Trackers

[solachola0]

the rear truck on my new board had a big chip out of the casting
behind the kingpin...probably chunked off while being 'tuned' ha ha...

that this could be a rust problem is evident...anyone know a good
metal filler?

oh, don't bother suggesting i take the issue to Gravity or Tracker...
neither is interested nor helpful...

it's getting just a little tiring this attitude of skate companies behaving
like they're doing you a favor by guaranteeing or fixing
the broke products they sell you....

so maybe the plating being cracked isn't technically 'broke', but it's
not what you'd expect for a set of new trucks either....

is it?

[special ed]

Yeah the B-2s on my concave carve have the same issue... the rear truck has a fault in the casting that exposes the axle.

I haven't noticed any problems because of it, but I didn't really think about it until you brought it up just now. Yeah it could cause some rust problems... damn.

Well, keep em clean. I will.

Somthing tells me this is what to expect from a new set of trackers. Sigh.

I have the same problem with my b-2's and i had them for about 6 months and havent noticed any thing bad regarding the exposed axle, my suggestion would to just keep um clean

[longboardbuddha]

pammy get a gauge or a ruler on each axle end and measure to the hanger to see if the axles are the same each side...if not get them in a vice and tap them true....and dont worry about the hole as mine are the same and i've had mine about 3-4 years or so cracked 40 plus on them with no probs

I have the B-2's and I have the same problems with them, they don't seem to effect it too badly. No rust and I've had them for quite a while.

Sounds like a bummer. However, when the white bushings on my DART 219's squished out after one session, I was a little burned. After all, I had to wait seven days to get them from the Left Coast and then.....frustration. Tracker, I'm afraid is not the company that I remember from the last century. However, I did call and fussed about it. They sent me some red bushings for free.

Good luck.

it sounds like tracker has said,this is what you get,dont like it ,to bad.
i would raise cain with them over the quality over there trucks.
it seems like a few people here have problems with tracker.i dont think i'll buy a set till i here some good about them.maybe they need a lesson from there custermers.a lot of letters from them and other skaters.

[steveisgreat22]

Im not saying that trackers are really bad, but they just need to put some more time into their products.

the new tracker sixtracks are killer
a little wider than 166's
slightly steeper angle than the sixtracks of yore
plenty beefy
turn nice
and the new Superball bushings are quite nice as well

also have had a set of 149 darts for a while now with no problems
they have been ground pretty hard and have held up fine.
