    Default Trucks for the minicarve

    Alright, I am looking for a set of trucks that will make my minicarve into a sick cruiser/carver, no bombing necessary. I was thinking of the following:
    A) Tracker RTS/RTX combo in widest
    B) Exkate 101s

    I will be running this setup with Avilas (probably) or flashbacks, if that helps any. How tall are the Exkates, anyway?

    Exkate 101's with soft bushings. They're pretty tall, I'd say about as high as any truck with a decent size riser.

    Hmmmm... that is pretty tall, and I don't exactly want that, but whatever...
    Anyone else?

    I am using randals right now, but I think it is time to try something new. (Translation: I have cash, where do I lose it)

    I've had Tracker 149s on it, and Tracker 85mm on it, but I slapped some Original Super 6s on it, and MAN is it INSANE. If you wanna turn turn turn, and be able to just whip it as hard as you can & just SLIIIIIIIIIIIIIDE when you got 85+ wheels. Its SO nice. If you're for some reason NOT gonna try that out, either kill yerself or get some R-150s with some Khiro white 65a bushings.

    Note: Stock Original hardware does NOT fit normal mounting holes.

    They're easy to mount, but the mounting hardware that they provide only fits on their decks and risers. So, you'd have to buy your on set...
