Equipment Reviews

How long have you ridden them?: 6 months
What Setup are you running them on?: Honey skateboards drop through Rogue Otang 4prez 70's and Venom Bushings.
Typical Discepline?: Drifting (unflipped) Downhill (Flipped
How much did you pay for them?: 50 bucks
Where did you buy them?: From a friend who accidentally bought 2 sets. . . ?:-/
What are their weaknesses?: Bushings are not lively enough, you have to have them so loose as to having them unclasped with the washers to get them to respond to carving and sliding in the usual way.
What are their strengths?: Extremely good with the eliminator or intimidator bushings (whichever is made by Venom and 1/3 the price of tracker's modded bushings) The best is that when flipped, it gets you way down lower, a centimeter or so so its a definite plus for straightbombing and I'll definitely use them for a 23 mile push this Nov.
What similar equipment have you ridden?: Randal R2s
Would you recommend them?: Yes

these trucks turn a lot with very little lean which can be a positive or a negative.

Equipment Reviews

How long have you ridden them?: 3 months
What Setup are you running them on?: sector 9 race, classic thane 70mm red riders
Typical Discepline?: free riding, downhill
How much did you pay for them?: 35 dollars off nick breton, usually 60 bucks in store
Where did you buy them?: used from a fellow skater
What are their weaknesses?: the thin metal within the large bushing seat ovalizes easily, others feel that there is a spot where the truck stops turning, which is true but takes a little getting use to.
What are their strengths?: very stable flipped and unflipped, ride like two different trucks. Nimble and agile unflipped, stable and restrictive when flipped. some of the most stable trucks i've ever ridden, and have the fastest turn compared to all other trucks i've ridden that have given me this much stability

Would you recommend them?: Yes

these are a great all round truck and in my opinion easily compete with randals, probably my favourite reverse kingpin truck. Stock bushings at least the ones i got are only good for carving.

before that comet chalice drop though with orangatangs in heat
Typical Discepline?: dh(flipped) carving(unflipped)
How much did you pay for them?: $80 aus
Where did you buy them?: boardshop.com.au
What are their weaknesses?: bushings squeek and washer over the top of the larger then normal bushing may rattle if left loose for carving gets annoying,burrs on the end of two of the axles had to be filed off more build quality though. Very low when flipped
What are their strengths?: real smooth the big bushings are great for carving, when flipped is very stable for dh. Unflipped carve incredibly, well very solid construction will easily fit nearly all drop though decks
