it will all have to do with quantity and at the moment Im only making 8 full sets.
The price will be calulated at the end,And they will be for worth it, imho.

but they will be around the same as other CNC trucks on the market.
, you will hear about it when they are done,
but for now I just want to know what people are interested in having,.

im guessing there gonna be called "kooky trucks" or something??

you should get it engraved into the hanger, like the khalani ones do. but might make it more expensive but yeh.. just an idea

fair call kook, like i said though- i'd love a set on my new speedboard....all its light weight CF goodness would be a suitable place for 42* 200mm CnC hangars.

kinda taking a piss here.. but here goes..

the 200mm hanger will mean more stable, but requires more lean but the oval bushing seats will allow the bushing to contort further, therefor canceling out the extra lean required.

am i right?

if i am, then you'll be more stable with the same turning capabilities as a shorter hanger. and the extra length will make it look alot cooler too. feel free to criticise the above statement

Pino, if you haven't already - read the width section in the Randal FAQ


It all comes down to foot positioning and the board width to access it.

A wider hanger will be more stable in a toes forward tuck, but will require more foot movement to access full lean. However it will be possible.
wide hangers are a great way to increase center stability without tightening your trucks or lowering the board further. Both of which reduce traction.

pino I dont need to know how the things work, sort of got that part down,

just wondering if its a fad thing thats all,
for me I like the 190s and think thats plenty of stability,etc

It just seems to be popping up ( why isnt there 200s out there)
and if thats what people want , then maybe I can make a contabution to the skate world.

So it looks like I`ll go with the 200s so far,,

I guess you could call me a designer. I've not worn one hat for long so to speak.

Helped design a game (Escape Velocity-Nova), designed fonts, made 3D models of houses, done graphic design, working for Randal/Breamo a bit at the moment, and doing a jewelry course at tafe...
