Randall Help! 42 or 50 degrees?

[goodcharlotte_fan13]

So right now I have a Bustin Cigar longboard which I dont like cus of wheelbite, with some randals and 83a stimulus. Im thinking of buying a new board (Probably Landyachtz switch) and Im wondering how do I know which randals to get. When I bought my cigar the website only gave me the option of buying randalls but didnt tell me the Degrees like a lot of longboard sites do. When I check on stoked longboards i have the option of choosing which Randalls with what degrees i want. So my question is how do I know what degrees my trucks that I own are? Because I like them and dont wanna get the wrong ones for the next board i buy.

o cant believe I never thought of that! Thanks! Turns out i have the 42 degree randalls on my board. Generally is their a difference between 42 degrees and 50 degrees performance? is one more stable and one better for carving?

42 is generally regarded as the best all round truck randal make. I'm sure someone will dissagree, but if you like them, I'd stick with them. My fav is the Randal 35, but the next board I'm getting is gonna have randal 42s and I prefer them over my smokies which are like 5 times the price.

btw I use Daddies because they are 100% reliable, with shipping to Spain. I have tried other internet companies in the USA, with really bad results, one of my boards ended up in the Cayman Islands, instead of Canary Islands (Spain), and one didn't arrive at all. They may be a little more expensive, but they are reliable.

OT: +1 for Daddies. 100% reliable shipping to the Philippines as well

The 42º trucks will have a greater "lean to turn" ratio. Which translates into less twitch at speed and being able to push into standy's harder. 50º trucks are great carvers, but work well for DH on very long boards. It really depends on the deck and the rider as to which one you should pick. If you are used to 42's , stick with them.

If you don't know, get 50*.

So get 50 degree, you won't regret it.

[goodcharlotte_fan13]

Thanks everyone for the help. I'll probably stick with the 42 degrees cus im already used to them and like them. But anyone have any opinions on the Landyachtz switch? will I be able to learn to slide on it?

[luftywaffles]

That's completely up to you.

you will have more fun on the 50s.
that is all.

2nd'd. Unless you plan on going 30+mph often go with 50* plates.

^I'd even say 40 consistantly
