They are excellent as long as you don't ride in the rain. They rust quickly and after they rust they aren't as good as they once were. Great cheap bearings and unless you want a nicer bearing made out of nicer materials, then reds are for you.

Typical Discepline?: Everything except for slalom and sliding
How much did you pay for them?: 20
Where did you buy them?: Local skateshop- "Central Sports"

If you want a good truck that is both stable and carvy, get Randal's. They are cheap, durable, can handle most things you at it. I've been running them for almost a year, and they've been flawless.
Equipment Reviews
How long have you ridden them?: 11 months
What Setup are you running them on?: Sector 9 Nosewalker, Khiro red barrel (90a) on the bottom and Randal bottom yellow's on top, Bones Reds and 84a gumballs.
Typical Discepline?: Cruising, Carving, Light DH and light lugeing
How much did you pay for them?: $40
Where did you buy them?: skatesonhaight.com
What are their weaknesses?: The older ones (the ones I have) aren't casted that beautifully and their bushings seats aren't the greatest and the kingpin sucks (its head is very small and its hard to get a grip on it).
What are their strengths?: They are an excellent all around truck that are ready to carve with stock and are plenty of fun to ride. They are agile and can handle many things that you throw at it.
What similar equipment have you ridden?: Grizzlies, Paris 180's.
Would you recommend them?: Yes

They are nice trucks, they do the job and they are plenty of fun to ride. I think Indy's may be a tad better because of their turning ability, but Trackers are very close to Indy's. If you want a solid truck that can do a lot, Trackers are good.
