gullwings are by sector9 and they suck other than chargers. thats why everyone hates sectors', cause the trucks! paris and randalls are both very good. Paris kicks chargers ass and is better built than randalls in my opinion.

depending on you and your bushings, each truck could out perform the other on any given day.

Paris hands down. The way they are cast/painted are just cleaner. Plus Paris has the inverted king pin built in which is a mod you will end up doing later with the Randals.

And you can't invert the kingpin on any other Randal style truck?

You'll be very pleased with the paris'. Great for cruising and pumping, have a clean design, and look great.

i have both

get the paris- no real complaints just need to change the stock bushing,

although the chargers have a nice ride, the quality of the truck is really bad, mine came with a stratched axle thread, the coating on the pivot and the bushing seats are kind of annoying since it makes the pivot cup wear down so fast and the bushing seats are uneven, you should probably sand them off there, and then the kingpin hits the bushing seat so its wearing away there too
