That's awesome! There weren't many videos around when I installed my plates, hence me making this vido. Hope it helps :)

What kind of trucks... assuming the reactor pro? The basic answer is to follow the exploded view on the box if you have it. All the smaller parts (trucks, cushions, etc) stack onto the king pin. The king pin nut holds it all together, and this is the part you tighten down. How loose you keep your trucks is subjective. Looser is more manoeuvrable, but takes a little more skill to keep steady and more likely to give you speed wobbles at higher speeds. I like looser as park skating is my fav. For speed or if you don't want them too wiggly, then tighter is better but they'll be a little less nimble. The Reactor Pro's king pin has a way of 'clicking' to each quarter turn, making it easier to tighten/loosen depending on what you're skating that day. Though - I tend to never bother with changing them after I have mine set. I think I keep my rear trucks looser than my front by a touch

Heya! My boot is 6.5, and the reactor plate is size 6.

@@pipharding3168 im planning to do the same with my lollies

@@pipharding3168 i have a moxi size 6 boot

@@mockingjay22riot They're great plates

@@pipharding3168 what size is your CIB slide block? 😃

Thanks, hope it helped!

They come with the new plates, in the box :)

Heyo, you can sure use the same wheels (Fundaes)! I felt an immediate improvement with the new plates. Much more stable, yet supple. The Fundae wheels are nimble, and I used to use them everywhere (park and street). However, if you're skating around on roads more, I love Atom Road Hogs. Super fast and roll over anything. Much more smooth than Fundaes on rougher surfaces.

So glad it was of some use!

hmmm i don't think i'd want to drill the plate; wouldn't want to alter anything about the design and balance of those $300 plates. Easiest to alter the boot holes :)

Glad it helped out :D

Oof, sorry just checked back here. Darn I don't have the old stock plates anymore to check. My lolly boot is 6.5, and the reactor plate is size 6. Hope that helps!

Heya, true that!! I like the design of only having the allan screw to tighten your toestop. So neat and easy, and after trialling it - just as secure (if not more). Thanks!

:D

My boot is 6.5, and the plate is size 6. If you order through your local skate shop, I'm sure they'll advise on sizes.

If I remember correct, my lolly's had both the flathead type screw head AND square, on the inside. The square shape is called a 'robertson' (canadian invention!). Yeah you might have to get hold of a robertson screwdriver (note: they come in different sizes, so gotta make sure you get one that fits. maybe buy from home depot, keep the tags on, and return once done). I suspect when you try to turn the nut off, the hole screw is just turning in place and not loosening? You have to hold down that inside 'square/robertson' part of the head (or flathead screwdriver for the screwhead with the straight groove) , so you can hold the screw still and turn the nut. Did that help?

@@pipharding3168 Hell to the yeah it helped! At least now I know which tools I need. Thank you very much :D

@@marmotae Haha awesome!!! You got this!

Sorry just saw your comment! I haven't done a lot of riding on comparison plates, but I LOVE these plates. They were immediately a big jump up from the stock Moxi plates. They're solid/steady, and agile for sure. Easily adjustable, so that if you're after speed you can tight the king pin real quick, or for more agility - loosen

Aw thanks so much! I gotta say, I didn't find anything very helpful when I wanted to do this... hence this video

I only had a couple of drill bits, so I’m not even sure I had the right size. Basically you should try and match the thickness of the drillbit to the thickness of the screw, however if it’s a bit small then you can just wiggle the drill in/out and side to side as you’re drilling, to take a little extra off the hole edges. Hope that helps!

Pip Harding thx for the info, I’m planning on doing this in the distant future, but I don’t want to make huge holes in my boot so that helped😂.

Nice yeah that'd help. When you're checking for 'center', look down over the top of your boot (ie the view you get when you have your skates on and you're looking down), and ensure you can see equal amounts of wheel on each side. This will help center at the front of the boot

@@pipharding3168 ooOo will do! Thanks :)

it's called a robertson. are they just turning in their hole as you try to twist them off? if so, yah, have to get the right size robertson screwdriver to hold that main metal piece (screw) still, while you twist off the bolt

@@pipharding3168 yep, exactly that. Thanks!!

I had the same problem, thank ya!

Hey Christine! I'm Moxi 6.5. Just take it slow - you'll be fine. It's fairly simple work... the nervousness is just our worry about damaging our (expensive) skates, but you'll be able to do the task! I love the Powerdyne Reactor - immediate upgrade. yah i think you should be able to reuse the heel holes, but the holes may need the widening process. just need to drill the same heel hole, but pulling the drill to the edge.. so it carves the side of the hole out a bit. When centering the plate, it's a good idea to put wheels on the trucks, then look over the top of your boot. you should see equal amounts of wheel poking out from each side of your boot.

@@pipharding3168 Thank you for replying! I'm a US 7 in the Moxi Lolly, so not far off from your size. Yes, I'm nervouse because I don't want to ruin them as are expensive. Your video really helped calm my fears, and I'm leaning more to the Reactor because it. Thank you for your help!😁👍

@@shimmypolkaroo Great! yeah! you can do it :D You'll feel great once you accomplish it, and you'll love the feel of the new plates.

@@pipharding3168 I hope so! The standard mount on the Thrust plates don't match up with my pressure points on my foot, so I get pain. I have to get a slightly shorter wheelbase to also fix that, so the investment will pay off quickly from what I'm learning. Thank you for the encouragement!🥰

I mean, you probably don't want to put a whole thwack of holes in the bottom of your boot, but a couple new ones sure won't hurt at all. Overall, the agility of the new plates is going to be a big improvement and make your skates feel top notch

Oh that's awesome, thanks Wesley!
