Check out these force trucks Dave from fsu has on ebay. 35 degrees. I have a set and they are awesome value for money. And you can change the angle if you have some randal baseplates

force are great trucks, good bang for your buck but there is a reason they are cheap. The base-plates are very weak. If you buy them get rid of the base-plates and put on some Randal base-plates right away. Vie broken many of their base-plates and seen other people break them at the drop of a hat. The hangers are good though

I have 2 spare hangers here for $15 each delivered if that helps .
I have seen the 50 deg baseplates brake , but not the 35 deg ( thats why i only have 35 deg )

if you smash your shit up then bears might not be the go. They have fixed the problem with the axles bending and what not but the problem lies in the kingpin hole. If you have a look and see how much actual aluminum there is around the hole the king pin goes through you will notice it is like paper thin. Give a few months of solid riding and bashing around on those bad boys and your kingpin hole will grind out and eventually enlarge to become the size of your bushing... it sucks but thats what happens. Its not that bad really it only affects a minor part of the performance but at least your not dealing with a bent axle.
If you want stronger trucks go for CNC, that shit never breaks
