Default Anything worng with this setup?

Hey! Right now i got a sector 9 Uluwatu which i enjoy riding on. I'm new to this whole down hill longboarding stuff, and through reading posts I've decided to get the Evo. Now I'm not sure what hardware to get but I've been looking at some stuff and this is what i came up with so far...
Deck: Landyachtz Evo
Trucks: ?
Wheels: Landyachtz Hawgs - 77mm 80a
Bearings: Abec11 Biltin Bearings

I'm getting sliding gloves and a full face helmet when i get some more money. Is there anything wrong with my setup or anything better i can get for the same price. I'm mainly going to go down some hills near my house, I don't think I'm going to be going over 40 mph, at least not yet The hill near me have some turns, but what i eventually want to do is ride down the roads on a mountain near my house, which are really long but not too steep. Anyway hope that gives you more insight into what i am looking for.

i was talking to my brother, he was like get these. I figured it would scratch the bottom when i turn lol. Im going to be using the board for going down some hills by my house, not really for cruising thats what my other board is for. BTW i just noticed i spelled wrong incorrectly in the thread title, i feel retarded

landyachtz bears
crails

or you can use any of the conventional reverse kingpin trucks like
- randal 180s
- paris 180s
- charger 10"
as long as you replace the stock bushings with harder ones

but crails or bears would definitely be a better choice
