i am very interested in the sayshun plasma's, munkaes, Kahalani's and also sabres.

if anyone has riden/rides any of these would love to hear what you have to say about them,

also if anyone has any suggestions about the width of the trucks to go the the avenger would also like to hear.

randals with a nice bushing set up will be an upgrade from kookies.

In case you didn't know, it isn't just a 608 bearing, its a spherical bearing.
slop = a dead spot in your turning action when you lean. can also create rattle and instability in your truck when you try rolling straight at high speed.

slop = the problem only with the turn in munkae trucks

I reckon smokies were great.

The only issues were super low k/p clearance.

Always clipped on cats-eyes and 10mm axles can limit your wheel bearing choice.

So 83mm flys lol?

i went from kookys to randal 42s, and i was far more confident.....

i went from randals to aeras, and i absolutely love them....

moral of the story,

get caliber 44s :)

hahhaha does, anyone now anything about the sayshun plasma precisions??

Premium MemberPermalink Reply by Fitz on March 7, 2011 at 20:48

i have a set for sale.

reconditioned 2nd hand. I removed the "permanent" kingpin Ha! Now you can use any convensional style k.p.

gutter scrapes have been filed smooth.

Sand blasted for a frosty style finish. Ready to paint or just keep em as is looks just as good.

 

Message my page if interestd rather than hijacking this thread.

They're pretty sweet. 

They are a super strong, and simple design and have permanent axles, fixed kingpin, and no sphericals

They only have the old school hole pattern 

They're a couple of mm lower than 42* Randals

Sayshun is no longer associated with the CNC milling company Prototypes Plus who make these trucks 

They come with a lifetime guarantee ( which Prototypes Plus are apparently still honoring )

Apparently Prototypes Plus are going to be making new trucks under the name First Addition

they are pretty good, but the non removable kingpins have caused a ton of worries, and sayshun has about the worst customer service out there....

Yeah I've heard they're Clints to deal with, but anything to do with the trucks goes straight through Prototypes Plus now.
