    Default randal rII or wedged tracker darts

    gonna be putting together a long plank, 60" x 10", probably flat with a little flex. i got that and big soft wheels for cruising, board walking and carving. the only thing i havent figured out is the trucks. i can either use 180mm rII's or 184mm tracker darts with wedges. ive ridden trackers on a pool deck and randal 150's on a pintail, and i like both. but what would you guys pick. i want it to be not so tipsy, so i can cross step, but not so rigid that i cant carve. i think the carving ability is more important to me. ive heard some good things about wedging trackers, but ive never ridden them like that.

    wedged trackers will probably be lower to the ground, and make a big thing like that easier to push

    I have several boards in that size range, one with RII's, one with Tracker Darts (no wedges, just fine tuned with new bushings) and one with Revenges. Trackers are definitely my favorite all-around. The Revenges are a close second with the Randalls a distant 3rd. I wouldn't buy the RII's again and in fact would trade them for some Darts in a heartbeat!

    Trackers with a blue bones hardcores all the way around will knock your socks off.

    Trackers definitely.

    Trackers feel great, especially if you get em with hourglass shaped lower bushings.

    I got my first set of Randals a week ago and would merely say this: Their quality of manufacture is so abysmally low that they don't deserve your business.

    I second the Revenges. I got them on a 60" by 11". I had R2 180's on there, and its a hell of alot better with the Revenge trucks.

    My Tracker Dart 184s with green Stims and Radikal bushings are both lower, and turn tighter than the R2 180s I ran on the same deck. A sanding drum for a drill helped me put some nice wheel wells into my deck, but boy is this a nice combo I'd reccomend some red or clear Radikals for the Stim feel without the price tag.
