    Default Are Randals really more stable?

    well, ive finally got enough money to buy some new trucks. im looking for something that will turn better but stll be as stable as my old trucks. Ive been riding some no- name 180 indy style trucks and im wondering if randals are really more turny AND more stable. Ive only got one board so i need something that i can bomb down hills at 25-30 mph and still carve around on the flats. With my trucks now I have them as loose as possible without the washers making noise, and i have never had speed wobbles, and ive gotten to 30 mph without tightening the trucks at all. im wondering if i upgrade to randals, if i will have any trouble with stability? My deck is a 46" pintail and im riding 70mm wheels.

    take some time and get used to them before going 30 or 35. they will definitely need some adjusting.

    No you should be fine. I say go with Gearguys. Cheap price free shipping. What more can you ask for. Oh ya and you can get a discount if you have the new buyers guide it has some code in there i beleive.

    I'm sold out of 180's. More are hopefully coming soon.

    Everyone who sells Randals gets the same quality. Some of the trucks will have "issues," and some won't.

    Yes, but there's a limit on exactly how much backing one can offer. If something's grossly out of whack, I'll replace it. But when so many of the trucks have minor issues, it's hard to offer a "better" replacement.
