Fun video, i like the way of reducing slop. That kingpin release is satisfying, it's a common frustration and if you know, you know! Great to see a new approach on a truck with configuration taken into account. While i like to recess my bushings, it's another part taken out of the process to get a setup in tune.Thanks for contributing your engineering to the community. I was looking for melon names on the truck, Colocynth ?
Nice truck and thinkings of how it should work👍🏻👍🏻 i really like the technical aspects. And, good explanation and like your enthousiasm😎 that alone is already worth a buy😁 keep up the good work.
Really nice innovations! If you're looking for testers when it comes to durability of components, hitting up some electric skateboarders could be a good idea to get a lot of distance and vibrations put on the trucks! 😄
Thank you for the idea! We’ve had 5 top distance skaters testing the truck. With pumping you add a lot of stresses on the truck. That’s why the kingpins fail so often in the ldp discipline and why the pivot wears down so fast! Having people pump like crazy on it is an amazing durability test. I know these skaters and amongst others they’ve broken decks, brackets, bracket trucks. When it survives them I am pretty sure it will be bomb proof for the casual skater.
"The spherical bushing creates a notch on the kingpin" possible, but looking at broken poppy pictures, they seem to break under the boardside bushing where the kingpin enters the baseplate. Also would make sense, because thats the only part (the baseplate) which does not give in.
I’ve seen both! Either way the MK Space truck will reduce both ways of failure. As the outer ring will also press the kingpin sideways. This can also cause the Kingpin to break at the baseplate.
@@melonenkacke Makes sense, cause the force is directly transmitted to the kingpin when the outer ring touches. I personally never had the "fun", but also don't want the experience :D
Congrats for the new truck design. Looks exceptional. "MK PRformance" truck is a true testament of longevity and race performance. How do you like the name?
Thank you! There were for sure a few changes in the process. Especially in the beginning where we were checking the geometries through 3d printing. I think on the v1 test print prototype the truck didn’t fit on an sdf fork as the kingpin was hitting the fork, so we had to tune this. If it comes to the functional side with the features we almost had nothing to change. Which is crazy!!
Very clear and informative video ! You just seem to have forgotten to tell us about the baseplate : a 45° seemingly. Will you sell it soon ? In 45° and 55° ? Thanks and great work !
Thank you! I totally did forget to share the basic info of the truck. It will be a 45 degree baseplate for now. In the future I will make fitting 55 degree baseplates. I almost know the price of the truck (many parts have to get ordered in bulk from different sellers). It’s looking good so far and I expect the truck to be in production this week. Pre order will start this week as well. Shipping should be in 6 weeks.
What a well thought out truck design!!! I'd very much like to get my hands on this. Will there be different baseplate angles available? And maybe a 20° or 0° rear truck?
The red ones have been skated with spherical in the baseplate. However I’ve also skated a poppy with urethane pivot tube to death within a year (about 2000km)! I didn’t change the urethane pivot tube in that time, but I don’t think this pivot tube changed over the year and is the cause for a worn out pivot.
@@blockmanfries5637 I’m not a DH free ride expert. From my perspective you can so or so. Without the distance spacers it behaves just like a normal truck. You will have the advantage of durability. Kore bushings can be added instead of the spherical in the hanger. The distance spacers might be intresting for this but I am not sure!
Sehr Geile und durchdachte Achse. Die Erklärung jedes Problems und ihrer Lösung war richtig gut und aufschlussreich.
Danke!! Das freut mich dass das erklären gut funktioniert hatt🥳
As a pumping enthusiast, I am very keen on purchasing one as soon as possible.
My pitch for a name, MK ZZ (Zig Zag) truck.
Great video! Your machanical design is amazing! Thank you for improving LDP Trucks - I'd definitely be in for one. Love you name suggestion btw😂
Thank you! As you can see I am not the best in Marketing, but I guess that’s fine🤣
Great to see how you become more and more professional. Congratulations!
Thank you!!

Thanks Jendrossek. Love the name idea!
Looking great! Congrats on the design.

Great video! Love the design process, cant wait to try them out, whenever that is, i dont know!
That’s awesome to hear!
I just love ldp. So many weird and cool designs ❤
I can only support your statement❤️

How do you like the name?
That’s super cool name and very fitting!
@@melonenkacke PRecision, PRformance, Melonenkacke..
That seems to solve a lot of problems, i like it!
were there some scrapped design choices ? Would love to hear about the process!

@@melonenkacke Thanks for the reply!
Stoked to see how much it will be ;)

Looks like an incredibly well thought out and tested design. When do you think you will be able to make them available for sale to skaters to ride?
Thank you! They should be ready in about a month. Preorder is expected to start next week.
@@melonenkacke That sounds fantastic. Thank you.
Cool and well thought out truck.
Thank you!!
Awesome Design & Good regards to make a whole lot of sales :)

For now it will be a 45 degree truck. In the future there will be more baseplate options possible! We’ll be working on a fitting rear truck aswell.
@@melonenkacke keeping my eyes peeled!
Amazing! Can’t wait to order one. What do you think of a name MK Duro? I like watches and i like Casio Duro. Inexpensive and incredibly durable watch.
I love this idea!!
Yeah! 🎉🦄
out of curiosity, how often were you changing the pivots cups/tubes in your other red set (don't trips) featured at 02:59?
The red ones have been skated with spherical in the baseplate. However I’ve also skated a poppy with urethane pivot tube to death within a year (about 2000km)! I didn’t change the urethane pivot tube in that time, but I don’t think this pivot tube changed over the year and is the cause for a worn out pivot.
Can these be used for downhill and freeride?

Vielleicht wäre
Scarab
Deutsch: Scarabäus ein okayer Name 🤪
Cool! Nehme ich aus in der Liste😎
🤙🏽🤟🏽👌🏽
