Randals are still a great truck, and a great value. These haters on here are kooks.

"What happened to Randal trucks? Randals were good, but the Holeys are even better... higher quality bushing, stronger king pin, same geometry, better casting quality, jeez. Randals have a good name ... it's just that they were better than anything else for such a long time they've got an over inflated reputation, in our opinion these days there are better trucks out there." -Lush Longboards

IM PUTTING IT OUT FOR EVERYONE THE RANDAL STOCK KING PINS SUCK AND MUST BE CHANGED ALSO THEY HAVE UNSTRAIGHT HANGERS!!!! due to lack of quality they seem to not be able to produce a straight axcel. also their king pin is made out of cheap meteal and must be replaced imideatly or you can snap one at 80km and see how that feels.
