Default Supercharger vs KS Scimmy

Right now I have a Supercharger with indy 215's and earthwing 70mms. I plan on getting a KS Scimmy with either big zigs or flywheels sometime in the near future. Whichever one would make a better downhill board I will put the randals and bigzig/flywheels on, and indys on the other. So which would make a better downhill board??

It all depends.
If it was me, I'd leave the Indys on the Charger. You gotta love that setup.

Neither of those are downhill boards. Set up your super charger with indy's and 70mm wheels then get a dedicated downhill board from a company like landyachtz, kebbek, or rayne and set it up with 42 degree randals.

+1
Randal 42s + a fairly stiff board with a 30" wheelbase or better. You can't go wrong.
