What do Royal plates do?

[VivaLaDan]

What do Royal plates do?

Same thing core plates do, minus the fact that I didn't pay for them. Drop the kingpin, throw in some stock randal KP's and redrill the plates so that they are old school. I dig it.

Do you have to hammer it out or it just comes out?

pop it in the oven or use a heat gun for a few minutes and then hammer it out. heating the original pin just expands the material so it makes it a bit easier to bang out.

[VivaLaDan]

You have to hammer it, but its not like an Indy kingpin that you have to bash the #### out of.

it takes a few swift hits, then it just pops right out. How ever, its a lot harder to get a kingpin to go all the way inside the nut well, but its recessed enough that you can still mount it without a problem, i just have to hold the kinpin sometimes while tightening/ loosening.



I mean I wouldn't recomend them if you're looking to buy some plates, in that case i'd probably go with cores. I just happened to have 5+ sets of old indy-style trucks laying around, and the Royal plates had enough room to drill, and also had a standard kingpin that could be removed. I would be rockin on indy plates if the kingpin slot was molded for standard bolts and not what ever the #### indy uses.

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to VivaLaDan again.

Haha thank you for the info. I was about to go buy an old set from a kid down the block. The exchange rate is mighty fine right now so I think I'll splurge a little on some Cores.

Nice, I have pretty much the same setup, only with bears. If you can get your setup to be loose, but still stop at the wheel bite point, it becomes rediculous for sliding. Not even funny how easy it is.

Yes, his nuts are indeed very big.

Gray 5-ply. And please don't torture me by asking how it rides. Need to buy, trade for or steal some trucks.

I rode some g-bones fresh in the rain and still chunked 'em. Great wheels other than that though.
