First of all let me thank Ron, El Gordo Nino hisself, for building this for me. It's 34 inches long to handle the fastest of GS hills, Trade, Hobby, New Yawk, Ohio, Golden, etc....
I didn't plan on making it a six until it arrived. It was so simple. Ron had drilled the tail for multiple truck positions, I just drilled two more forward holes and was done.
The rear truck sits on a 1/4 inch shock, topped with a 10 degree Khiro, topped with a four degree out of my new riser kit. The inside rear sits on a 1/8 shock topped with the same 10, but finished with a 3 degree. Why, I dunno, it seemed like a good idea at the time. The inside rear does not touch the ground until you get on it, and according to Chaput, this is the way it should be.
The preliminary runs down the hill outside my house felt amazing. Words cannot describe the feeling of control it possesed. I am looking forward to shaking it out at Trade & Hobby very soon.
Rock on Team FatBoy!!!!!
