    Default rayne timeline trucks?

    i know there's a thread about this. but it was confusing and i wasn't sure and it was for a 80 lb. year old kid.
    anyways would a 4.3 bennet truck work? and what rtx size should i use in the back?
    closest to 4.3 is 106... i'm 120 pounds and 5'5" shoe size 9

    you got it.
    4.3 bennett and 106mm rts and play w/ wedges 'til you find what you like.
    10-15deg positive front, 5-10deg negative rear is the good advice i received.
    5.0 bennett mates well w/ 129mm rts if you want a little more stability.
    your weight comes more into play w/ bushing/wheel duro choices.
    at 80lbs i'd guess some config of white, orange and maybe blue Khiros would work out. (been awhile since i weighed 80lbs, Lol)
    that $30 Khiro kit is also a great aid in dialing in setups.
    good luck, it's a great (FUN) little board.

    Lol, i thought i read that right the 1st time but just went to edit it back to 80lbs...
    don't sweat it, KEK...
    you have all the info you need.
    ok, at 120lbs ftw:
    either buy a blue, orange and white set of Khiro bushings
    or the comprehensive $30-ish dollar kit and (imo) whatever 78a wheels you fancy
    (70mm zigs are good to me - tho i like 83a at my 190lbs)
    and fool around w/ the bushings - even mix and match tops and bottoms - til you
    find something that really sings for you.
    it's more deduction than rocket science, you'll get it dialed.

    okay last thing. would the set-up i'm looking for be too twitchy?
    like.. the fastest i've gone is like 15 mph cuz i don't like downhill and carve, never straight down. and my usual hills being 10 mph range carving.
    would it be able to hold 15 mph? 20 mph? 25 mph?

    if you're nervous about "stable", i'd suggest a 5.0 bennett + 129mm RTS, or "bit more stable", a 139mm RTS/X combo.
    they're both REALLY fun on this board.
    4.3/106mmRTS is pretty quick and less forgiving but "what doesn't kill us"... right?

    i'd personally pick the "middle-ground" if i were you, (129 RTS + 5.0) as it provides the most
    room to maneuver and a good reference-base for further experimenting, imo in the long run.
    this sh1t is relative, KEK... you'll find what you like in time, don't stress, mate.

    best,
    -jake.
