If you're looking to fine-tune your electric skateboard for better stability, smoother carving, and a more dialed-in ride, upgrading to CNC TKP trucks might be the move. After multiple rides and setup tweaks, here’s a full hands-on review of OMW Hussar equipped with CNC-machined TKP trucks, based on real-world riding impressions and comparisons.
First Impressions: CNC TKP Trucks on OMW Hussar
Right out of the box, the CNC TKP (Traditional Kingpin) trucks on OMW Hussar give the e-board a noticeably different personality compared to the stock DKP setup. While DKP trucks are known for their aggressive carve and "wow factor," the TKP configuration immediately leans into control and confidence.
Paired with MAD V2 105mm wheels, the setup looks clean and aggressive while offering plenty of grip. The CNC finish adds a premium feel, and visually, the trucks complement the board’s bold colorway and wave-style grip tape perfectly.
Ride Feel: Stability Is the Name of the Game
On the first ride, the biggest takeaway is stability. TKP trucks naturally reduce twitchiness, and on the Hussar board, they feel:
- More planted at speed
- Predictable over rough pavement
- Confidence-inspiring on wet or imperfect roads
Even with a medium-flex deck, the e board maintains excellent composure. You still get a bit of bounce and energy return from the deck, but without sacrificing control. This makes the setup ideal for riders who enjoy carving but don’t want to feel on edge at higher speeds.
Bushing Swap: Unlocking More "Wow Factor"
Out of the box, the stock 100A bushings felt a bit too stiff, especially for riders who enjoy a surfy, carve-heavy style. After swapping to RipTide KranK Formula 90A barrel bushings (front and back), the eboard completely transformed.
With 90A RipTide Bushings:
- Carving became snappier and more responsive
- Low-speed turns felt buttery smooth
- Still rock-solid at higher speeds
- Better rebound and energy return
This setup hit the perfect balance between playfulness and control, especially when combined with the flex deck. It’s a great reminder that bushings matter just as much as trucks when dialing in your ride.
Performance & Power Delivery
OMW Hussar’s power system feels just as refined as the ride:
- Strong torque for quick acceleration
- Smooth, responsive Hobbywing ESC behavior
- Confident braking and throttle modulation
Whether cruising downtown streets or opening it up for faster carves, the power delivery feels controlled rather than aggressive, exactly what you want paired with a TKP truck setup.
Deck Feel: Flex That Works With You
OMW’s deck design really shines here. The flexy Chain-whip internal battery enclosure gives OMW Hussar eboard a subtle pop and rebound that enhances carving instead of fighting it. You feel connected to the eboard, especially during:
- Low-speed carving
- Pumping through turns
- Flow-style riding
It’s a unique feel that sets the Hussar apart from more rigid, “dead” decks.
Who Is This Setup For?
OMW Hussar with CNC TKP trucks is ideal if you:
- Prefer stability over ultra-loose carving
- Ride in urban environments or mixed road conditions
- Want a predictable, confidence-inspiring board
- Enjoy customizing your setup with bushings
If you’re coming from DKP trucks and want something calmer but still fun, this setup hits the sweet spot.
Final Verdict: Dialed, Refined, and Fun
After several days of riding and fine-tuning, the verdict is clear: CNC TKP trucks elevate the OMW Hussar into a smoother, more controlled carving machine. With the right bushings, you don’t lose the fun, and you just gain confidence.
Between the premium CNC trucks, flexy deck, strong motors, and clean aesthetics, this setup delivers a ride that feels intentional and refined.
Highly recommended for riders who want stability, smooth carving, and a board that feels truly dialed in.
