    Default Mini-board truck suggustions

    After some intense, several hour long searching I've changed my post, hopefully some more people can shed some light.

    The board is 22" long, 8.5" wide at it's widest point, tapers to about 7.5" at the axels.
    Looking at about a 15" axel to axel wheel base.

    I will be using Retro ZigZag 66mm wheels, and i would like the wheels to stick out from the deck a bit, but not so much that I can see the hanger..

    looking at:
    1. Tracker Mid-tracks
    2. Tracker RT-X all around
    3. Taking suggustions

    Trying to keep the board symmetrical, do RT-X's work well as an all around truck? I suggust that because the Mid-Tracks don't seem to be the easiest truck to find, unless someone can prove to me otherwise.

    yea, i'm so excited to get this thing up and running. Just gota get my first paycheck for my internship, and I'll be golden to put in a big order for a complete set of crap, probably to mark.


    I've been leaning towards the 149 RTX's all around, since I already have R2 150's, i think it'd be foolish to buy a second pair before trying something else. Most people suggust RTX's up front and RTS's in the back, but I think I want this board to be symmetric. Does this work well?

    If you want symmetry, get some tracker midtracks. I use them on my 27 in. banana board. They work great.

    They have only 85mm wide hangers, and the axles are something like under 7" wide. On a board like you have, that will be way too "tippy". It will turn hard as hell, though. I'd suggest something like the 139mm RT-X/S combo, maybe even 149mm. Wedged with proper bushings, of course. They'll carve and pump really nicely.

    ^ i've been thinking about that. Is there any real bad dissadvantage to running the RTX's all around to try and keep some symmetry? The actual deck is symmetric, it'd be nice to be able to jump on it any dirrection and get the same feel.
