a 10S6P Vanguard so I would be really interested to see how you fit that many cells Thought much about using 2070/2170 cells?
I will, it will be a segmented enclosure like on my last trampa - but Ill do it in a more proper way this time - learning 3D modelling, carving a mold with my cnc router that i still have to finish building, then using that polished mold for a real precision and high gloss carbon enclosure with resin infusion that basically covers the whole vanguard without having an impact on its flex. its still a long way, but this build will be a step up from anything ive done until then.
rough sketch: 7 segments, 2x3 on each trucks side for 2x7P battery elements, middle is a more flat segment for 2x vesc6.
This is whatās on my Dropped Glorrrrrrryyyyyyyy build, its the most solid and fail proof build Iāve ever done. no slip, tons of torque, great acceleration and top speed.
didnt try, ronins arent very wide, but either way im not a big fan of dual motor on one axle, always gives this awkward locking differential feel when you carve.
High voltage seems the way to go.
A bit off topic but the new Porsche Mission-E is built on a 800V Platform, highest yet for an EVā¦
How does it handle the high ERPMs? Not regarding DRV errors or faults but rather the Efficieny at high speeds compared to 12s or even 10s
It might be difficult to tell i guessā¦
