Sometimes I wish they did, but no.
You will have to wedge a RT-X more to get the turning close to a Bennett. Still, it's a very different feel. An RT-X will work for LDP, but for an extra few bucks I'd just get the 4.3 or 5.0 Bennett.

by how much wedging do i need to get close to bennett?
what is so special about bennett trucks that make the truck feel and performance differrent from any other trucks?

as for architecture, the closest thing to bennett is probably an ACS 500. there are many differences between these and tracker that change the lean to turn ratio.

you could wedge an RT-X about 20 degrees to get it feeling like a 15-degree bennett. that's a subjective estimate, but a few years back, Brad Jackman helped us get an RT-X to work almost like a bennett. RT-X is a good entry-level slalom truck because it is stable at speed, and up around 20mph that's where its faster turning comes alive.

in contrast, a front bennett when set up with the right bushings for your weight, gives you a fast turn way down in the low end, around 10-18mph. that's the range of speed you're going to spend a huge part of your time in LDP. for wedging a bennett, here's some good tips from a variety of experienced riders:

Hmm, okey. I want to check out oldschool skating. And I saw those RT-X' the Bennets and Tracker 85mm. That sure is tight, but how will I know which truck that will have the sharpest turn and most old school feeling?

Thanks for answers.

old school feeling? bennets, they are still the same as they were in the seventies, i think

yep, just with much better baseplates!
