"mm" = millimeters, measure unit of wheel diameter.
Most wheels used for sliding are 55 to 65mm in diameter.
As for duro, 95+ is what's usually adviced for trick sliding.

I realize that there are much better trucks for the job but does anyone use Randal trucks for any sliding or is that non functional?

If you use randal trucks, when you are in mid-slide you will spontaneously combust, no joke I've seen it happen before.

randall's work just fine, it just takes a little more speed i reccomend tracker darts. it is way easier to get you wheels to break if they dont want to turn
