I'm very interested and curious about Chaput's Fyre truck, but it'll probably be out of my price range.

Does anyone know anything about these? Are they going to be precision in the price range or Seismic in price range? Are they downhill or slalom trucks  Release date? |

Sounds reasonable for a titanium truck. Sounds like even the axle is titanium. I'm running out of stuff to sell. 
Those are some pretty wide hangers. The design is so interesting. A gamechanger. I still don't understand how it works as far as separating the load and steering. I hope we see a cast aluminum with steel axle version in our lifetime. That's cool that he has all the different angle baseplates, but without actually trying out different combinations of angles and bushings before pulling the trigger I don't see the likelyhood of ending up buying two hangers and only 2 baseplates, as well intentioned as CC is being. |

From the same Silverfish thread (Chris Chaput):
| Quote: | With Fyre Trucks I can pump my speedboard on flat ground to about 17mph. This is with 83mm tall x 78mm wide wheels on a 36.5" axle-to-axle wheelbase. It feels like an exotice sports car under my feet. Words that come to mind are "solid", "precise", "tight", "flat-tracking", and "sticky".
