Default those things that hold the wheelies in place

Okay so I’m using 42 Randal’s right now. But I want to upgrade but I still don’t want to spend money on jimz or on landy. What would u suggest for a low budget baller like me ha-ha thanks for the help.im looking to spend no more than 100. And I probably won’t be doing any comp racing.

Yeah muck about with bushings, they're a massive part of a trucks performance.

bushings pretty much define a truck.. cause with shitty bushings any truck will feel crap.

and your not gonna get a truck any 'better' (stronger, wider... whatever is better for you) for less than $100. stick with your randals.

They fit...
they sort of need massaging into place, but they fit. (not in the 160 though)

Khiros don't really do it for me anymore... I'm waiting for Venoms to come out, I suggest you do the same.
