there is a reason why they are so cheap. they are not the best not turny. There is a reason why they have brand new 08 trucks still on sale

The spherical bearing in the hanger restricts lean, and the bushing seat is restrictive too...so together that means they don't lean much.

But they are a real NO SLOP truck and feel super direct and accurate.

they look so bad ass as well but im a bit worried about the sphearical, i might see if i can grab a set pre owned sometime, see if i like em

there is a guy selling pre owned area for 250

ok cool thanks man

I love mine.  They will turn well if you tinker with the bushings ie remove the Jimz and replace with barrels.  I use mine in the springvale ditch slalom race.  They help you to maintain a good precise line through the turns.  The axle being directly in line with the kingpin helps with the precise steering feel.  This is also the source of the one major drawback; the bulge of metal around the kingpin area can easily catch on the ground if you are on rough terrain.  Don't even think about 70mm wheels, the trucks will barely have any ground clearance.
