Arrow Black Trucks Randals or Chargers?

I'm planning on buying a new Longboard, I've decided on a dervish with orangatang wheels, and I really like black trucks. So I'm thinking of ether getting black chargers or the new black randal 180 RII.
I haven't tryed any of them, so I was wondering should I get RANDALS or CHARGERS??

Thanx.

Randals. They have been greatly improved since that article was written, better craftsmanship, precision, the axles are stronger because of extra heat treatment, widened bushing area, and new stock bushings are on the way with flat washers. PLUS, they are made in the USA

I vote Chargers, i'm not a fan of Randals for carving (or anything really), I haven't had good experiences with them unless you get the PERFECT bushing setup. Randals are good, I just don't like them.

You actually want Bear 852's in black. Carvy, stable and good stock bushings.

if you think about it alot of the 180mm longboard trucks come in black. you have paris, randal, charger, crail i'm sure there's others as well. If the choice is there and you're ordering online where they have a wider variety than say a shop might, then why not?

Dude Randals all the way! The new ones are built way better. The bushing, imo, are not the best but, also not the worst. The only reason I would not go with Charers is because they seem to not be made very well these days. And Randals carve really great and handel speed really well too imo.

Now just do it! Get Randals!
