**mark33** · 11-23-2009 04:13 PM

hey so ive got one of these

its actually this one,,,but you can see the shape better in the above photo

anyway,,how to set it up????
i know the answer will be dependent on what im gonna use it for!! well its gonna be for dh and i wanna set it up so it doesnt bottom out.
ive got various trucks available from kookys, kahas, randals, cindrichs in both geometries,aeras and a few other things. ive got all the cindrich angle base plates.
ive got plenty of bushings to play with and ive got lots of wheels from avilas, rfs, flys, speedvents, inheats, bigzigs, durians, stimulus, 4pres, etc etc
what do you guys think??? i weigh about 80kilos
thanks in advance if you take the time to help,,,,i did search the forums but didnt find what i was looking for.

play with your setup until you find what you want. i mean how is someone going to say that a certain set up is "best", it's all personal.

just stay away from super low stuff that can lead to rail bite, so probably no inline axles.

those are pretty.

**driftfreak** · 11-23-2009 04:36 PM

since you've got them all, play around with them all and see what you like.
no two people are identical.
there aren't many other ways we can help you...

oh yeah, kahas may be a little too low for double-drops, especially with that much of a drop.
and durians aren't the best dh wheels i've tried.

and the carbon fibre-wrapped version in the background of the first picture almost made me jizz my pants.
>.<

yeah the kahas were too low...they had my fat ass scrapping the ground when in a tightish turn...
haha that carbon is nice no?? im just about to email the dude to try and pick one up

If it were me, I'd try randals and 77mm RF's

**Rouleau** · 11-23-2009 04:45 PM

Randals or aera's and some 81mm round lipped race forms!

**pennypusher** · 11-23-2009 04:48 PM

the cindrichs,stim shaped bottoms ,barrel tops and a 77-80mm wheel
neither side is wedged on those decks is it?
am i correct in saying the drop is about 1.5 inches?

ive got 74mm and 81mm rfs,,,am gonna give it a shot manana with the randals and cindrichs...this board is nuts its sooooo low. the point of my post wasnt to find the BEST set up but to find one that would stop the board bottoming out in turns..haha
when ive got a basic set up that does that then i can dial it in a bit more
thanks for the replies tho

I have a Carbon foam filled Project Speed Board as well, and have had it set up many ways. With Randal 50* I could use 75mm wheels but with Zealous, I'm running 83mm wheels. Also remember you can alway mount it regular and not dropped thu. I love the tub concave and how wide they are.. right now I actually cruise on it and have it set up with 50* front plates and the rear is topmounted with a 42 plateproject speedboard bottom.jpg

its not in front of me just now mate but from memory it seems like a lot more than 1.5 inches.

**pennypusher** · 11-23-2009 04:57 PM

yeah those boards are really low,i think i remember reading its about a 1.875 inch drop,if it seems way to low there is no harm in top mounting it.
does not say on their site.
this is the only review i found
