Do Thunders give you a longer wheelbase than Indys? I know Ventures do. I've been on Indys for some time now and I'd really like to try something else, but I don't really want to lengthen my wheelbase.

Second pic is Thunder hollow light 149 hi's. The first version not the newest ones.

wasn't there a dude on here who claimed mini-logo trucks were the best trucks he's skated in decades?  where he at?  i remember he had a pretty convincing argument before i remembered we were talking about mini-logo trucks.

ps: krux totally work as a bottle opener, we use them at work all the time when people can't find theirs

Jbones i think it was


I got a set, they weren't bad at all. Felt like an indy low. I stick with theeve though, due to their oval yoke technology.

No problem!!

I actually already had the pics because I tried to document measurable differences between 4 different sets of trucks.
Those two, theeve tiax 5.85 v3's, and venture 5.85 highs.

The new Thunder 149s will not give a longer wheelbase than Indy stage 11s.

I ride indy... they work with you, or they work with me. Especially for smith grinds, they sort of know I want to pop out where as thunders stay down and i fall off the curb.
I like the way they turn and i ride em as loose as I can, but with thunders at a medium loose they keep on turning right into wheel bite. Indy again just seems to turn with me. They don't over turn! and the board does not wobble and not turn at all like with destructo.

Indy lows with risers. Thunder highs are too squirelly

i've got royal trux right now but they work w/ me too. like if i'm in a tailslide i shout 'to fakie' and my trucks deliver me from the ledge going backwards. they know when i want to nollie and when i want to be left alone. they really are the perfect trucks.
