    Default cheap Indys?

    So where can I get the cheapest set of Indy 215's (same size as Randal 180's)?

    I'm liking these trucks for flatland cruising boards...they seem lighter and slightly lower than the Randals. And for flatland Randals are kind of overkill for me.

    i dont know where to get them cheap but i totaly agree with you on the point of indys being much nicer for flat land, i dont like randals below about 15 mph they just seem odd but indys ride nicely at all speeds(untill your bombing past 40)

    People often overlook indys but if you're not doing any speedboarding or super hard carving indys are great. For crusing/carving boards they're fantastic trucks.

    I've been up to 40 on my indys no problem. Just had to tighten them a little. But I have very stable feet and I'm not prone to wobbling when I bomb though.

    Tracker Dart 219s are better..

    And if you buy em from MHS, they're about $3 cheaper than the Indys.
    Stick some black Hourglass bushings or red Indy bushings in em, they'll DESTROY.

    Yeah Crass, I have heard some good things about those Trackers. Are the 219's the same width as say a 180 Randal?

    Tracker 184s are the ones that are the same size as 215s (both are roughly the same size as 180s)
    219's are bigger... about 11" axle width
    Longboard is not a verb.

    I list all the actual axle/hanger sizes on my site. That's the best way to compare, as everyone names things differently.

    Mark what is your opinion on the Darts vs the Indys? Pros and cons?

    Indy's start their turn "quicker," and then "slow down."
    Tracker's start their turn "slower," and then get "quicker."

    The Trackers will feel more "stable," but can be wedged to "quicken" them up.
