no we dont have of the guards... i was asking him where he got them coz i want some... but for $45 i don't think so, i'll make my own...
Im pretty sure that hellcat has Wave-Cave (fendy can confirm that one for us) but i understand that there is actually a little more concave than the normal one, just to make it different

I see they're moved away from centreset axles. I'd be happy with an 09 up front and the centreset outback.
Stability on the rear with agility on the front.
Just out of curiosity, has the ride height changed? What's it measure from the face of the baseplate if it were topmounted to the axle centre?

the hights are different... They realized that they didnt need to be so low, so many people were hitting kingpings on cracks/holes/bumps/catseyes and they figured they should make them higher... it also adds to the agility of the trucks and makes them more alive... well so said the Meatball himself

Is the noseguard plastic or metal?

Gilbert, having the guard or a riser there adds to the structural strength of the deck because it's dropthru. All the riders weight is hanger there off 4 screws. Back in the day I used to have 2 alum strips there on my old FSU dropthru. Now I got pogo plates which mount from the bottom but ride the same height as dropthru.

yeah that makes sense, helps spread the load of the rider and the board onto a wider area. the noseguard is metal and has a rubber layer in between the guard and nose of the board.
