    Default loaded ceviche, questions on truck placements

    so I litally just opened my ceviche an hour ago and I cant describe how happy i am right now, I took it for a lil 5 min test run, (purple otang 4pres and paris 150s and khiro bushings).

    So the ceviche has 2 different places for both front and back trucks to be placed. The front could either be put closer or farthur from the nose and same thing for the back.

    What differences to the ride would this make? I want to be able to carve hard but I also want it to be stable enough to take down some decent hills. about 20 to maybe 25mph.

    If you cuold help me out with the truck placements let me know..

    Alsooooo when I rode the board for about an hour today it was extremely turny, It kind of was like riding an 'original longboard' (company not adjective). I went on a really slow hill about 10-15 mph and i felt very unstable.

    I have paris 150s and khiro medium soft bushings 85a. the kingpin is very stubborn when i try to tighten it, its like its the tightest its going to get even tough its riding very turny. Im used to a rayne hustler with randal 150s stock bushings so maybe im just used to tighter trucks but im pretty sure these were preeety freakin loose. Any advice? should I put the stock bushings of the paris on the top parts of the trucks and keep the khiros on the bottom part for a more stable ride?

    thanks

    Just play around with it!

    I ride it with both trucks set in the back-most position.
    Feels a little snappier for ollies and lots of leverage to work with on the nose

    aaaaaand depending on the trucks, the back-most for the rear truck might leave an awkward gap because of the tail...
    i'd keep that in mind

    If you run the largest wheel base, the ride will be a little more stable, and the smallest WB would be a little turnier. I'd reccomend putting the front truck on the inner most holes because I like the feeling of having the truck close to my foot. The back one however, i have no opinion on... sorry.
