- So I did something again. I got motivated by an online dispute about a brand ripping off another brand. Boith use 2 Kingpins.
So I thought why not test it.
The first task was to find a truck that can even hold 2 sphericals. At first I thought caliber, but it would have been close. But then I discovered Station 5 Trucks and they were perfect.
Then I drilled some holes. one in the hanger and one in the baseplate.
Fittet in some sphericals and glued it in place.
The truck feeling:
It's... harsh.
The input is very direct and the truck turns pretty fast. You get a lot of road feel and not a lot of dampening. You can pump it but it's not that fun on my pavements.
I actually dop enjoy this truck less than my otehr modded trucks.
I think the next step is to test if the real deal feels better!

Watching your board modification videos feels like watching a mad scientist in a laboratory graveyard
Yeah, I can imagine what it feels liek the first time :D
No, no, he is right, everytime 😂
Such young hands innovating
scythe be like : "Can we accuse this as copying?"
🤣🤣🤣
Mad scientist stuff. Lovely!
Was ein Aufwand :D
I cannot comment also here with the jurassic park "you crazy, you really did it" 😂 but I can say great (crazy) work, it seems a little less sketchy than the photos and the fact that you searched a truck with that shape on purpouse is great!
Keep doing you crazy tests, Michael!
Thanks man, appreciate it!
@@skate-horizons but the ultimate test would be sawing off the pivot, so full Scyte concept 😮😮

@@LDPizza glue precision trucks coming soon
Im just curious as to why you didn't do the full scythe truck system with two bushings, but instead just utilized the main kingpin? What was the reason behind this? Genuine question, love your videos!!
You are right, I wanted to!
Turns out, I messed up the dimensions. It woulndn't really fit. But you will see something interesting in the following weeks!
TBH, I'm still puzzled by the obsession with reducing "slop"... when you're surfing on water or snowboarding there is no such thing as slopless carving. And if there is any slop in my Paris V3 trucks I, personally, can't seem to feel it. Maybe if I rode a precision that would teach me the difference?
So is this JUST for people who are building efficient wiggle-boards (aka LDP with emphasis on the LD part)?
exactly, that or fast Downhill. for everyone else, no difference!
my metal working brain hurts after watching this. if that wasnt aluminum! and god please use or cutting oil or at least any oil when making threads
I used oil ;)
I did this stepn in another video explaining it, it was just not shown here!
But thanks for your input, as you see im not really a pro metalworker :D
But didn’t you also use a wood drill bit when drilling through the trucks? 😑😅
@@pascalpfeifer8692 This one was one made for steel. I had another friend telling me the same, but I bought it in a Hardware store, where they told me this is okay for Steel.
Maybe its wrong, anyways the hole is there ;D
its called aluminium ;)
was the hanger shorted to 130mm, 150mm, or?
130!
Hey do u have a discord or something ?i got a mod i would like to share with you and test, i enjoy it and think it might be a video worth making xD
Nah i dont have anything like that.
I have a mail in my channel description, otherwise jsut here!
