so many choices in trucks these days

I really like the use of staight lines and angles

**Rouleau** · 05-22-2009 06:40 AM

Angle of the baseplate?

you guys could've had that set-up two years ago had you bought Magun and R-bros.

They pretty much have ridden this setup but have opted for bombsquad boards and creating a quality truck with a new feel.

This thread kicks may-hor a-pozo
Sweet looking trucks FTW.

Is it a front and rear trucks geometry wise, or because of reverse thread on certain sides for screw in axles that make it self tightening?

**green** · 05-22-2009 11:42 AM

Geometry .

**tomes** · 05-22-2009 12:00 PM

Max said it.

its really hard to find new attributes to trucks now days, so using other ones to compare them to is just easy, especially when explaining it to noobs that know nothing about precisions and when trying to get an idea of how they would ride.

so if it annoys you, ignore it like the rest of us...

only thing was didn't know about the front and back from the pics. not much to work with...

jimz do not have double sphericals. one in the hanger. you are correct on the other accounts i suppose. and yeah, i guess i get what you're saying, but i can just as easily make a list:

longer axles
more severe offset
bushing seats, etc.

i suppose i just want to make the point that people like to talk about the noticeable differences in paris and randal 180's when it's almost all in the bushing seat (though there are of course other differences) and yet here, where i would certainly make the argument that there are far more significant differences, we get that ever ready response of "basically a cnc randal"

thanks for an actual response though, i can see your point and agree to an extent.

Is the front more or less offset then the rear? And are the front and rear heights the same with this offset difference?

**Everett McCord** · 05-22-2009 05:35 PM

oh wow... how much? I will definitely pick up a set when these come out. Abosolutely positively interesed.

**jdodzilla** · 05-22-2009 05:47 PM

damn, was I the only one who came here expecting to see a pair of trucks made of chocolate? Even though these look like pretty awesome trucks, I was still disappointed that they were made of metal....

the front is less offset then the rear and the heights are the same

They should be anodized/powder coated brown.

they look like a cnc version of a randal from the pics. that is all we had to work with. just remember BASICALLY=/=THE EXACT SAME. randals are more offset than you think, almost to the extent of magunz. i dont really care if you agree with me or not. the only "significant" differences i see between these and a flipped randal are the difference in rake between front and back, which will basically allow for slightly more grip in the tail; possibly a stepped and more restrictive bushing seat, and slightly wider. honestly, those differences arent really that significant. they only change the way they ride slightly and which bushings you'll need to use. i'd say they're pretty damn comparable to the feel of flipped randals.

edit: and this is just a discussion guys, i'm not arguing with him, and it pertains to the trucks so it stayed here. so dont get your panties in a bunch.
