A QUICK MESSAGE TO PROVIDE AN UPDATE ABOUT OUR INVENTORY AVAILABILITY ESTIMATE:
Hello and Greetings ESK8ers!
Our updated estimate for the release and availability of the SHOCBOX and the TRICK-STICK is now early to mid 2025. We have been diligent and busy getting ready for the volume production process which includes several manufacturers; however, a different production facility is now required for the fabrication of the Torsion Spring component which has delayed our projected inventory until after the New Year. Thank you so much to everyone for continued interest and patience while we continue to progress toward the official first available inventory.
David & Beth,
Shoc Board Systems, LLC.

SHOCBOX HUB DRIVE – DKP/TKP COMPATIBLE FOR BACKFIRE RANGER X3
Introducing the SHOCBOX for the Backfire Ranger X3! The first of its kind ESK8 product to offer the beneficial feature of a genuine suspension system for the board you already own or are purchasing. Experience a leap forward in capability and comfort with our SHOCBOX Hub Drive independent suspension system by transforming the Ranger X3 to a more advanced performance all-terrain platform.
The SHOCBOX Hub Drive is a patent pending true suspension system providing 40mm of sprung independent wheel travel for the ESK8 Backfire Ranger X3.
Made from 6061 T6 & 7075 T6 Aluminum CNC Black Anodized main body components, the SHOCBOX is strong and reasonably lightweight adding just under 4lbs to the Ranger X3.
The SHOCBOX utilizes a configuration of Chrome Silicon Torsion Springs concealed inside a centralized ‘box’ component with an innovative truck assembly design allowing for a ‘clean’ and condensed suspension system that is a unique and ideal nexus of form and function.
The SHOCBOX Hub Drive is also compatible with the factory DKP truck pivot and base plate of the Ranger X3.
The system offers quick installation onto a board with easy removal of the factory truck hangers without having to remove the original factory truck pivot and base plates. Simply take the existing hangers and wheels off the board (hub-motor wheels in the rear), install the SHOCBOX Hub Drive on the factory DKP pivot and base plate components (or upgraded SBS DKP/ SBS TKP*), reattach the wheels – done!
The SHOCBOX boasts another feature with the implementation of replaceable wheel axles. Four independent high-strength alloy steel wheel axles are seated inside precise 10mm bores and secured utilizing a fastener at each separate axle location allowing for easy removal and installation. New wheel axle sets are also available as a separate purchase to replace a damaged axle.
*compatible DKP & TKP Truck Pivot and Base Plate assemblies are available as an upgrade or new selection for purchase separately here, SBS DKP / SBS TKP, or from the home page drop-down menu
