Green Stims???

**theoreticalcrab** · 12-01-2004 04:30 PM

Heh, I'm gonna love it if these are.

I just won some NOS Tracker Aggro Quicktracks off eBay, and they come with green tracker urethane bushings...

Are these stims? or am I just being hopeful? They are like the trackers in this thread http://www.silverfishlongboarding.co...pic.php?t=8645

I'm right in thinking Tracker never made any other green urthane bushing, apart from the Superballs and if I'm thinkning straight they were kinda translucent.

These are made completely from aluminium, and judging from what was said in the above thread they'll suite my sliding board quite nicely...

Thoughts?

The bottom one is a green Stimulator and the top one is the "we don't know if it's a rare top-Stim". You will be required to resolve our ignorance upon receipt of your trucks.

w00t I'm a happy man.

Are all green stims the same duro? I might be imagining things, but I'm sure I've read on here somewhere that the different colours came in different duro's as well. Or am I hallucinating??

**pinbal_wizzard** · 12-01-2004 05:01 PM

green stims are 88a, or 85a, i cant remeber right, but yes, all green ones are the smae, just as al yellow are the same and all blue are the same.

Ahh, cheers I'm pretty new to the whole stimulator thang

**Michael Billings** · 12-01-2004 05:12 PM

There is a place that still has a bunch of Green Stims left, I believe...

**theoreticalcrab** · 12-01-2004 05:21 PM

I think Civ said he has loads, dunno if he's selling them

I just worked out where your avatar's from

funniest thing I've ever seen

**Mile_High_Mark** · 12-01-2004 06:44 PM

If they're like all the other NOS Aggro's I've seen, those are yellow Stim's. Yellows were 75a, greens 85a, and blue are 92a. There were, however, a small number of 85's that were poured in yellow and/or vice-versa (I can't remember the exact details).

BTW, Aggro's are kick-arse trucks. Probably some of THE best park/bowl/ramp trucks ever made. I have two sets (red, blue), and if it weren't for Seismics, those would be what would be on my boards.

I think the thing was that once they screwed up and pored the softer compound in the green color, but a slightly lighter shade of green (but definitely more green looking than the yellow it was supposed to be) - you can recognize them when you see them. I have one stim that is one of these screw ups. It's way softer than my other green stims.

im really sorry to bump this old thread, but I'm about to purchase some NOS trucks for bowl/park/vert board and I didnt know which ones.
I have the option of:
-Tracker sixtracks (originals with thick metal baseplate)
-Tracker aggro quicktracks
and
-Gullwing sidewinders

please help, somebody!

MHM's post about the Aggros should give you a hint..

**bruekiller** · 07-14-2010 08:50 AM

well the thing is, these ones are Aggro Quicktracks. is there any difference?
also ive heard that some old aggros have a free floating axle?

**bruekiller** · 07-14-2010 09:24 AM

I think I may just buy the Aggro Quicktracks and Gullwing sidewinders.
that way im stocked up on nice old trucks for a while.

heres links to the two of them, maybe take a look.

Aggros are some of sickest trucks around.

i wouldnt buy em if they were over $40-50 tho. theyll just get thrashed. buy indys instead, then

**bruekiller** · 07-14-2010 07:24 PM

Yeah, well the aggros are $44. Not too bad of a price.
I would get Indy's but they're just so boring haha. I would get Indy 215's but they're so scrawny and look like they couldn't take a beating.
I need somethin beefy!

**Mile_High_Mark** · 07-14-2010 07:28 PM

I liked Aggro's until I made--and rode--my first pair of Hybrids.

**Petary791** · 07-14-2010 08:40 PM

I have some old Gullwing Sidewinders and they turn so much, more than Indys for sure. I would feel bad thrashing older trucks but on my carvey slashy board it's so fun.

**bruekiller** · 07-15-2010 04:15 PM

yeah, I dont really care about thrashing NOS gear, theyre skateboard trucks and I intend to ride them.
I really want gullwing sidewinders or pro 3's, I think im gonna buy both. maybe a couple sets.
theyre great trucks for pool/park/vert skating. my only thing is that neither of them come with metal baseplates.
its easy to get metal plates on the sidewinders, I can just switch them out with plates from gullwing slick 850's no problem, it should be a perfect fit.
but the pro 3's are a bit of a challenge. I think they should fit on some of my tracker dart baseplates but im not entirely sure about that one
