what are the best trucks and bushings for carving on a flexdex grenade?

[sumosun]

Hi, am new.

I have a flexdex grenade stock and it is a lot of fun to ride. I was wondering what would be the best trucks and bushings to get that would allow me to carve more. Thanks so much for any advice!

im assuming the 23in? bennett 4.3's and retros, how much do you weigh?

if youre talking about the 29in, bennett 5.0's and retros, how much do you weigh?

Paris 150mm and Retro Zigs.

Or Gullwing Chargers and Retro Zigs.

Or 4 Pres wheels.

Possibilities are endless for carving. I would say to try some sidewinders, but it kind of sucks to have a short board that sits like a monster truck. If you don't mind pumping from 5" from the ground or so.

I like Paris Trucks with no bottom washer, and Holey Smoke (hourglass bushings.)

I'd say go with some bennett 4.3's or tracker rtx/s. I think it feels a little better with the slightly longer wheelbase (axle to axle) that a conventional truck gives

I am 6'1 and 195 pounds, pretty big for a little 23 incher hahah

[Looptail]

Small Bennett front;
Small Tracker RTS rear;
Square-edged wheels like ZigZags, and the confusingly labelled 3DM/ Seismic/ Tunnel/ Cambria wheels.

what is the difference between bennett 4.3 and 5.0? are they different sizes?

[Rarrazz]

So I've tried a bunch of different set ups on a 23" grenade..
For trucks I've tried:
- 4.3bennett/rts 139
- two 4.3 bennetts
- randal 125's
Wheels:
60mm/81a No skoolz
66mm/78a(retro red) zigzags

My favorite set up for an insanely carvy board was the bennetts/zigzags, but my arcane mini was just so much better that that setup went right back on to it, heh.
I ended up setting the grenade up as a rain board, and used the randals/no skoolz, and that as pretty fun to just mess around with whipping out slides all over the place in the rain.

But... right now my grenade is sitting around, not set up, because I never really liked it much.

what is the difference between bennett 4.3 and 5.0? are they different sizes?

Yes. The 4.3 has a 4.3" hanger, and the 5.0 has a 5.0" hanger.

Randal 125s. Brilliant trucks for small wheelbases

[sumosun]

thanks for all the advice!

So would the bennetts 4.3 be a big difference in carving in comparison to my stock mission 1 gullwing trucks?

[Boldiesoverbasra]

They will be quick turning compared to the gullwings. Go the large, mate.

what bushings are the best for carving? What bushings are the softest?
