Keep it with the 35* plates, it's the OG Evo setup.
+1.
The narrower hangers and the dead rear make it a downhill machine. You'll get great grip (for a lowered board) with lime Zigs or Bigzigs on those 160mm hangers.
Like a stretched and lowered slalom rig.
I don't know much about the evo's, i've just gotten into DH last summer.
My friend came by last night and gave me this evo and said "I don't have much use for this deck and trucks (randal DH's) anymore so it's yours, have fun".
So I have two questions,
What year model is this deck? And, will 3" KP's be long enough for Venom barrels to fit these trucks?
Thanks.
3" kp is good for the dh 35* bp
but for the R-II 50* if you get it you need 2.75" or it will be too long.
Trust me I've had to saw down 3 3" kp cause they were to long for the 50* plates

That is entirely sick. Since it says "custom", you did that yourself I take it?
Nice...er, diagram too.
Thanks! Yessirr. It used to look like this:
I also want to put a Landyachtz sticker on it. Kinda like the Carbon Evo.
Haha thanks, I thought so too. I always have people asking about my bushing and bp setup so that is an easyer way to see it.
edit: I actualy just got rep for it! lol

Really? My 2.75" KP in my 50* plate isn't long enough to fit two washers and two bushings on without either having the nut on too loose (rubber piece isn't holding the nut on) or the bushings being tightened down too much for my liking.
Gonna grab a couple 3" KPs tomorrow and some extra 2.75" KPs.
what used to be of my evo
bear front charger back.reason i used a charger in the back because they felt dead and my front truck got ran over i'm lucky it was only the front truck.
sanded
chargers on 52 90a conicals top all around 90a barrel bottom all around

no, stop repeating your question over and over. 40* trucks sounds like a great plan and grab a good bunch of bushings to play with instead.
then if you don't like the stalkers even with good bushings you can swap out for better trucks and still have a bunch of bushings, instead of just having two sets of trucks with shitty bushings (randals and gullwings, say)

ok i just wanted to see if anyone else had them calm down
FWIW I think those trucks SHOULD (unless they're shitty and don't pivot or something) be pretty tits on your Evo. 40* trucks and 170mm width is a pretty good fit for that board.
