CNC'd and Performance DH Trucks

**Aaron Breetwor** · 07-26-2008 09:46 AM

My questions are as follows:
1. Do the Talon hangars fit Pogo baseplates?
2. Do Talons perform to their highest capabilities when dropped through (such as on a Rayne Hellcat or Demonseed)?
3. I know that the hangar itself is 159mm wide, but what width does each of the different axels make the truck?
4. Can I buy more than two baseplates? (35,45,and 55)
5. Would it make more sense to buy the 5° wedges rather than multiple baseplates? Are the Wedges available?
6. Are Radikal Talon hangars available right now?
7. Are Radikal Talon baseplates available right now?
8. Are the Radikal bushings available right now?

Any help you can give me is greatly appreciated.

If you have the money...

Get some Confederates (If you can find any at the moment). They're incredible and I've taken mine way over 60mph with no problems, HUGE + 1 for Confederates.

Confucius, the guy who makes confeds, has been out of contact for quite some time as far as I know. I would love to get some, but I dont think its possible right now. How much are they again?

Best trucks I've ever tried. I own a set of Confed v.2s. Amazing trucks if you can find them.

i know maguns are really expensive, and i have heard good things about kahalanis, what do you think about those.

I can't speak about the Kookys, or certain other trucks, but I can vouch for the Talons.
They are a little tall.........and they are turny.
I have them on a flushcut Subsonic Reflex dropdeck, that allows for the proper clearance.
They can always be stiffened up by using firm/very firm bushings.

so if i understand correctly all precision do is give you a better feel of the road and make turning feel better
they dont sound very practical seeing as all the hills here have either gravel or uneven payment

**cjbliss** · 08-12-2008 10:39 PM

I think you are mistaken... as far as i know they are not split axle..

The axles are milled a certain way (hourglass shape) so that it can rest within the hanger incredibly close to the kingpin intersection.

if they're milled in an hourglass shape how do they set them into the hanger? really interesting stuff. from looking at them that doesn't seem necessary, but im not a materials scientist or an engineer
