am i the only person who doesnt like trackers?

**aaaaaaagh** · 09-27-2005 02:07 PM

i do not like trackers trucks.
1. when i got mine in th email that had already begun to rust on the hangar
2. they have a cheap coating on the hangar. which is why they rusted
3. the base plates were not flat
4. the axle was not centered
5. the holes where not drilled well

and overall i just dont like them, am i alone in this or have other people gotten bad trucks also.

The hanger and baseplate are aluminum alloy, which doesn't rust. Some of the "raw" finished models have some discoloration, but it can be polished out with some steel wool or a Scotchbrite pad.

ummm....that doesnt sound like trackers at all. all the trackerxs ive seen are nice and clean, drilled correctly, everything is centered, and there was aposlutly no rust. even after my dadleft his board outside on accident and the famous coastal fog of southern california molested it there was no rust.

you my friend have some bad trucks....ask the company to trade you trucks because yours cam brand new ruined.

and i wanna see some pictures, for i dont beleive this.

did you buy them from streetboardz? seriously, thats not tracker at all.

**Michael Billings** · 09-27-2005 09:05 PM

I don't like trackers, but just because I find Indy's better...

**atxjimatx** · 09-27-2005 11:06 PM

I like the slalom trucks ok; but don't really care for the way their "normal" trucks ride....

**bean-a-reano** · 09-28-2005 03:41 AM

Are you sure they don't say RANDAL on them?

**crawdad62** · 09-28-2005 10:06 AM

A lot of people don't like Trackers but not for the reasons you give. I think you got some knock-offs or something.

They didn't happen to come with a free Louis Vuitton bag did they?

Agreed. The Tracker-made Orions ride pretty well, but they're basically Indy copies.

Still, my favorite conventional trucks are the Cores and Destructo's.

I like the way trackers function, but there qualty is a notch down from indy for sure.

the 2 things that bug me the most is the fact that the axles are almost never centered, and the fact that the bushing seats kinda suck.

With that said, I ride trackers almost everyday.

My 3 pairs of RTS/x combo and six tracks are way better made than my 215s. However the 215s are stage 9.
