i buttboard on my buttboard frequently around 50 mph. it has a wheelbase right now with 4 wheels around 36" with 80a lime reflex gumballs. randal 180 front, 13* dewedged indy 215 rear.
if i were to move the rear wheels up front for a 2 randal truck combo up front and get a pair of pink bigzigs for the rear would it ride better? (75mm because the gumballs have worn)

whats the deal with 2 front trucks anyway?
Will it ride better? Dunno, don't know how it rides now. What is the problem, why do you think it needs to ride better?
The main reason for multiple trucks up front is more traction. I also think it helps to reduce wobbles.
But then again, a buttboard won't be race legal with 6 wheels. 4 wheels upfront definitely gives you more traction. But if you are just riding recreationally, your setup should be just fine.

i was mostly just curious. i dont really race, it IS for recreation. based on your input i think ill keep it with 4 wheels until i feel like i need more traction or stability. thanks.
Here's a couple of "just for recreation" 13x48 inch Butt boards. Rules were put in place so you can practice stretching 'em.
One has 2 two 205 luge trucks up front and a 170 on splitters at the rear...........it rides different!
The other runs two 360x12.7mm axles with double wide big Zigs.

[HamsterChucker360] 10:45 pm: the corchia is perfect in everyway
[HamsterChucker360] 10:45 pm: i even told jessica corchia that, i said "its perfect for me"
[circle] 10:45 pm: dervish, doesnt it not have pockets after the kicktails
[HamsterChucker360] 10:46 pm: idk stood on it in like may
[boarderaholic] 10:46 pm: i wonder how creeped out she was by that comment...
[HamsterChucker360] 10:49 pm: dont sig that, just sig i like dicks
A second truck works so much better than splitters. If you really need the extra traction a second set of wheels will provide, you will be better off adding a second truck.

It makes them small luges really.
those are really filthy setups, i would imagine that you would bend alot of axels in that double wide wheel setups.

It doubles the effective footprint on the road, increasing traction. The two trucks will change the dynamic response, by lowering the effective pivot point of the truck (as a combination of two trucks) and increasing stability drastically. Similarly as drop style board set-up.

The splitter rear makes for a board into a great corner slider. It doesn’t have the foot print that two trucks provide as there is no angle difference in the two axles on the splitter set up, as compared to the double truck option. You do need this turning angle difference between the two axles if you want precise traction as the wheel base difference between the front / rear wheels then the rest, comes into play. But like I said, it makes for a rig that’s great for sliding through corners; after all it is a recreational ride.
No…..the double wide bends no axles……it is 12.7mm thick (that's half an inch). I weigh 220lbs and these axles have been flogged hard for 12 months with outstanding results. They are made to go on a Lott Speed Stick luge. They have passed the "tough enough" test well and truly.

How does it lower the pivot point?
I was referring to the fact that you know have two bushings working together instead of one. I don't know p
