CNC'd and Performance DH Trucks

**worldridr768** · 01-01-2008 10:00 PM

I used to ride mine dropped through on my CLB Double-D. I took it to some big hills, but anything with a sharp turn i would sometimes overdrift or get highsided and fall. I topmounted them for better grip and they feel awesome.

Yes, it can be done, but you sacrifice grip.

What the BLEEP are these?! I found them while searching for pictures of Maguns.

**cjbliss** · 01-05-2008 05:22 PM

oh and does anyone have some good pictures on maguns? I'm looking to CNC my own baseplates and hangers at my university and I'm gathering ideas from everywhere for my design.

Those are PVD's I love mine!! They are by far the most advanced truck ,and grip like no other as a rear slalom truck!! Peter Verdone made very limited numbers and hasn't made any new ones in a few years!

One day while trawling the internet for pictures of PVDs, i saw a picture of a wide set of pvds on a luge or buttboard. the would be awesome for downhill

**Ogre** · 01-05-2008 05:54 PM

Like Radikals Peter made different length axles. I have all the lengths, but the downhill.

**Basch** · 01-05-2008 07:37 PM

Maguns have a 200mm hanger, not axle. And I tghought they were flippable

And a good pic

+ there's a difference between the front and reartruck

Whats the difference? I'm trying to design my own trucks and I'm doing my research.

The axles thread in different front and back so as not to twist out from normal riding use. Every axle is either threaded forward or backward so as to make it impossible for the turning of the wheels in the forward direction to unscrew your axles.

oh magun axles screw in and out?

**charlietidd** · 01-08-2008 07:58 PM

Maguns can be flipped. I have tried it and ridden them like that
It's very strange but not necessarily bad.

**SteveC** · 01-08-2008 07:59 PM

Sounds like the left side is left hand threaded?

**kookyfish** · 01-30-2008 11:39 PM

do they have lock tight or just threaded in,

axle offset
pivot to kingpin center
kingpin center to axle center
axle center to bottom of baseplate
axle center to inner bolt-hole

Edit
I also thought this would live happily here.

these photo's still give me a grin, Thanks A-Drain!

i see you have some randal comp II how are they

**Racer128** · 03-07-2008 07:33 PM

which are lower: kahalanis or smokies? If I put precision trucks on my avenger, lower is better, since it is a topmount, but since the kahalanis are wider, they might be better because wheelbite would be less of an issue. Any firsthand experience? Recommendations?
