So I set up my Hellcat with 42 randal plates paris 180 hanger front randal 180 hanger back. My bushing setup is venom 85 conical top and 93 barrel bottom and Im running lemon lime big zigs.

This is by far the best setup I have ever ridden. There is so much rebound I don't know what to do with it. The pairs hanger adds a nice feel to the front of the deck. I will try it with pairs back to see what that feels like too.

really, wondering what a stim in the randal in back would feel like, i might be trying that myself here sometime

Right now it is setup for flat ground riding with lots of carving. For my DH setup I was thinking about using karrot 83 stims bottom (front and back) with venom 83 top front and a Jimz white bottom on top in the back.

Which hanger gives more lean Paris or Randal?

**mc99david** · 02-12-2009 04:22 PM

randals give more lean, and actualy, i dont like paris trucks with stims at all, they just cant lean far enough to handle any real turns. the bushing seat is too small for that shape of bushing

**southshorelocal** · 02-12-2009 04:24 PM

so for dh it would be smarter to put the Paris hanger in the back

**mc99david** · 02-12-2009 04:25 PM

unless you are runing venoms, then i'd put the paris in the front. Run venoms in paris in front, and stim/jimz in the randals in back. I really think that will work good, and plan on trying it now. it sounds nice

**southshorelocal** · 02-12-2009 04:26 PM

cool cool cool. Thanks for the help I am really stoked on this setup right now. I highly suggest everyone doing it to their decks.

Where can I get the right size skatebearings inside the house? (Eg. Printer)

**FL_RIDER_93** · 02-12-2009 07:01 PM

any advise on not losing traction through turns

**mc99david** · 02-12-2009 07:18 PM

someone: I totaly dont get what you are asking, sorry.

flrider: you are probably moving off your board too much. you need to keep the weight on the board, keep your hands off the ground if possable, and i fyou have to put a hand down, you will grip more if you move your hand that is on the ground infront of the front wheels, it will really grip at that point.

what style of bushings are best for sliding:
double barrel
double cone
or standing barrel/cone?

**mc99david** · 02-12-2009 08:55 PM

i honestly dont think there is a bushing that is best for sliding. for a slide specific board, i think the trucks matter the most, i love indies, and trucks as loose as you can get them without wheel bite

**sean94** · 02-12-2009 08:58 PM

do randal 42's* have significant less turn than 50*, and how much lower are they then 50*?

**Stop_and_Roll** · 02-12-2009 10:21 PM

Wooh just saw the timeline up on the front page!
Sexy board.
Thinking about getting one now...
Use it as a cruiser/pump/thrash/freeride.

Have you ridden one yet dave?

**Chaunce** · 02-12-2009 10:43 PM

What are the main differences between Randals and Paris'?

This question seems as common as the Dervish vs. Vanguard question used to be, but I haven't been able to find any real answers. It seems there's just a bunch of mixed answers or extremely vague ones with absolutely no detail whatsoever.

Is it lean? Turning ability? Responsiveness?

If the difference isn't too noticeable, I'll probably just grab another set of used Randals from someone. Otherwise, I'd like to try a set of Parises for myself.

**DHBM** · 02-12-2009 10:53 PM

camber good or bad in a 29.8 inch board, like the RB30... its so very slight though...

**vince-t** · 02-14-2009 03:14 AM

how stable and practical would it be for me to run indy 215s out front and randal 42's out back on my home made speedboard?

**southshorelocal** · 02-16-2009 03:55 PM

so after a little more time on my randal/Paris combo I have to say it is better than I thought. I just put it on my g-bomb chamber deck and hopefully it will be a pump machine.

Hope all is well in your life. Any pics of my deck? Even if it isn't finished.
