Although I've ridden longboards for a few years, I've only just got my first ever serious speed board. And other than a few runs down my street 10 minutes ago (probably hit about 35 km/h), tomorrow it's going to be properly christened on a big hill south of Sydney.
Kinda experimental setup on this; Kebbek Flushcut, Tracker Fastrack on the front, Randal 180 on the back (35 deg baseplate), Lemon & Lime Big Zigs (pinched from my slalom board).

Here's a new addition - the Hopkin Racing Model, made by Pavel. Foamcore slalom deck, 19/20" wheelbase, with kicktail and heaps of concave
(Click 'em for the full-size pics)
A bit dirty, should've cleaned it first:
Slightly rough grip-tape job - that hardcore griptape doesn't like to be cut:

thinking about getting the new kebbek flushcut, anyone have one? what do you think? any good?

The Kebbek was a bit turny and carvy, no matter how tight I cranked the bushings. For bushings I had a green Rad and black JimZ in the back, but the Jimz really only fits properly on one side of the Randal hanger, and I stupidly had it on the wrong side, so it wasn't seated properly. I might also try and get my hands on some stiffer Fastrack bushings for the front.
I might also try flipping the hangers.
The Hopkin Pavel...I'll probably put a Bennett on the front and Splitfire on the back, unless I can get my hands on something else.

Yeah, I can't imagine the Randals working as a front truck for slalom - they're too slow-turning...what I mean is that you have to lean them over a lot before they start turning. In other words - too stable! I like a twitchy, nervous front truck for slalom, something that you only have to think about turning and it does it.
It's one of those things - once you get used to that nervousness you find that you can ride them at good speed and you start to rely on their responsiveness. The Randal 125 might work well at a Super GS where you need stability but not quick-turning.

I've ridden Scribers - they were fun, but they're so wide that they don't have that quick reaction you need for slalom - you have to shift your body-weight too far from one side to the other to transition from one turn to the other.
Ha, an RTX wedged 15 - 20 deg or a Bennett wedged 5 - 10 deg - either'll work as a nice and responsive front slalom truck. Just keep riding it till it feels normal!

my super awesome setup:
42" phase 1 pintail (aka the cheapest deck i could find) with ghetto custom hacksaw-ed out wheel holes (they sure as hell dont qualify as arches)
generic 150mm trucks (aka the cheapest trucks i could find)
70mm 75a blue sector 9 wheels (aka the only wheels i could find in adelaide after the el-genericos i had exploded mid-turn in a carpark)
red bones
